This is a great first bread book as so many things are explained as you go through the steps. Pumpkin items sound great for this time of year as they are becoming ripe in the garden.

Some recipes contain other nutritional information, looks like whole format of these is from a different source.
I think having this amount of recipes in a book you collect the recipes from many other sources, it's not always on target for the diet and lifestyle.
Beans, why would you use them from a can when they contain so MUCH sodium? soak them overnight and cook the next day. Same with can of tomatoes, dice them fresh, NOT from a sodium filled can.
Appendix includes conversion tables, dirty dozen chart along with clean 15. Alphabetical index of recipes are also included.
Author requests a review at the end. Don't care for deep fyring items either, NOT allowed in this diet.
