Since the American Heart Association published its first cookbook in 1973, dozens of health and diet trends have come and gone. Throughout this time, the Association, the foremost authority on heart health, has set the standard for nutritious eating.

In today’s climate of confusing and often contradictory dietary trends, the American Heart Association once again rises above the fray and presents credible, easy-to-understand information about maintaining a healthy heart—and delicious recipes that make it simple to follow that advice at every meal.

Good cooking guidance for healthy eating

We definitely recommend this book as a good guide to healthier eating.

Excellent Resource

This is a wonderful book that can act as a great resource for workplaces which have catering services. It's another avenue to workplace wellness that people may not consider. I've tried many recipes at home as well - wondeful, tasteful dishes! Thanks, American Heart!!

new american heart association cookbook

There is no need to buy any other cookbook as this one has everything. It is well worth the money with recipes that aren't filled with a bunch of foo foo ingredients that you can't find. I highly recommend it!

Great for beginning cooks

I never was much of a cook, but after embarking on a rigorous fitness program, I was highly encouraged by my personal trainer to cook my own meals. By cooking myself, I would know exactly what I was eating. Although I don't have a heart problem (that I know about, anyway), I saw this cookbook when I was visiting someone in the hospital and noted that it was extensive and varied. It also listed the calories and other nutritional information for each recipe. So when I decided to cook, I ordered a copy. I have to say that I am very pleased. The recipes are very easy to follow, even for the novice. I don't confuse the results with gourmet meals, but they are light and tasty. Thanks to this cookbook, I eat a very varied and healthy diet and look forward every week to trying new things. That is quite a change from my old habits, where I bought a lot of prepackaged meals and tended to eat the same things week after week. I also have a cabinet full of spices that I actually use. If you are looking for a good starter cookbook for healthy eating, I highly recommend this book.

Cookbook analysis

I am truly disappointed with this cookbook. It is in a type of print that is very difficult to read even for my good eyes. The list of ingredients for most recipes is a huge deterrent in my making the majority of these recipes.
