This is a very helpful book.

This book was recommended to me by an oncologist, and I found it was very helpful. There are recipes devoted to foods easier to eat for patients who have side effects from chemotherapy. Some very delicious soups, smoothees, etc. This cookbook shows that nutritious recipes can taste very good.

I like the fact that nutritional information is given and and that hints are given on how to increase the calorie intake when needed. I wish I had seen this book when I was in treatment. I use and love the recipes now!
