Customer Reviews:
I am disappointed in this cookbook!.......2007-08-14
I am very disappointed in this cookbook. My husband and I have just begun to watch our cholesterol and we thought an American Heart Association cookbook would be a good start. Unfortunately, I've read through the entire book and can't imagine eating this way. These low fat, low cholesterol recipes are just worked over true-blue American food which is generally inedible no matter what! I'm going to look for other cookbooks and other recipes that actually have flavor, interesting ingredients, and a reason other than "low cholesterol" to make it to our dinner table.
Nice recipes that are low in fat and cholesterol.......2007-07-18
Heart disease is a major cause of death among Americans (number one, in fact). As the book makes clear, the good news is that certain steps that an individual takes can measurably accept the odds of suffering from or succumbing to heart disease. One of these is by reducing fat and cholesterol in one's diet.
Some low fat and low cholesterol cooking can be very bland and disappointing. The recipes here tend to be pretty good, providing good taste as well as healthy food.
With chili, for example, use a proper oil for cooking, use lean ground sirloin, use no-salt tomato sauce (to be honest, I scarcely ever use salt in recipes, even when called for, and I haven't noticed any problems--but I also use other herbs and spices and these suffice very nicely). The result? A nice chili with lower levels of fat and cholesterol.
The same with other recipes. A little common sense with fat and cholesterol and one can end up with tasty meals that are also healthy meals. Not all recipes are necessarily equally tasty, but experimentation will tell the reader which ones to add to the repertoire of dishes that one prepares.
So, a useful cookbook. Interested in reducing fat and cholesterol? Take a look.
Very useful.......2007-06-07
My wife and I like the recipes in this book.
I recommend it
Not the normal quality recipes from AHA.......2007-05-17
I purchased this book because we have cholesterol issues in the family, and so far, I've made 3 or 4 recipes involving beef. They've been very dry and not visually appealing (with kids, this is important!:)) I've found most of the entrees have been time consuming to prepare as well, lots of ingredients. Truthfully, the only thing I'm enjoying from the book is the information in the beginning about cholesterol and how it affects your health- lots of great informative points on this but the recipes are just not very tasty. I also own American Heart Association's Meals in Minutes, which is much better.
Disappointment.......2007-05-14
I have used the first AHA Low-Fat, Low Cholesterol book since its publication. Have not had this issue long enough to try many of the recipes but, frankly, have not seen many that interest me. Having had a chance to look this book over first, I would not have purchased. If you are a first-time user, perhaps you will feel differently.

Low-fat with flavor.......2001-11-24
I reach for this cookbook over and over again, and I've yet to be disappointed by one of the recipes. The comments are helpful, the recipes easy to follow, and the results are always tasty. I read one reviewers' complaints about the pealla recipe, but I've made this dish several times for dinner parties, and I and my guests have always been pleased. The book offers a wonderful way to enjoy low-fat cooking without sacrificing flavor. It truly has become the bedrock of my low-fat cooking library.
Good if you know what you're doing?.......2000-12-09
A comment on my earlier review: I was going to use the author's recipe for paella until I read it more carefully and then I found that most of it went against the grain so I didn't. I understand that recipes for paella abound and that hers may be to other people's taste but it wasn't to mine. In the name of fat reduction she suggests that if the reader cannot get Spanish chorizo, but only Mexican chorizo, the reader use "light smoked sausage" (p. 154) because Mexican chorizo is "swimming in fat" (p. 144). While it is true that chorizo is quite high in fat, there is only so much of it in any particular serving and it is absolutely indispensable. Paella would just not be paella without it! Furthermore, she uses 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves and 1/2 pound boneless pork loin chops for 8 servings, in addition to 1/2 pound large shrimp. 8 fresh clams, 8 fresh mussles (understand that this is 1/4 chicken breast half, 1 oz. of shrimp, 1 mussel and 1 clam per serving and 1 oz. pork chops), and artichoke hearts, etc. (p. 144-145), and she says to cut the chicken and the pork into CUBES! While this may be fine for some, I could not do it this way. I omitted the pork entirely, and used what I prefer: bone-in chicken thighs with skin (I would use 1 per serving)), and I left them whole. Also, I omitted the artichoke hearts which I didn't think would work well enough, and I used more saffron than she says is necessary and no matter what recipe you use, I suggest that you use saffron to taste. Also, I would not (although one could) cook the chorizo in the stockpot with the rice-I panfry it. If the way I make it increases the fat content to some extent over the way she does it (her recipe has 7 grams of Total Fat and 2 grams of Saturated Fat per serving-but at 5' 3 1/2 inches tall, I know from the website of Dr. C. Everett Koop that I can have 50 grams of fat per day, so I don't know what the fuss is about), I think that that is vastly preferable, especially since one does not have paella every day. I am wondering what to do about the other recipes in the book about which I know nothing...
Terrific cookbook with healthful recipes!.......2000-11-29
This cookbook is divided into sections each with recipes from soups to salads, entrees and desserts from a different international cuisine (French, German, Hispanic, Italian, Middle Eastern, etc.) complete with nutritional analysis for each recipe so that the reader can see just how many calories, protein, carbohydrates. cholesterol, sodium and total fat (broken down into saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsatured) all expressed in grams or milligrams per serving, except calories, and use his calculator to compute the total number of calories and/or fat grams per meal, if he needs to. There are mouthwatering color photographs of some of the recipes grouped together in two different parts the book. Last recipe I tried was for the Turkey Rolls with Prosciutto and Cheese (Italian). Because it is quite high in calories (408 per serving) I omitted some of the ingredients (flour, bread crumbs, egg substitute and bread crumbs). I liked it (although I didn't know what I was missing because I'd never had it/made it before) The author is good enough to say that it is traditonally made with chicken breasts so if you want to make it with them, you can do that too. Next on my list that looks beautiful-Chicken with Forty Colves of Garlic (French) and their Paella (Hispanic). Also Chicken Piccata (Italian),Aegean baked Fish (Greek) and Couscous with Lamb Stew (Middle Eastern). Highly recommended. Wouldn't want to be without it.

