New Ways to Enjoy Delicious
and Heart Healthy Latino Recipes
Staying healthy can be a challenge, but
simple lifestyle changes can help a lot – like eating healthy and
being physically active. The NHLBI developed this bilingual (English
and Spanish) cookbook to introduce Latino families to a variety of
popular dishes prepared in a heart healthy way. The traditional
Latino cuisine is as varied as the cultural heritage of Latin
America and the Caribbean. The recipes have all the nutrition and
great taste that characterize this rich culinary heritage, but have
less saturated f|a|t, trans f|a|t, cholesterol, sodium, and
calories.
The recently updated recipe book also
provides information on heart healthy food substitutions, food
safety tips, and a glossary of terms including other names in
Spanish. Try new recipes, along with some old favorites, for
everything from daily meals to fiestas and start a tradition of
healthy eating in your family!

Plantain and Meat Casserole on page 18.
