Great food!, Jan 7 2005
By A Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cooking a LA Heart Cookbook: Delicious Heart Healthy Recipes to Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke (Paperback)
My husband had a heart attack so I bought this book to cook foods for him that I thought would be more healthy for him to eat. I don't know that much about nutrition, but I do know that these are some of the best tasting recipes that I have ever cooked...from any cookbook of any kind...and I have been cooking for a long time! I would recommend this book to anyone, heart problem or not!

Great Food, Poor Bookbinding., Jun 19 2007
By H. Bahr - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cooking a LA Heart Cookbook: Delicious Heart Healthy Recipes to Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke (Paperback)
The recipes are excellent, but the cookbook itself is falling apart. Maybe because I use it so often. You will get better tasting results from this cookbook than from many of the other heart healthy cookbooks. I wish the publisher had included pictures of the dishes. This book has healthy versions of many of my favorite dishes from childhood, including pork chops.

Vegetable Quiche is Outstanding!, July 12 2010
By Linda J. Hachfeld "hearty heart" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cooking a LA Heart Cookbook: Delicious Heart Healthy Recipes to Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke (Paperback)
I decided to make a recipe from the book to take to a women's group meeting that was scheduled in the morning. I made the unique rice-crust vegetable quiche recipe and was thrilled that I did. It sat up beautifully in my 9 x 13-inch pan; cut squarely; and was so delicious!My group of 24 loved the recipe and the best part--there were people present that couldn't eat gluten and had to avoid wheat. Most "egg bakes" have bread...this recipe doesn't call for any wheat products...so it was a double winner.
Recipes in this book work! And, people sing your praises for a long time because they remember good food!
