The Top 100 Low Salt Recipes

Description

Eating too much salt can contribute to many health problems, including osteoporosis, certain cancers, kidney disease and obesity, as well as raising your blood pressure and increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke. Governments and health organisations around the world are advising us to cut our salt intake. However, reducing your salt content doesn't have to mean bland, flavourless food, or meals that are difficult to prepare. This book shows you how to use a range of exciting alternative flavourings, herbs and spices to create tantalizing, healthy meals. What's more, all the recipes are rich in essential nutrients to help boost your health and energy levels. You can choose from a wonderful range of world flavours from different cuisines, as well as low-salt versions of firm favourites, including burgers, curries, breads, soups and sweet treats. This is the one-stop guide to low-salt cooking.
