Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Martha I think it's a great idea. Good luck with your endeavor. I've found a few renal cookbooks but they tend to be small and don't have much in the way of vegetarian fare in them so I've been altering my favorite recipes to make them more renal friendly. I'd be happy to send you some of them if you would like. Amy cookbook > I was talking to my pyhical therpyist today and he agrees that there > should be a renal cookbook. So I am going to write one.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 All the renal diet cookbook I have a pretty much zero vegetarian content. That's one reason I don't use them much, since I've never been into fancy meat dishes. If I could only eat beans, I would be happy. I wish there was a way of pre-soaking them the way we do for potatoes (takes 50% of the potassium out). Too much potassium and/or phosphorus is the single biggest downside, diet-wise, to having kidney failure, as far as I'm concerned. Other than that, the diet wouldn't be too bad at all.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Instead of pre-soaking beans you can boil them for a few hours and get pretty much the same thing as pre-soaking the package should have instrutions for it. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 What.... you can do that with potatoes.... and it cuts the potassium... No way. Damn why didnt anyone tell me that before the surgery. I just avoided potatoes and broccoli as a whole. Now they want me to eat more foods with phosphous and potassium go figure... Nothing beats a potator buffet. Boil em mash em put em in a stew.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 As far as I know, it only works with potatoes. Cutting them in small, thin pieces and soaking for 3 or 4 hours leaches out half the potassium. So, when they are cooked and mashed, for example, a person who has to watch potassium can eat a normal-sized portion. I have no knowledge that this works with any other types of vegetables. But it's sure helpful to be able to have potatoes. They could even be fried, if you don't mind eating French fries without salt on them. To me, fries have always just been an excuse to eat grease mixed with salt and vinegar Pierre Re: cookbook > What.... you can do that with potatoes.... and it cuts the > potassium...
