Low Salt Cookbooks

If you are following a low salt diet, or more precisely, a low sodium diet, then you will probably already know that it is quite difficult to do this successfully if you rely solely on processed foods and commercially prepared meals. Home cooking is important as you can control the amount of salt (and other forms of sodium) that goes into your food.

It is not just a matter of not adding salt to foods, there is sodium hidden in other products such as self-raising flour, raising agents such as sodium bicarbonate, and some highly salted common ingredients.

Hence the need for low sodium cookbooks. Here are three that we have recommended in our newsletter. All three are suitable for Australian users on low sodium diets.

50 Easy Low Salt Recipes. An A5 booklet of 34 pages. Gabrielle (who is a Home Economist) has developed no-added-salt recipes with interesting flavours. Her book has recipes for meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, dips, soups, pizza, sauces & dressings, and biscuits & cakes. She has used all her recipes on a daily basis for her family and friends, so they are well tested. Price is $12 + $2 P&H. Payment of $14 should be sent by cheque or money order (note: Australia only), with your name and delivery address details to Gabrielle Bluett, 8/46 Muston Street, Mosman, NSW, 2088. For enquiries, contact Gabrielle by phone (02) 9969 3624 or email: bbluett1[at]bigpond.com
Iris's Low-salt Recipes.  An A4 booklet of 60 pages, covering Main Courses, Desserts, Soups, Cakes & Biscuits, Sweets, and Bread Making. Low price of $15 (postage included). (Note: within Australia only). These are recipes that were developed by Iris for her friend Kath. Thanks to a grant from their local council plus volunteer help, the recipes have been produced in bound form for anyone who wants to prepare good Australian home-cooked foods with lots of flavour, but which are low in sodium. Email Kath Moody to place an order and arrange payment: kath_moody[at]hotmail.com or phone (02) 9918 2502.
