The 8-Week Cholesterol Cure Cookbook

Description for THE 8-WEEK CHOLESTEROL CURE COOKBOOK by Robert E Kowalski:

THE 8-WEEK CHOLESTEROL CURE Cookbook is the first cookbook based on only those foods that lower cholesterol. Each of the special ingredients is described in terms of how it lowers cholesterol, what it is like to work with in the kitchen, and where you can get it. Although you don't have to read THE 8-WEEK CHOLESTEROL CURE to sue this book, THE 8-WEEK CHOLESTEROL CURE COOKBOOK extends the benefits of that program by offering many new ways to get cholesterol-lowering agents into your diet from a wide variety of sources: dried beans and peas, barley, rice bran, apple fiber, fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, oatmeal, guar gum, and, of course, oat bran. It also offers ways to keep cholesterol levels down by using newly available lean meats.

The book includes more than 200 original recipes for wonderfully flavorful and healthful dishes for everything from appetizers to desserts. The recipes are sophisticated but not complicated and anything but boring: Cream of Cabbage and Apple Soup; Chickpea, Corn, and Pimiento Salad; Tortilla and Black Bean Torte; Hungarian Bean and Sauerkraut Stew with Ham; Bluefish Parmigiana; Brazilian Black Bean and Beef Casserole; Scallion, Cornmeal, and Oat-Bran Johnny cakes; Blueberry Corn-Bran Muffins; Mocha Torte; and man more. Each recipe includes values for calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium.

Robert Kowalski also provides guidelines for general good nutrition and eating habits as well as ideas for food shopping and preparation.
