The Road to a Healthy Heart Runs through the Kitchen Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like Joe Piscatella because he explains things in an easy to understand, clear manner. He is very health concious himself, because when he was 32, he had triple bypass surgery. He was on the tennis court on a Monday and then the Wednesday on the operating table. This completely changed him and his life and learned everything he could to help himself beat the odds.
He talks here in laymans terms to explain why we should avoid butter and use soft margarine. Why to avoid white bread and use wholewheat or multigrain instead. Why to eat fresh fish and why you can (only from time to time) fry foods if they are done in a non-stick pan with olive oil. He says that there should be no sodas because he believes that's why we are primarily overweight.
He says we think too much about foods we can't eat and don't think about those that we can eat and he says there are plenty we can eat. Beautiful coloured fruits and vegetables because they have anti oxidents and help prevent heart disease and cancers and these foods should be the center of how we eat.
Anyway, if I go on, you may not need to read this book, but I will say that apart from all the good information in here that I've mentioned, it also has really nice recipes that are easy to follow. The classic pasta salad recipe and the cranberry crisp are two that I've tried and loved. I can't wait to try more because it's showed me that there are healthy foods out there that can taste great (Now if only I could give up Coca Cola!!!). Highly recommended book.
