Renal Diet Cookbook For Beginners: 1500+ Days of Tasty Recipes For Every Stage of Kidney Disease. Low Sodium, Low Potassium and Low Phosphorus Meals. 35-Day Easy Meal Plan Included

I prepare food for my mom who has pretty severe kidney disease, and we are always on the look out for new renal diet recipes. Thia book was really well done. There is a 5 week meal plan which I love! That is a ton of work done for you so I can just shop and prepare, no planning needed. Then I especially appreciated how each recipe also indicated up front if it is vegetarian or diabetes friendly. That was so helpful. Since my dad has diabetes I can see at a quick glance which dishes will work for both of them. Overall, I am very happy with this book and would recommend.

Book very helpful Has a lot of good information as well as good recipes

I just got the book, and found it very useful on describing good/bad foods to eat for damaged kidneys. I think it would be helpful on the Easy 5-week Meal Plans if the page numbers for the recipes were included for fast reference, but I can write them in. I think this cookbook will be helpful.

This book has an easy to understand intro but there is nothing about the author to know what her credentials are. Page after page there are many errors. Words are repeated on the same sentence, items (such as beetroots) appear on the what to avoid AND the what to eat list. The menu is quite protein heavy. The first day suggests egg for breakfast, chicken for lunch, and fish for dinner, which would exceed the amount of protein someone with CKD should eat in a day. The first recipe is a bacon and egg tortilla, when bacon is not a CKD friendly ingredient as it’s red meat and mostly processed. The recipe for Delicious Vegetarian Lasagna includes tofu in the directions but it’s nowhere on the ingredient list. Other recipes (onion soup) include ingredients such as beef bouillon and chicken stock, both of which we are told to avoid earlier in the book. The beef brochettes recipe suggests 1 whole pound of beef per serving, which is too much protein in a day. There is a general lack of simple clean foods in this book and also a lack of emphasis on the importance of eating salads and vegetables. I would combine this book with knowledge from other sources in order to know what is best to reduce the progression of CKD.

This cookbook contains not only kidney-healthy recipes but excellent information to better understand chronic kidney disease and how what we eat can affect it. The recipes are tasty and relatively simple (you don’t need to be Julia Child to cook these).

Over 200 recipes to help you keep yoir kidneys in good health. I have tried 10 recipes out of this book so far as it has not disappointed, yet. The meals are simple, Quick and easy. They are easy to tweak to your own taste while still keeping the most important components in and keeping the meal kidney happy and healthy.

A great starter to begin learning about the renal diet.

He book a lot different recipes that make cooking enjoyable.

The recipes are varied and sound delicious can’t wait to try most of them. Happy to have the helpful nutrition label on each recipe

This is a great recipe book, however, I wish someone would come up with one that covers diabetes, kidney stones and chronic kidney disease given that they are all related to each other.

I liked the many recipes for kidney desease, and so many recipes to chose from.
