Product Description
After 30 years of providing counseling and support for people living with cancer, the Cancer Lifeline organization knows that one of the main areas of interest for patients and their families is food and nutrition. What foods have been shown to help prevent the spread of cancer? What are the nutritional "rules" for people with cancer? In answer, this new edition of the organization's cookbook presents up-to-date nutritional information (including the Top Ten Super Foods that may protect and fight against cancer) along with practical strategies for making healthy eating a daily practice and suggestions for reducing the side effects of treatment. It features 100 easy-to-make recipes from the nation's top chefs and from cancer patients and survivors, including Blueberry Breakfast Cake, Honey-Glazed Green Beans with Almonds, and Citrus Chicken. These resources and more make this book a natural choice for cancer survivors, people living with cancer, caregivers, and those interested in a health-conscious diet.

The not just for cancer cookbook
Rating  (4)
Date: 2010-08-21
this book offers healthy dishes for cancer patients. The helpful information on the value of the certain foods for specific ailments offers comfort when preparing for a cancer patient. I can't help noticing that these well-balanced offerings can be good for anyone, especially if gaining or losing weight is an objective. So I'm pleased to have this cookbook to help out my friend, and it may benefit my chubby self as well.

I've bought multiple copies of this, first for myself (spouse is a cancer patient) and then for friends who have cancer or cook for a patient. Great photos make the food look wonderful. Good recipes, good tips. My only hesitation is that you can't get all the ingredients in our small town grocery stores.
The sweet potato fries alone are worth the price of the book at the "used" price - all of mine have been less than half the marked price and only one was actually used, lightly.

I purchased this cookbook because I was recently diagnosed with a pre-cancerous condition. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that every recipe in this cookbook that I've tried so far has been delicious and very easy to prepare. The highlights tried so far: Blueberry Breakfast Cake, Banana Bran Muffins, Baked Sweet Potato Fries, Spicy Miso Peanut Noodles, Cottage-Style Mac and Cheese. Looking forward to trying Thai Chicken Soup and Cool as a Cucumber Dressing. All the recipes are chock full of anti-oxidant foods and are prepared with optimum nutrition in mind. I used to equate healthy eating with bland food, but not any more!
