The Cancer Diet Cookbook: Comforting Recipes for Treatment and Recovery

I ordered this cookbook because my son has been battling a chronic illness and right now with winter approaching I wanted to bolster my families immune system as we head into cold and flu season along with COVID-19. I am always looking for recipes that are nutritious and delicious. My youngest son has been battling chronic illness for years and food is way for me to nourish him. I love that this cookbook tells me what foods can be inflammatory and which ones are good at helping with nausea. No one in our house has cancer thankfully. This cookbook is wonderful for anyone who is looking for great recipes that are packed with nutrient rich foods. I would give it more stars if I could. I have made the bone broth that makes my house smell like Thanksgiving day and is like liquid gold. My boys will eat anything if I add some bone broth to it. I have tried the Herb Citrus Marinade on chicken and it was a hit. My family came back for seconds. I also tried the Baked Oatmeal Recipe and it is so fantastic! I cannot wait to make more. I have purchased cookbooks in the past and have only used a handful of the recipes, as I look through this I know that I will be using the entire cookbook. It is not filled with anything that is too daunting to cook or ingredients that are too hard to find. I cannot say enough great things about this cookbook. A must have for anyone looking to cook delicious food that is nutrient packed. A great gift for your favorite cook!!

This book was a life-saver as my husband battled head & neck cancer with chemo-radiation. The recipes were first & foremost delicious; she also highlighted what each recipe helped (nausea, unintentional weight loss, taste changes, etc). The intro was several pages long and was full of helpful background info and advice from someone who has walked this journey. Nothing I’ve read during this even remotely prepared me for the hell of walking this journey with a loved one, but this book has been sitting out for the past 3 months because I use it daily! The throat elixir (honey + citrus + ginger & tumeric) is something I will always keep on hand! I swapped one lemon for an orange to give it a little less tart flavor.

Four years cancer free and this is still my most go-to cook book. My shelves are filled with cookbooks, many selling aspirational cooking vs delicious, healthy and easy to reproduce meals. This book is that. I'm eating the yummy lentil soup from the book right, so I thought I would share how worthy this cookbook is on your shelf space!

Yes. If you are used to the American diet, you will be disappointed by most recipes. Not the cookbook's fault. There's a reason we all want sugar, white flour, etc. I do love the recipe, coconut curry shrimp on 106. Just throw all the vegies in together. Makes tolerable leftovers which we bring and heat in trucker's electric lunch box to eat half way up to chemo. I also add jalepeno peppers, kombu, and seaweed. Need those greens. Overnight oats is tolerable and good for those mornings when you can't think.

Very informative with many enticing recipes.

Really like this cook book so far! Has great and easy information especially while going thru chemo. Makes it a lot easier when you open up and see easy meals that can work with your current health situation!

It is ok but I was missing more images of the food and some more versatile options.I have cancer and already cooked similar dishes.Worth a try but expected more.

Nobody really tells you how to deal with the care and feeding of a cancer patient. You are told to eat more of this and avoid that, but no real specifics are ever given. This cookbook supplies the information and recipes needed to help someone fighting cancer. I bought the book because my sibling had been diagnosed with cancer and has had chemo sessions. Trying to plan meals that are healthy, healing and tasty , with the necessary foods and ingredients was confusing and , at times, daunting. I needed more info and inspiration. I am glad I found this cookbook. Recipes are easy , nutritious and not boring. I am blessed to be able to help my sibling and I am enjoying preparing the meals

With stage IV cancer, diet is important but it is overwhelming when it’s all that you think about. This book is simple, well organized and offers variety. I love it!

This cookbook is so exciting as a caregiver. It feels sometimes that less attention is paid to an appealing diet over medical staff simply suggesting getting food any food down. But I’m a believer that when promoting healing and battling disease good food is integral too wellbeing. This book not only has interesting recipes, but lots of the recipes contained ingredients I already had in the pantry. And! There’s an identification of the symptoms the recipe helps with. So thankful for this resource.

An excellent book for cancer patients. Got a lot of easy receipts from it.

Very basic recipes with nothing new

Food is easy to prepare and delicious. My girlfriend loves what I make for her .
