Introduction to DASH Diet with recipes
The Everything DASH Diet Meal Prep Cookbook by Karman Meyer RD 200 Easy Make-Ahead Recipes Written by a registered dietician, this book introduces the DASH Diet to those that may not have heard of it before. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension information has been around for several years and is not new to me and thought that perhaps this book would have ideas I could incorporate into my menus. Living overseas in a small village in Lebanon, I should probably have known better because many ingredients are not available or prohibitively expensive making the recipes in this book sometimes difficult. Also, having gone predominately vegetarian/vegan, I did not find many recipes that would help me eating as I am now. The book provides visual access by color to information that may be of interest to the reader – - GREEN – answer to common question - BLUE - fact - YELLOW – essential information - RED – an alert Chapters include the explanation of DASH, meal prepping basics then recipes for meal prep staples, breakfast, salads and sides, beef and pork, chicken and turkey, seafood, vegan-vegetarian, freezer meals, snacks, desserts, beverages and smoothies followed by a two week suggested menu. The information is easy to understand, the recipes varied, nutritional information for each recipe is included, and I believe this book will be helpful to those interested in reducing hypertension through diet. Thank you to NetGalley and Adams Media for the ARC – this is my honest review. 3-4 Stars

Good place to start
I thought this a good place to start for those looking to get onto the DASH diet bandwagon. There is a lot of good information in the beginning about what the DASH diet is (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), and how to do this through diet. Yes, like all DASH diet books, the biggie is to cut salt and increase healthy eating of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, etc. In this one, the author recommends doing meal prepping ahead so when you’re hungry or too tired to cook, you can grab something from the fridge or freezer, like soups, stews, and ingredients for “bowls”. The author gives tips on portion control, shopping, and storage as well as a suggested two-week meal plan. Each recipe contains servings, notes/tips, nutrients, ingredients and some even have techniques like how to spatchcock a chicken. Most of the ingredients are easily found, but some may not be for smaller grocery stores and could be expensive for some people. But overall, good recipes, more than a few of which I’m going to be trying out. Recommended. Disclosure of Material: I received a final and/or advanced reader copy of this book with the hope that I will leave my unbiased opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… My Opinions.
