Betty Crocker Cookbook Heart Health Edition

Wiley Publishing, $29.95

Heart disease is now the leading cause of death for American women. In fact, six times more women die from heart disease than breast cancer, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. In its new “Heart Health” edition, Betty Crocker is supporting the WomenHeart initiative to help raise awareness of heart disease risk factors and encourage heart-healthy habits. The book includes a section of information about heart health, family recipes that are low in fat and calories and an index of other recipes in the book that are good for those concerned about heart disease.
