    Synopsis

    Cancer patrients in treatment, their friends and family will all want this book to learn how to eat with maximum nutrition as well as great taste. Hints and tips throughout from cancer patients provide hope and help.

    Publishers Weekly

    In Betty Crocker's Living with Cancer Cookbook doctors Kris Ghosh and Linda Carson along with Elyse Cohen begin with a discussion of the disease and how to cope then outline and identify dietary considerations. A q&a section answers patients' common questions, such as "Why am I too tired to eat?" and is followed by such soothing recipes as Berry-Banana Smoothie. Each dish in the main section, many from patients, includes nutritional and fiber information and is color-coded to indicate which side-effects it helps. One important tip is that extra flavor helps to stimulate the appetite and mask unpleasant tastes from radiation and chemotherapy. Pasta with Chicken in Chili Sauce and Savory Scallops and Shrimp are among the temptations anyone might enjoy. The full-color presentation lifts the spirits. ( Jan.)

    My "Go To" Gift for Friends or Family Diagnosed with Cancerby Anonymous

    November 26, 2009: I use this cookbook for making meals for myself, but it also provides fast and easy ideas for cooking for friends or family to help them through chemotherapy and/or radiation. It also is my favorite gift (or gift recommendation) to help a loved one and supporters through the scary reality of dealing with cancer in a positive way that promotes living life to its fullest and with optimism.

    August 24, 2009: This book was one of the first books I bought after being diagnosed with Leukemia 7 years ago. This year is my third time fighting the illness. A definite keeper for anyone with a cancer diagnosis and their families and loved ones. The book is a little worn but like me, still holding on!
