cooking with cardiologist 7

The Cooking Cardiologist compiled by Dr. Richard Collins and published by the South Denver Heart Center is reported to be a collection of heart-healthy recipes that claim to indicate elaborate nutrition label, cooking-techniques, diabetic exchange and heart treat to the heart patients.

Contents of the cookbook reveal healthy appetizers like hot artichoke and Parmesan cheese dip, buffalo BBQ meatballs, berry and chicken salads, smoothies, heart-healthy jambalaya and other ethnic foods, chocolate torte, guiltless potato chips and much more.

However, The Cooking Cardiologist has got mixed reviews in lacking technicalities and pictures, but facts claim that the whole concept of Collin’s cooking in changing the condition of heart with diet and lifestyle gains prominence in the cookbook. It is quite evident from the ingredients used as healthy substitutions that the cookbook gives importance to foods that has healing properties and maintains a wonderful balance between nutrition and flavour.

Recipes like crisp oatmeal cookies that use a quarter of trans-fat free canola oil; black soybeans in place of flour in chocolate torte and cranberries instead of raisins, are few evidences of heart-healthy substitutes. In the arena of low-fat cooking and many dietary cookbooks, this cookbook with recipes from cardiologists themselves certifies authenticity.

If every health-related research based on food products is backed by practical applications by the researchers themselves then it will be easier to turn the face of obesity crisis in America. No matter what the technical deficiencies may be, what matters is that cardiac patients are getting palatable treats straight from the cardiologists.
