Looking for ways to improve your heart health? Cooking à la Heart, Fourth Edition: 500 Easy and Delicious Recipes for Heart-Conscious, Healthy Meals has enough mouthwatering recipe to keep you healthy and satisfied for at least a year with enough recipes for even the pickiest eaters to choose appealing dishes. In fact, the number of recipes is almost overwhelming.

This huge cookbook is well-organized and has chapters on everything from spice blends to sauces and condiments, to breakfasts, and the usual meats, seafood, vegetables, chicken, desserts, and the list goes on and on. Every recipe has been developed for heart health, but they do have enough fat and flavor to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. The recipes are written in traditional form, and are easy to follow. They call for ingredients that are easy to find at any regular grocery store, so there is no need to visit the high-priced specialty grocery stores.

The one drawback is that there are very few photographs, and the ones that are included aren’t particularly inspiring. Cooks will have to use their imagination as to how the finished recipe will look. The authors are professional medical people, and their focus is obviously re-educating us to eat in a heart healthy way.

While it would be better if there were photographs, there are hundreds of excellent recipes to choose from and this cookbook is one that should be on the shelf of anyone who wants to improve the health of those they cook for. It will be oft used.
