Sample Recipe: Mandarin Orange, Arugula, and Almond Salad

INGREDIENTS: 1 (10-ounce) can mandarin oranges in their own juice (no syrup or added sugar) 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar 1/2 (7-ounce) bag prewashed arugula 1/4 cup unsalted toasted sliced or slivered almonds Freshly ground black pepper

Serves 4 // Vegan // Budget-Friendly // Time-Saver // Prep Time: 10 Minutes // Cook Time: 30 Minutes

This salad comes together in minutes. Arugula is one of my favorite high-potassium leafy greens and is among the most important vegetables to include in your daily diet to support a healthy blood pressure.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Drain the mandarin oranges, saving 4 1/2 tablespoons of juice.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and the juice to make the dressing.

3. In a large salad bowl, toss together the arugula, drained oranges, and almonds. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of dressing.

Title: Fantastic, healthy recipes! You won’t miss the salt!
Review: If you or someone you love has elevated blood pressure, you need this book. As a registered dietitian nutritionist and board-certified health and wellness coach, Kim Larson could not be more qualified. But more importantly, as an avid and experienced cook, I can say that these recipes are healthy, delicious AND beautiful. With this book, you will learn how to cook and enjoy food without salt while improving your health.I’ve tried many of Kim Larson’s recipes over the past three months and I’m so impressed. The Homemade Muesli is easy to make and tastes fantastic. I eat it every morning now as it’s super satisfying and keeps you feeling full for hours. The nuts and seeds are great for brain health. I loved the White Bean and Cabbage Soup. The Sesame, Tofu and Bok Choy Stir-Fry is one of my favorites. Just imagine, a delicious stir-fry with no sodium! Two Bean Cocoa Chili is unique and delicious. I’ve made the Bean-Chilada Casserole many times as it has become a favorite. Other dishes that were great: Protein Pasta Pronto, Fiesta Taco Bowl, Sweet Potato and Egg Hash with Shaved Brussels Sprouts, Maple Spice Chicken with Vegetables, White Wine Chicken Scampi, Chicken Curry in a Hurry, Beef and Vegetable Ragu over Polenta, Balsamic Beef-and-Vegetable Kebabs (amazing!) and Grilled Caribbean Flank Steak with Cilantro-Coconut Rice. I can honestly say that I didn’t miss the salt in any of these recipes.Joan Betterley, retired Registered Dietitian, author of Good Food Afloat.

Title: A starting point only
Review: Ditch the salt shaker, buy low-sodium canned products, and use hot spices and hot peppers liberally. That's pretty much the message of this book. I think the recipes might appeal to people who are used to cooking high-fat, high-sodium meals but need to transition to healthier meals. These recipes follow the DASH diet -- Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension.Changing cooking methods is a big sticking point for cooks who have prepared meals the same way for decades, and this book could provide a good mid-point along the way to a more Mediterranean kind of diet. But for me, there aren't enough fresh or interesting ingredients to make these recipes appealing. Where are the Brussels sprouts and bok choy and snap peas that make vegetable dishes so yummy? I don't like hot peppers and spices, and too many recipes in this book rely on them instead of on new ingredients and cooking methods.I've long ago ditched the salt shaker, except when it comes to making soup stocks and, okay, mashed potatoes. My plates are populated mostly by salads and fresh vegetables, along with the small sizes of proteins suggested in these recipes, and I have no blood pressure problems. If you need a road map, this might make a good starting point. But I wouldn't stop here if you really want to lower your blood pressure.

Title: Options within reason
Review: As one gets older, there's a variety of health flags to keep an eye on. High blood pressure is one of them whether formally diagnosed or not. It was with that in mind that I selected "Reducing High Blood Pressure for Beginners: A Cookbook for Eating and Living Well" by Kim Larson RDN NBC-HWC.As with other Rockridge Press cookbooks, there aren't a lot of pictures so if you like a lot of pictures with your cookbook, this may not be the one. However, while I am one of those readers who does like lot of food pictures in cookbooks, I am okay with not having many in this particular one. The recipes are easy to follow with reasonable ingredient lists. It also has the nutritional breakdown for each recipe and that's what I want the most in a cookbook like this.As to the contents of this book, Part One is about the basics of high blood and the changes it can bring as well as planning. Part Two is the recipes that are organized in as breakfast, soups/salads/sides, meatless dishes, etc. until it ends at sauces and dressings. I thought it would be organized by breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks but this organization is well done and I like that sauces and dressings gets it own section.I haven't tried every recipe. I skip seafood because I can be sensitive to it, but there's more to try. I am surprised that for what I've tried so far, my favorite is the "Rainbow Corn and Bean Salad". It reminds me of a dish that I had years ago that surprised me because I didn't generally like beans and that dish changed my mind and this recipe brought back those memories.There are also other recipes that I enjoyed as well. As with any cookbook, there will some that are liked and some that are okay, but what I appreciate it that the author keeps each recipe straightforward enough that it can be tweaked as needed.I found this cookbook to be useful for the information in Part One but also hopeful for the recipes in Part Two. Nice presentation with food options that are well within reason.
