An informative, inspiring, and empowering guide to the healing power of food for cancer patients and their caregivers is presented by two experts in cancer care cooking. The Living Kitchen, with nearly 100 recipes specially designed to relieve specific symptoms and side effects of cancer and its therapies, including loss of appetite, sore mouth, altered taste buds, nausea, and more, is accompanied by stunning photography and a simple, user-friendly design. Certified nutritionists Sarah Grossman and Tamara Green provide easy-to-understand, research-based nutritional information on the science of how food relates to health and the effects of cancer, as well as strategies to prepare the body, life, and kitchen for treatment.

The recipes include energizing snacks and breakfasts, superfood smoothies, juices, and elixirs, soups, and stews, as well as nutrient-rich, delicious main dishes that will be enjoyed by the entire family and caregivers. The Living Kitchen will give cancer patients and their caregivers comfort in knowing that their bodies will be nourished and supported during (and even after) cancer treatment.

A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, frightening, and uncertain. You will want to learn what to expect from chemotherapy and radiation, how you will navigate the often debilitating side effects that come with treatment, and what you should eat to support your body at a time when eating and cooking may be too challenging. The Living Kitchen will help cancer patients and their caregivers navigate every stage of their cancer therapy journey, from diagnosis to treatment to recovery.
