This revised edition of the IACP award-winning cookbook offers 150 new and updated recipes designed to support patients seeking revitalizing and nutritious meals. The book provides science-based, nutrient-rich recipes that are easily prepared and address common treatment side effects such as fatigue, nausea, dehydration, mouth and throat soreness, taste bud changes, and weight loss.

A step-by-step guide assists patients in nutritionally preparing for all phases of treatment, and each recipe is accompanied by a comprehensive nutritional analysis. This resource instructs patients and caregivers on utilizing readily available, nutrient-dense ingredients to develop a culinary toolkit for symptom management and cancer support. The recipes, encompassing soups, vegetable dishes, proteins, and both sweet and savory snacks, blend appealing flavors with a focus on the nutrients, minerals, and phytochemicals that can benefit patients during treatment.

The second edition also incorporates a dozen new, simplified recipes suitable for preparation on days when patients have low energy, along with a list of cancer-fighting foods that can be easily integrated into daily life. Author Rebecca Katz has updated the text with the latest scientific research and includes a section on how friends and family can provide culinary support.
