Good food is one of life’s great joys. And good meals are a

shared pleasure at the heart of African American family life

and special celebrations. This recipe book brings together

many African American favorite recipes, prepared heart-healthy, lower in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium! It

shows how to prepare dishes in ways that help protect you and

your family from heart disease and stroke. This is important

because heart disease and stroke are the first and the third

leading cause of death for African Americans. By making

small changes in the way you and your family eat, you can

help reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke.
