Womenheart's All Heart Family Cookbook: Featuring the 40 Foods Proven to Promote Heart Health

Developed by WomenHeart, the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease, this outstanding cookbook is the organization’s effort to raise awareness that having heart disease, or a family history of heart disease, doesn’t mean you have no control of your heart health. In fact, with the right lifestyle and diet, heart disease is often preventable—and this book shows you how--in a very tasty way. Unlike so many books today that tell us what not to eat, here is one that shows how to protect our hearts and enhance our health by adding delicious foods to our life, not taking them away. The focus is on 40 key foods that have been scientifically proven to help protect the heart and prevent heart disease, and the 175 dishes—which range from Grilled Shrimp with Mango Salsa to Linguine with Walnut Pesto—all feature three or more of these foods as significant ingredients.



From apples and avocados to chocolate and cranberries, from salmon and sweet potatoes to wine to whole wheat, these are foods that can easily and realistically be incorporated into daily meals for the whole family. Not a difficult gourmet cookbook calling for exotic ingredients and tricky cooking techniques, this is instead a prescription for a healthy life full of recipes as welcoming and comforting as a family supper.
