'I was very impressed with the content of this book. The practical chapters I found very informative, and perhaps more importantly, easy to follow.' Laurence Spicer, London 'I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this ... the recipes especially suit those who work, where I have found recipes in other books take too long. The language is straightforward and understandable for those new to kidney disease and those who are more knowledgeable.'
