In 1977 Joe Piscatella received the news no one ever wants to hear -- he had heart disease and needed coronary bypass surgery. He was 32 years old and his doctors predicted that he would probably not live to see his two young children graduate from high school. It's been 26 years since Joe's heart surgery. This year he and his wife, Bernie, celebrated by hiking on Mt. Rainier. Joe says today: "I could not have climbed from an operating table to a mountain top without changing my dietary lifestyle. And I could not have changed my dietary lifestyle without the recipes in this book." By learning how to eat right, day in and day out, at parties, over holidays and at every occasion imaginable, Joe Piscatella is living proof that good food and good health go together.
