Can somebody assist me with some cholesterol lowering foods?

My husband is facing a health problem of high blood pressure and the doctor has suggested low fat and low cholesterol diet for him. I am a health conscious person myself, and I cook for my family keeping in mind the nutritional values of the recipes. Nonetheless, I can’t be watchful on his eating habits once he is out at work, therefore, I need help from some expert regarding few cholesterol lowering foods which can be healthy and tasty for my food-lover husband? Thanks.
