Cafe Ludwig does not serve any coffee, much less meals, however, it seems like the right place to document my efforts at low-sodium food. It culminated with Christmas 2023 dinner. I tried to adapt our customary recipes to cut out most of the salt. Some items come out rather well, others are acceptable. Below are links to recipes and shopping information. These will be updated as time goes by.
More recently other requirements were added in hospital stays – easy to chew, easy to swallow. That necessitated changes to my fare. Those recipes are identified with “ETC-ETS”.

Shopping for Low Salt Ingredients
Much of what you find at grocery stores contains way too much salt. There are, however, many items that are low in sodium or have no salt added. These items are typically mixed in with other similar items. You may have to search carefully. Here are links to lists of such items.
