This is a very helpful book.

This book was recommended to me by an oncologist, and I found it was very helpful. There are recipes devoted to foods easier to eat for patients who have side effects from chemotherapy. Some very delicious soups, smoothees, etc. This cookbook shows that nutritious recipes can taste very good.

Good Information and Good Food, Too!

This book has very helpful information for Cancer patients going through Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments. Everyone can benefit from this information. The recipes are Excellent and easy. I like the fact that nutritional information is given and and that hints are given on how to increase the calorie intake when needed. I wish I had seen this book when I was in treatment. I use and love the recipes now!
