This new and revised edition of the IACP award-winning cookbook brings the healing power of delicious, nutritious foods to those whose hearts and bodies crave a revitalizing meal, through 150 new and updated recipes.

Featuring science-based, nutrient-rich recipes that are easy to prepare and designed to give patients a much-needed boost by stimulating appetite and addressing treatment side effects including fatigue, nausea, dehydration, mouth and throat soreness, tastebud changes, and weight loss. A step-by-step guide helps patients nutritionally prepare for all phases of treatment, and a full nutritional analysis accompanies each recipe. This remarkable resource teaches patients and caregivers how to use readily available powerhouse ingredients to build a symptom- and cancer-fighting culinary toolkit.

Title: Actually HEALTH Based Current and Useful Information
Review: I am so glad I discovered Rebecca Katz! This updated cookbook is the most reasonable "eating and cancer" book I've seen yet. It actually imparts knowledge about different food ingredients and why they are helpful and healthful. In comparison, I bought a cookbook from the American Cancer Society and was appalled to see the main protein sources were just tons of cheese or milk and the majority of recipes were very high in sugar (as much as 52g per serving!) While I understanding that some days of the treatment cycles will necessitate a focus on amount of calories over quality of calories, I think Katz's book provides great options for getting quality food calories in all situations. There are pages with table format references to recipes by side effect symptom (ie constipation, sore mouth etc.) AND general, related health considerations (such as inflammation and blood sugar regulation). The extensive information provided in addition to the recipes is well written, interesting, current and very useful! The photographs that accompany some dishes are beautiful and the layout is nice. Nutritional information is included with each recipes (I would have preferred a table format to paragraphs - 3rd edition please?!) and a great addition of storage method and storage time information is included as well.It's important to note that many recipes involve a lot of prep. Each recipe notes a prep and cook time but I found it takes much longer than what is listed (I may just be too slow?!) many are listed as 10 minute prep so if you're good in the kitchen this may not be an issue for you! Also, some ingredients you might not find on your grocer's shelf or hard to find if you have limited choices in food markets. I was able to find most everything by going to regular grocery stores and the local co-op market. Katz does provide a list of online resources and offers substitution ideas so most of the recipes are flexible. There are also informational pages describing the possibly less familiar items and why they are healthful.Since, as noted, many recipes involve quite a bit of prep time, being able to cook ahead and store properly allows the patient/care giver to cook when feeling up to it and then store so as to have healthy food available quickly when needed. This book is also a great resource for care givers or people wanting to bring a meal to a friend to provide a nourishing, tasty dish. I almost took off a star for the complexity of many of the meals but love it otherwise so much I stuck with 5 stars. You can also check out Katz's online videos to get to know her a little and watch her make some of the recipes. Definitely a sensible, information packed and well researched cookbook - definitely recommend!

Title: Great cookbook.
Review: I like everything about it! Fresh, healthy, accessible foods that are simple to prepare. Most would be enjoyed by all but the pickiest of eaters. Great for supporting cancer patients & rest of family! Broth recipes that can be made ahead in bulk, then divided & frozen for easy & fast future meal prep by patient or caregivers. A section of soup recipes included that use the broths as an ingredient. Variety of offerings for easy make ahead foods for patients to have on-hand options, depending on appetite, symptoms & side effects. Indicates how long foods will keep in refrigerator & freezer. Offers advice for foods & recipes to help manage side effects, grouped by problems in a certain convenient section. High grade nutritional support especially suited to provide optimal vitamins & minerals from foods. Vitamin & mineral supplements are generally contra-indicated for cancer patients in treatment as they are believed to work against treatment & decrease effectiveness of both radiation & chemo treatment, as advised by our oncology & radiation providers. Uses lots of fresh herbs-great time to plant some in your garden. Organics preferred especially for the dirty dozen & grass fed & non-commercially processed meats are also suggested. Gave to a family member patient as gift. The whole family loves so much we got a copy for us. You can view some of the author’s older recipes on her blog to get a sense of her approach. Exceeds five stars for us. If you like fresh & healthy foods, you will surely enjoy this book (2nd edition).

Title: Fabulous recipes
Review: Not only written by medical professionals, and nutrition experts, but the recipes are also delicious!The tips and tricks to help before, during and after chemo infusions help a lot. Not every recipe is simple, and some ingredients are a little out of the ordinary, but once you've got them the recipes are so easy, delicious and nutritious. Great for cancer patients and caregivers.

Title: The Magic Mineral Broth is truly magic
Review: I've tried a few of the recipes in this book, which I bought the day I was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer. The Magic Mineral Broth recipe has been a daily mainstay in my cancer-fighting diet...drinking at least 16 ounces of it daily. I had my first surgery on a Tuesday, and was back to work the following Monday, so I had a quick recovery time. I've been doing daily chemo and radiation for the past 3 weeks, and so far the side effects are pretty much non-existent. My Oncologist wanted to monitor me closely for side effects from the chemo, since I'm getting such a high dose. I saw him again yesterday, at the 3 week point, and he was absolutely ecstatic that I was feeling no side effects and didn't have redness or blistering on my hands. My Radiation Oncologist was also extremely happy to see that the side effects from the radiation (13 treatments so far) have basically been no more severe than a little tingling in my skin...even though the tumor is definitely dying, since I see my symptoms improving daily. Did the Magic Mineral Broth make that possible? I don't know for sure, but it definitely hasn't hurt. Oh...and contrary to what some negative reviews have said, the broths are extremely easy to make. Most of them require only a washing and rough chopping of the veggies...the peels stay on because that's where a lot of the good nutrients are. Aside from that, if you can boil water, you're going to be able to make the broths. With the help of the recipes in this book, we're going to beat this thing! Keep a positive attitude and never quit!

Review: A very useful reference book, with valuable summaries of what foods have been scientifically proven to aid treatment of specific kinds of cancer as well as tasty recipes and alluring color photographs. The author's informal, upbeat style keeps the subject light rather than frightening.

Review: What a great book. I got it when I was diagnosed with lung cancer and wanted something to help on the nutrition side. This book gave me that and more. A great amount of information around the nutrition side of cancer, foods that help. The recipes are great - have not tried anywhere near all of them but the ones so far have been incredibly tasty and well received by my family as well. The Magic Mineral Broth is a regular in our freezer, as are the Go Anywhere bars and the Carrot Fennel soup.So glad I found this book.
