Clare Shaw: Cookbook for Cancer Patients
This cookbook is not about traditional dieting and the causes of cancer. In two major chapters ('Under Treatment' and 'After Treatment'), it offers over 150 nourishing, tasty, and healthy dishes, as well as tips for not only patients but the whole family. Within the major chapters, it provides recipes for breakfasts, light meals, main courses, desserts, as well as snacks and nutritious drinks.
In the informative introduction, you can read useful information about essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, dietary fibers - and about vegetables and fruits containing these nutrients -, as well as about various cancer treatment methods, such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy.
The recipes in the book were professionally reviewed and put together by Dr. Clare Shaw PhD RD, an oncology dietitian consultant at The Royal Marsden Hospital in the UK, with the aim of making cooking easy, enjoyable, and stress-free for patients and their caregivers - saving time, money, and energy during the toughest times.
Some of the published recipes come from renowned celebrity chefs such as Mary Berry, Nigella Lawson, Ruth Rogers, Rick Stein, and one recipe is credited to the world-famous actress, Gwyneth Paltrow.
