The Meals to Heal Cookbook: 150 Easy Nutritionally Balanced Recipes to Nourish You During Your Fight with Cancer by Susan Bratton and Jessica Iannotta

 

Blurb:

From the founder and the chief operating officer of Meals to Heal (a company that provides vetted nutritional information and prepared meals delivery to cancer patients and their families): 150 nutritionally balanced recipes created with an eye toward the special needs of cancer patients (e.g. mouth sores, nausea, and difficulty swallowing) who often suffer from malnutrition.

Nutrition is a vital component of anyone’s fight against cancer, but loss of appetite and side effects of treatment can make even the simple act of eating a challenge.Written to meet the unique needs of cancer patients and caregivers, The Meals to Heal Cookbook offers 150 recipes to make eating less stressful, more convenient, and simply more enjoyable. Created by oncology-credentialed registered dietitians, these delicious, nourishing, easy-to-prepare dishes are full of the nutrients you need to maintain strength during treatment. Loaded with essential nutrition info and recipes coded by common symptoms and side effects (including fatigue, nausea, digestive issues, mouth sores, taste and smell aversion, and others).  

I loved this book. I read and reviewed this for my personal blog and also shared a great recipe from it: Parchment Paper Steamed Fish and Vegetables.

My summary, "If you are on a cancer treatment path that includes chemo, then this is the perfect book to have in the kitchen. No empty promises for an easy ride through treatment (because there isn’t one), just real world, wholesome recipes that provide nutrients making you stronger - and presented in a way that tackles your side effects and manages your symptoms. Highly recommended read." Read the review below.
