""Ms. Whelan has produced a modern and noteworthy addition to publications providing diet and menu information for patients with various levels of kidney dysfunction. The recipes described are exceptional since they are appetizing, affordable, avoid repetition, and can be prepared efficiently with limited time commitment. Renal patients will benefit greatly by acquiring the information made available.""--Michael F. Michelis, MD served as Director of the Nephrology Division, Lenox Hill Hospital, New York City for more than 40 years ""This is THE resource that chronic kidney disease patients and their healthcare providers have been waiting for! Each dietary issue is explained in easy-to-understand terms, allowing people to tailor these recipes to their individual medical needs and tastes. In addition, this is the first book I have seen that helps clarify to patients suffering from both diabetes and kidney disease how to optimize their diet for both conditions. I will definitely recommend this book to my patients with renal disease and their caregivers, helping them to feel empowered to do just that.""--Dr. Valerie Barta, MD, Nephrologist
