Easy to Swallow Cookbook

Great recipes that I enjoy as well as my husband who had oral cancer and little saliva to swallow.

great resource

This book is an excellent reference and resource book that I share with my patients who have swallowing difficulties. Several of them have gone ahead and ordered the book themselves! Great recipes with a lot of variety.

outstanding

This book is great. My husband has throat cancer, and was having trouble eating, expecially with the treatments. This book is a lifesaver. I have tried four recipes, and they were all delicious, I would use this book, even if my husband didn't have a problem swallowing. Thank you again for writing this book.

More than a cookbook

Very pleased with this book. Not only does it have tasty, easy to prepare recipes but the information contained in Part One should be compulsory reading for all involved with any friend or loved one who has a problem with swallowing as a result of certain medical conditions.Also the nutritional information given at the bottom of each recipe is particularly helpful when counting calories to maintain/gain weight.

This book has some great tips

This book has great tips for cooking for someone with dysphagia. I highly recommend it.
