"Jessica Goldman Foung is a role model for the kidney community and anyone with a chronic illness. Instead of getting depressed when Jessica got her diagnosis, she got busy. Learning to cook and making low-sodium dishes tasty wasn't easy, but she took it up as a challenge. Her positive can-do attitude shows those with kidney disease, their families, and the professionals who care for them that they are people first and patients second. Jessica understands that learning as much as you can about the condition and special diet ultimately puts you in the driver's seat and in control of your own health. Her book is breezy and fun to read with mouthwatering recipes that give everyone a taste of what's possible when you believe that healthy can be delicious too."
