The Living Well with Cancer Cookbook An Essential Guide to Nutrition, Lifestyle and Health Synopsis
When authors Fran Warde and Catherine Zabilowicz met at the Maggie's centre 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 favourites 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.
