I bought this book because someone close to me needed to get his sodium down immediately. I've made several recipes from the book: turkey chilli, chicken tagine, coq au vin, chicken paprika, and several appetizers and desserts. Generally, the recipes are quite good-- guests at your table will not be able to tell the difference. I haven't had as much luck with the desserts, but if you are looking for really good recipes that don't taste like wallpaper paste, this is the book. I really like the extensive appendices of information on how to locate low sodium products and adapt your own recipes. I definitely recommend this. I did have to buy quite a collection of spices and cooking wines to flavor food, but now that I have all that, most recipes are easy to put together. Warning: when she says spicy, she means it! She has a tongue of steel. I've learned to back off the cayenne and Tabasco in her recipes.
