The Heart of Cooking by Dwithiya K. Thomas
This not-so-typical cookbook was written by Dwithiya K. Thomas, MD, FACC, cardiologist at St. Luke’s University Health Network and the medical director of St. Luke’s Women’s Heart Center. The Heart of Cooking is filled with health-conscious recipes, concentrating on heart health.
The recipes are designed to aid Thomas’s own patients living with heart disease, along with anyone who is hoping to reduce the risk of it. The book is broken up into chapters that focus on differing dietary restrictions that Thomas suggests to her patients. This cookbook can help keep readers on top of their doctors’ orders and their own health. From vegetarians to those living with diabetes, the recipes can benefit people following a variety of diets. There are even a few sweet-tooth cures sprinkled throughout, and recipes to please the pickiest of kids.
