I really enjoyed the details on how key ingredients will affect renal function and overall nutrition. The writing style is conversational and easy to understand -- not overly complicated.

Tasty foods that the whole family can actually enjoy

I have been following the doc on YouTube, and don't usually buy cookbooks. The doc has a really down to earth, easy to understand writing style and his recipes are basic tasty foods that the whole family can actually enjoy… His advice is sound. Good investment.
