The Renal Diet Cookbook for Beginners: The Complete Guide to Managing Kidney Disease and Avoiding Dialysis

People who have kidney disease usually need to follow a restricted diet to help control their blood chemical and fluid levels. This can make it feel difficult to find tasty everyday meals and recipes for you and your family. This book helps to get the balance right between enjoying your food and making the necessary changes to your diet. This book was written for kidney patients for more practical advice (including easy recipes and meal ideas) about the food they could eat. The book contains recipes to suit African, Caribbean and Asian tastes as well as some British favourites. The wide range of recipes gives you the opportunity to try a familiar dish and perhaps something new. Most of the recipes are quick and easy to prepare with ingredients that are readily available and not too expensive. Suitable serving suggestions are given for most of the recipes. There is a practical information section which includes snack and meal ideas, hints and tips for eating out and ideas on how to create tasty dishes without salt. We hope you find this book, which has been written 'for patients by patients', a useful guide and that you enjoy both creating and eating these tasty dishes.
