About Me

---

Good day my friends,

I’d like to introduce myself to you. I’m Kevin, thesaltychef. I’m a cook.. who happens to be a chef( I know many "chefs" who do not know how to cook   ;) )   

I have been an Executive Chef for over twenty years now and I’d like to share with you my latest experiences in food and life.

Low Salt.. No Salt.... Low Sodium Meals.

I was introduced to this concept after my mom was diagnosed with AVIB and a weak heart valve, and lymph-edema.

After her last visit to the hospital (she was released on St Patrick’s day; 2020 ) right before the covid-19 thing started here in Fla.… She was required or, they suggested, I should say,  to start a low sodium, low salt diet…to consume no more than 2000 mg  sodium per day....  approx ¾ tsp. of table salt daily (I have always used kosher salt when cooking, it contains a bit less sodium or you can choose Pink Salt .)

Ok, I said, that is no big deal. I’ll cook without salt .... right??? .... what’s the big deal ???

WOW… 

For the past few years of her life, I have been “killing” her with my cooking. 

2000 mg equates to 3/4 tsp. .... yes… Not Even One teaspoon per day. 

Wow… she was eating like (in retrospect) …close to 3000 per day, WITHOUT TAKEOUT.. with takeout (Chinese food) OMG… I don’t want to even think about it….

After sharing my experience with  friends (their loved ones had the same issue or was treading down that path)

All my friends kept asking.....

•  “How did you do it" ???
•  “What do I do" ???
•  “What can she eat” ???
•  “What does this mean on the label” ???
•  “How do you do the math” ???

Another friend then introduced me to the idea of a 'blog’.. Share it with others ??….

Well.. here we are.

I'd like to share my experiences with you on  Low Salt.. No Salt.... Low Sodium . …cooking- for- loved- ones..Diet

 I even found out a way to “treat” your loved ones to that “fast food”... A dish they may love sooo much, but cannot “just eat unwillingly”.

Looking forward to sharing with you and hearing from you .
