Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Place the garlic on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and fold the foil into a little packet. Place the packet in a pie plate and roast the garlic for about 20 minutes or until very soft.
3. Remove the garlic from the oven; set aside to cool.
4. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Saute the onion for about 4 minutes or until soft. Add the watercress and parsley; saute 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the water and roasted garlic pulp. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
6. Simmer the soup for about 20 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
7. Cool the soup for about 5 minutes, then puree in batches in a food processor (or use a large bowl and a handheld immersion blender), along with the heavy cream.
8. Transfer the soup to the pot, and set over low heat until warmed through.
9. Add the lemon juice and season with pepper.

Renal diets don’t have to be boring!
I purchased this book when my a family member was diagnosed with kidney failure and began dialysis. We knew nothing about a renal diet and this book is a must-have. The recipes are super easy and short with few ingredients and no complicated directions. Our family member had not done much cooking so it was very much appreciated. Each recipe includes number of calories and amounts of potassium, phosphorous, protein, sodium, fat, etc. The book starts out with clear and concise information regarding what bodily function each nutrient is needed for and the approximate range a person on dialysis should stay within which was extremely helpful. The book also includes a 28 day menu plan for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as snacks. The menus use the recipes in the book and include shopping lists for each week. For each day if you use the recipes and/or menus you just have to add the amounts listed at the end of the recipes to calculate the levels for each nutrient. There are even a number of seasoning mixes you can put together and have available for delicious and gourmet tasting culinary delights. So simple, yet very inexpensive!

This book contains some fine recipes and strategies for eating
As a renal patient I’m constantly reminding myself to avoid phosphorus, sodium, potassium flare ups on my monthly blood test. I’ve struggled with phosphorus, but passed the last two blood tests once I started writing down everything I ate, and recording my intake of binders. This book contains some fine recipes and strategies for eating, but I avoid some of the foods the use. Shrimp, for example, is high phosphorus. I love it, but I avoid it. It’s the same with cheese and beans. They used to be favorite foods, but now they’re off my personal menu. I love soup, and can’t wait to try some of her suggestions. The commercial stuff is too loaded with sodium. In any event, even though I’m not a foodie, I think this book is well worth the money. The biggest part of adapting to dialysis is the diet, and this book can help you avoid eating yourself to death.

Contains a Lot of Good Information
I had no idea that such products as Ener-g Baking Powder and Ener-g Baking Soda existed which are so useful to CKD patients. I found a few good recipes. There are food charts that help one to balance phosphorus and potassium in the diet and in cooking. It doesn’t stop here. You can then adapt your own cooking and favorite recipes based on the information provided. Food doesn’t have to be bland. I’ve read several books for renal diets and some were very contradictory and confusing. This book was very helpful and I highly recommend it.

This is a very good resource for planning diet for patients suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) or renal impairment. While it is written primarily for a western audience, with some application of mind and some modifications you can adapt the same here in India. The point is to follow the underlying logic of planning your diet for any CKD patient or any suffering from renal impairment. It can make the patient’s life much better compared to being put on renal supplements commonly available in drugstores.