Customer Reviews:
Great start to healthy.......2007-03-10
My husband was recently told he has high cholesterol. His doctor told him to make life changes if he wanted to see 50. We have tried several recipes and have liked all of them. They use simple ingrediants. If you have to add something to your cabinet, more than likely you will use it in more than one of the recipes.
improving my diet.......2006-11-10
As a diabetic with a number of health issues, I found this cookbook to be most helpful in my fight to maintain good health. They are varied and simple to make.
Lose weight, lower cholesterol.......2006-11-08
This is a very informative book. As soon as my Dr. told me my cholesterol was too high, I bought it. After 2 months of reading how to change my eating habits and using the recipes, I was able to lower my cholesterol by 55 points! It would have received 5 stars if there were some pictures (there are none).
Delicious and recipes have great nutritional stats.......2006-08-30
Every recipe I have made from this book has been delicious! I was surprised! And the recipes use common ingredients. Recipes are easy to assemble and the directions make sense. If only it had pictures! I think the revised editions have more pics. Great cookbook and I definitely recommend it for anyone concerned about improving their health.
Good recipes, annoying format.......2005-08-08
I'm not sure if there are different versions of this cookbook, but the one I bought is the size of a paperback novel. That makes it quite hard to use in the kitchen, because the pages and print are very small, and the book won't stay open on the counter unless you break the spine.
However, the recipes I've tried have been pretty good. Just look around to see if it comes in hardcover or another, easier, format.

This 25th-anniversary edition of the classic, bestselling cookbook contains 600 heart-healthy recipes, 150 of them brand-new. The book has been updated to reflect the use of nonfat and low-fat ingredients that didn't exist just a few years ago. Recipes include appetizers, snacks, beverages, soups, salads, entrées (seafood, poultry, meat, vegetarian), vegetables, side dishes, sauces, breads, breakfasts, and, of course, desserts. Many are healthier versions of old favorites--such as Eggplant Parmesan, Chicken à la King, Sweet and Sour Pork, Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Devil's Food Cake, and Chocolate Chip Cookies--with some new entries that reflect modern eating trends, like Portobello Mushroom Wrap with Yogurt Curry Sauce, Pad Thai, Curried Quinoa Salad with Cranberries and Almonds, and Artichoke and Chick-Pea Pilaf. Whether you want a quick meal, a nutritious dinner the whole family will enjoy, or a festive entrée to impress guests, this book has an array of choices.
Most recipes reflect AHA guidelines: no more than 30 percent total fat, 8 to 10 percent saturated fat, less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day; plenty of vegetables and grains; and moderate sugar and sodium. Some recipes are higher in fat, but you balance those with lower-fat recipes on other days of the week. Nutritional information includes calories, protein, carbohydrates, cholesterol, fat (total, saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated), fiber, and sodium. --Joan Price
Book Description
When the American Heart Association, the country's most-trusted authority on heart-healthy living, published the first edition of its cookbook twenty-five years ago, it could hardly have predicted that the book would become a runaway bestseller and set the standard for healthful and delicious eating. To celebrate the book's silver anniversary, the AHA has completely updated and revised this jewel of its renowned cookbook library. This latest edition is a must-have for every chef who wants tasty, good-for-you recipes in step with how we eat today.
Each of the more than 600 recipes--including over 150 that are brand-new--has been kitchen-tested for high flavor and ease of preparation.
Dishes such as Risotto with Broccoli and Leeks, Grilled Tuna with Pineapple-Nectarine Salsa, and Minted Cantaloupe Soup with Fresh Lime prove that healthful food doesn't have to be boring, spartan, or old-fashioned. Here you'll find recipes for the hottest trends in cooking, from wrap sandwiches and pesto to vegetarian entrées
and ethnic cuisines. If you're a chef on the go, you'll appreciate the many recipes that will help you put a meal on the table in a flash--from quick-and-easy offerings and twofer recipes that let you have delicious planned-overs for later in the work week to one-dish meals and microwave recipes. The handy menus will help you mix and match recipes not only for weekday dining but also for the perfect holiday meal, party, or other special occasion. And with the AHA's suggestions, you can turn treasured family favorites into heart-healthy classics.
You'll also read the latest on how what you eat can affect your health. In addition to the AHA's dietary guidelines and recommendations, you'll find discussions about the importance of fiber, folic acid, and eating a variety of foods. Each kitchen-tested recipe is accompanied by a complete nutritional breakdown, including total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, calories, fiber, and more, so it's easy to work any of the recipes into any eating plan. The New American Heart Association Cookbook will be the basic cookbook you'll find yourself reaching for again and again.
The American Heart Association is the nation's most-trusted authority on heart-healthy living and diet. Its best-selling library of cookbooks includes:
American Heart Association Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook, Second Edition

