Review:

I was very impressed with the content of this book. The practical chapters I found very informative, and perhaps more importantly, easy to follow --Laurence Spicer, London

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this . . . the recipes especially suit those who work, where I have found recipes in other books take too long. The language is straightforward and understandable for those new to kidney disease and those who are more knowledgeable. --George Hartley, Chief Renal Dietitian,

I found the book very readable and I expect it to help meet patients' educational needs. It has been thoughtfully put together and contains some very useful information. --Louise Wells, Renal Dietetic Clinical Specialist,
