Editorial Reviews

My colleague, Edith Yang, did a wonderful job in simplifying the complexity of chronic kidney disease nutritional needs in this book. As a nephrology nurse practitioner, it is important to me that my patients work with a registered dietician who can guide them in making the right choices and options in their diet plan according to the five stages of chronic kidney disease. Not only are these recipes meeting the CKD nutritional needs, but they also give readers creative, delicious, and enjoyable meals to optimize their health. I am beyond happy to recommend this cookbook to all my patients.” —Mary Tu, MSN, NP-BC, nephrology specialty

“Edith Yang has created a remarkably helpful guide for those with CKD and their caregivers! Not only are Edith's recipes delicious and approachable, but her expert tips will help you build your knowledge of kidney disease, make informed decisions about your diet, and ease your worries.” —Lizzie Streit, MS, RDN, LD, author of Vegetable Cookbook for Vegetarians and A Complete Guide to Natural Vitamins

“Facts without fear! Tasty meals without deprivation! This book helps you cook with confidence despite a CKD diagnosis. With these amazing recipes, not only will you feel good about your choices, but it could help your entire family! As a dietitian focused on helping others with anti-inflammatory diets for 20+ years, this book provides practical, realistic advice for anybody fighting chronic inflammation!” —Jan Patenaude, RDN, CLT, coauthor of the Certified LEAP Therapist training

“Finally, a CKD book that addresses real patient questions and challenges. It's not just a list of dos and don'ts; instead, it teaches a mindset for success. Thank you, Edith, for crafting such a wonderful resource!” —Sevag Balikian, MD, board certified in nephrology

“As people with more advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) have certain restrictions on their diet, finding CKD-healthy yet palatable meals is extraordinarily challenging. This book is an excellent resource for those with CKD who are trying to expand their dietary choices, and Edith's experience as a renal dietitian shines through in these recipes.” —Dr. Justin Chen, nephrologist

“This book simplifies CKD in a way that is easy to read and for patients to understand. It has great simple recipes that are easy to follow for those of all cooking levels and stages of CKD. I've worked with Edith for many years with those with kidney disease and appreciate how she personalizes every patient's nutrition plan. I highly recommend this book to every CKD patient!” —Dr. S. Gill, MD, nephrologist
