When you or a loved one get a cancer diagnosis – EVERYTHING is so overwhelming. There is so much information to process and so many decisions to make. This book is a very quick read and can help you quickly start changing your diet to one that is more healthy. It includes information on managing the side effects of cancer treatment. More than half the book is quick, easy recipes to help you get started. I highly recommend this book as your “healthy-eating starter” book. Then once you aren’t so overwhelmed you can purchase a larger, more in-depth book on cancer prevention nutrition.

I purchased this cookbook because I was recently diagnosed with a pre-cancerous condition. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that every recipe in this cookbook that I’ve tried so far has been delicious and very easy to prepare. The highlights tried so far: Blueberry Breakfast Cake, Banana Bran Muffins, Baked Sweet Potato Fries, Spicy Miso Peanut Noodles, Cottage-Style Mac and Cheese. Looking forward to trying Thai Chicken Soup and Cool as a Cucumber Dressing. All the recipes are chock full of anti-oxidant foods and are prepared with optimum nutrition in mind. I used to equate healthy eating with bland food, but not any more!

I’ve bought multiple copies of this, first for myself (spouse is a cancer patient) and then for friends who have cancer or cook for a patient. Great photos make the food look wonderful. Good recipes, good tips. My only hesitation is that you can’t get all the ingredients in our small town grocery stores.
The sweet potato fries alone are worth the price of the book at the “used” price – all of mine have been less than half the marked price and only one was actually used, lightly.
