When authors Fran Warde and Catherine Zabilowicz met at the Maggie's
center at Charing Cross Hospital in London, they quickly discovered they
shared a passion for good food and healthy eating. They also realized
that with their combined knowledge and experience - Fran as an acclaimed
food writer, and Catherine as an experienced nutritional therapist
working at Maggie's - they could provide invaluable guidance for
anyone living with cancer, their families and friends.
The Living Well With Cancer Cookbook, published in support of the
Maggie's charity, is the result of Fran and Catherine's collaboration.
Aimed at helping readers through each stage of their journey -
diagnosis, during and after treatment - this essential guide is packed
with advice on nutrition and health and offers a range of delicious
recipes. There are healthy twists on classic favorites and tempting new
treats to try, with every ingredient considered for its health benefits.
Positive and empowering, the book contains a wealth of information on
the best food choices to make, and reveals why many scientists today
believe that certain foods and a balanced diet are crucial in sustaining
strength throughout treatment. Taking a holistic approach, this book
also seeks to alleviate anxieties, such as those concerning weight-loss,
loss of appetite and the changes in how food tastes. Above all, the
simple, comforting recipes will help both experienced cooks and novices
to create nutritious, easily adapted meals - from breakfast right
through to dinner - each one designed to nourish and sustain. Includes
metric measures.
