The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen, Second Edition

This new and revised edition of the IACP award-winning cookbook brings the

healing power of delicious, nutritious foods to those whose hearts and bodies

crave a revitalizing meal, through 150 new and updated recipes. Featuring science-based, nutrient-rich recipes that are easy to prepare and designed to give

patients a much-needed boost by stimulating appetite and addressing treatment

side effects including fatigue, nausea, dehydration, mouth and throat soreness,

tastebud changes, and weight loss. A step-by-step guide helps patients

nutritionally prepare for all phases of treatment, and a full nutritional analysis

accompanies each recipe. This remarkable resource teaches patients and

caregivers how to use readily available powerhouse ingredients to build a

symptom- and cancer-fighting culinary toolkit. Blending fantastic taste and

meticulous science, these recipes for soups, vegetable dishes, proteins, and sweet

and savory snacks are rich in the nutrients, minerals, and phytochemicals that help

patients thrive during treatment.

This second edition also includes a dozen new recipes--many of which are simpler and less complicated, for cancer patients to prepare on their low days--as well as a list of cancer-fighting foods that can be incorporated into everyday life without stepping behind the stove. Rebecca has also revised the text with the most up-to-date scientific research and includes a section on how friends and family can build a culinary support team."
