Thoughts: I thought this was a pretty good book. The authors explained what the DASH diet is (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) – in other words, how to lower your blood pressure through what you eat. There are three weeks’ worth of meal plans as well as shopping lists so you can have everything on hand. I loved the seasoning mixes recipes so you can make your own seasonings. Each recipe includes number of servings, prep and cook times, tips, and (most important to me) nutrient information. And some really good recipes too with ingredients that aren’t too hard to find or “once and done” – you know, those recipes that call for that one ingredient you don’t have, you will never have, and will never use again except for that specific recipe. I wish it had listings for allergens (is it gluten free, nuts, dairy, etc.), but that is minor as you can tell by reading the recipe.
Recommendation: I’d definitely add this one to my cookbook stash, especially if you’re looking to work toward a healthier lifestyle.
