Great Books for Your Cookbook Collection Betty Crocker's Living With Cancer Cookbook (Betty Crocker, 2002) by Kris Ghosh, M.D., Linda Carson, M.D., and Elyse Cohen, M.S., L.N.
Two oncologists, a nutrition expert, cancer patients and Betty Crocker have all teamed up and created a one-of-a-kind cookbook. The 130 recipes included are tagged to show which are helpful for the four most common symptoms associated with cancer treatment: constipation, diarrhea, nausea and mouth sores. For example, the hearty Beef and Bean Dinner helps with diarrhea and constipation while providing lots of iron, folic acid, magnesium, potassium, vitamin A and fiber. The Angel Hair Pasta With Avocado and Tomatoes helps with mouth sores and nausea. Other wonderful features include real-life advice from actual cancer patients; questions answered by Dr. Kris Ghosh, an oncologist; nutritional information with each recipe; special menus to help with the four common symptoms; and a cancer resource guide and medical glossary.