New American Heart Association Cookbook.......2007-09-15
The New American Heart Association cookbook 7th addition is great, after my husband suffered a heart attack I knew we had to change the way we looked at food, all the meals are tasty and well planned. It gives you tools to change the way you cook and eat for a healthy lifestyle.
Yummy.......2007-08-09
I really like this cookbook. It is SO well organized! There's a table of contents, and index, and the section breaks are clearly delineated so you can turn to them easily and quickly. This isn't rocket science, but it's something the authors of many other cookbooks can't seem to wrap their brains around.
So far I've made a handful of the recipes. They aren't gourmet; they are basic family fare. I've liked everything that I've made from here. The warm orzo salad with black beans and ham, and the portobello and sirloin strips over spinach noodles were particularly well-received.
Yum.......2007-07-30
7th Edition, New American Heart Association Cookbook is quickly becoming one of my favorite cookbooks. Nice sauces, delicious recipes from appetizers through entees to desserts.
I'll be giving this book as a gift to others.
Great Cookbook.......2007-05-28
Lots of great recipes and not a lot of ingredients that you need to make a special trip to the grocery store for.
I'd rather die than use this book.......2007-05-25
I'd rather die of a heart attack than cook from this book! I bought it for my husband because he has high colesterol, but every recipe we tried was lacking in flavor. The Southwestern Ratatouille was bland, and other recipes didn't fare any better. The recipe titles are tantalizing, but fail to deliver flavor.

High blood cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart disease, the number one cause of death in the U.S. Experts recommend reducing dietary cholesterol and saturated fat. This means cutting down on the animal fat present in meat and eating more high-fiber, high-quality, complex carbohydrates. To help you do this, the American Heart Association has developed the Step-One Diet and the Step-Two Diet. Both are similar in recommending that 30 percent or less of your calories come from fat, 10 to 20 percent from protein, and 50 to 60 percent from carbohydrates. The Step-Two is more restrictive of saturated fat and cholesterol.
The AHA makes these changes easy to put into action with 200 recipes and clear explanations of how to shop, cook, and substitute ingredients. You'll learn alternatives to high-fat staples. For example, make Mock Sour Cream with skim milk, lemon juice, and low-fat cottage cheese, or try the Artichoke and Spinach Spread instead of mayonnaise. Blend peanut butter with cooked carrots to keep the peanut taste while lowering the fat. The recipes include a variety of appetizers, soups, salads, fish, poultry, meat, vegetarian dishes, vegetables, sauces, breads, and desserts. There's nothing austere or "diet"-like about these recipes: Spinach-Stuffed Pizza, Beef Stroganoff, Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken, Halibut Kabobs, Chinese Vegetable Stir-Fry, and treats like Mocha Cheesecake and Chocolate Soufflé. Each recipe includes a nutrient analysis of calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat (total, saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated), cholesterol, and sodium.
You'd be smart to avoid the popular and unhealthy eat-all-the-meat-and-fat-you-want fad diets and take your nutritional advice from an organization that exists solely to help you keep your heart healthy. --Joan Price
Book Description
Now in mass market, this bestseller (which has sold more than 450,000 copies) can reach even more of the 96 million Americans who need to lower their fat and cholesterol levels. In addition to the 200+ recipes, the book includes a clear discussion of cholesterol, easy guidelines, alternative cholesterol-lowering therapies, and specific meal plans.
Customer Reviews:
Great Gift Idea.......2000-04-10
The recipes include foods that the whole family will enjoy - great for those trying to lower their cholestrol who also have kids. I gave it as a gift to a friend who just had a heart attack at age 40 (better than flowers, and I certainly wouldn't give chocolates) and he enjoyed the recipies so much I'm buying one for myself.
Book Description
Fully revised and updated with hundreds of new dishes, the "American Heart Association Cookbook" proves once again that healthful eating does not mean boring eating! More than 600 kitchen-tested recipes, with a complete nutritional analysis for each!
Customer Reviews:
Not Bad, Could Be Better.......2000-02-11
I wonder of the AHA's use of margarine in this book is influenced by its selling of endorsements to certain manufacturers. It's a mystery why so many recipes would require the use of "acceptable margarine" to saute ingredients, when using a little fat-free broth would accomplish the same thing. Still, there are a lot of excellent recipies in this book, making it worthwhile.
