June 12, 2020I’ve been dabbling with the Keto diet, but it sure is hard to give up potatoes, pasta, brown rice and the rest of the grains — even the whole-grain versions. So when I saw that the Mayo Clinic was recommending something called the DASH Diet, I was more than intrigued.
DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. My blood pressure is already pretty low, but the DASH diet lets you have the occasional potato or pasta and — whole-grain, of course — and it seems a bit more doable. It’s more permissive, but I don’t think it measures up to South Beach diet, which, while more restrictive, leads to better weight loss. I picked up a few good recipes, but it’s really a cookbook for someone with high-blood pressure. Because of that, I did not think it fair for me to rate this cookbook.

Short book and lacks information
I was aware that this book was a short simple and sweet cookbook at the time of purchase. But I did feel it left me with more questions than answers. If you are looking for more in depth information before starting this way of eating, i would try the internet or Pinterest for better answers.

"Beginners" is a relative term... While the book is nice and basic- covering a quick description and some do's and don'ts then going right into a menu and recipe list- it is most definitely NOT for beginning cooks!
It has the feel of someone's personal notes written down quickly and published without any kind of feedback or editing. The recipes, although organized by meal type, are in no particular order and a lot of flipping pages is required to match up a day's menu with the appropriate recipes. Pictures often have little to do with the dish instructions! One picture of an appetizing-looking omelet with ham and cheese turns out to use broccoli and egg whites, no ham or cheese called for in the recipe at all. I believe I even recognized some images from various cooking websites, so I'm guessing the author just snagged a bunch of images and slapped them into the book with a "close enough" attitude.
Instructions are vague and sometimes a step or two is omitted. Being an experienced cook myself, I was able to fill in the gaps to create each meal, yet even I was occasionally stumped by an ingredient list that did not match up with the instructions!
If one can deal with the headaches caused by this lack of organization, the meal plan is solid and the recipes fairly simple and appetizing. In that sense I agree that the cookbook is for beginners to the DASH diet plan.
Overall I am not screaming for my $1.99 digital purchase back, but I would NOT purchase this in hard copy nor would I recommend it to a new or nervous cook.

This updated version is a treasure for those seeking to reduce blood pressure and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The author provides an excellent explanation of why this plan, which emphasizes whole food, works well. Recipes are listed by meals with my favorite so far being a frittata with leeks and fontina cheese, neither of which I'd ever used before.
Creative, yet simple to follow, the recipes are just what I needed. Highly recommend.

Great recipes
This was really good. I’m trying a few of these recipes and really liking them so far. They’re easy to follow and you don’t have to hunt down unicorn dust for flavor. Super simple ingredients you can find in any grocery store. I also loved that even though this was an EBOOK most of the recipes have delicious photos 😊😊💞

Need more switches for food allergies. Good presentation overall. Great step by step instructions. Pictures make the recipe look appetizing

Great recipes to learn for someone who needs to change eating habits for health reasons. I’m going to have to check some of these out.
