Granted, I simply CANNOT handle his no salt added recipes. No offense, but they are not tasty in the slightest without salt. So I add my salt at the end of cooking for his recipes and found them to be much tastier. I also do not care to do a no salt diet. If having added salt means I shave a few years off of my life, then I am at peace with that...
Jeff Novick wrote:The reason my cooking DVD doesn’t use sugar or salt is for the same reason we try to make many of the dishes at the program without adding salt and/or sugar to the recipe. This is because the majority of the added salt & sugar in the typical diet is added by the manufacturer in packaged and prepared products and the best way to keep intake of both to a reasonable & safe level is to avoid it as much as possible in packaged products and in prepared foods. Then, one can safely add it at the table without overdoing it.
You may also want to check out my label reading guidelines and my thread on salt where all of these points (and more) are explained in detail.
