"Feast To Your Soul's De­
light" i published by the Sodium

Program of the ational Urban
League and the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration. Urgan
League affiliates in Columbus,
Ohio, Dallas, Pitt burgh, Rich­
mond and Springfield, Illinoi
contributed to the cookbook.
The low-sodium recipes in the
cookbook are for people who,
for one reason or another want
to reduce their salt intake.
Because Blac Americans suffer
high blood pr ure (also called
hypertension) at twice the rate
of white Am ricans, the cook-
• book could be of great benefit
to them.
In addition to low-sodium
recipe for beef, pork, poultry,
fish, vegtables and pasta, the
cookbook includes a glo
of cooking term, recip for
appetizers and breads, and even
a recipe for a salt substitute
made of everal herb and
pice .
Prepared the traditional way
many of the dishes in "Feast
To Your Soul's Delight" have a
much higher odium content.
For example, pudding and meat
loaf recipe that follow normally
required added salt. But with
the slight variations suggested
by the book, they are afer
for tho . on a low- a1t diet,
still promising to be quite
tasty.
