Excellent Source for Cancer Patients November 9, 2009

I have been using the Keith Block Life Over Cancer book as a bible to help with complementary treatment for my dad who has been diagnosed with cancer. On a very common and uneducated level about this disease, I have done everything I can to learn about cancer and through all that I have read, I have learned that nutrition and diet is a major factor attributing to the spread of this disease. There are many cookbooks out there that claim they have cancer fighting recipes and they may very well contain recipes that will help prevent cancer, so I don't disregard them. But, this is the very first book that I have found that every recipe contained in it will help seriously combat the disease while you are dealing with it. IT IS TRULY A BOOK FOR CANCER PATIENTS, not just a book for those who are looking to prevent cancer. This book is full of information and contains recipes that truly make your body a hostile environment for cancer cells to survive. It is such a relief to finally find a book such as The Cancer Fighting Kitchen to help with authentic recipes that arm the patient or careperson with more knowledge and information to help combat this disease.
Excellent gluten-free and dairy-free recipes. Not just for fighting cancer! November 5, 2009

I love this cookbook even more than Rebecca's last book (One Bite at A Time). I like the personal, fun writing style that draws you in and makes the recipes come alive. Besides learning so much more about cooking for cancer patients, this cookbook is fantastic for anyone who wants to eat healthy and gourmet at the same time. I cook a lot of gluten-free and dairy-free food so I am super excited to see that almost all the recipes are gluten-free/dairy-free or provide for options to allow me to cook that way.
A Culinary Gem November 2, 2009
Aubrey (Bradenton, FL)
The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen is a culinary gem! It goes beyond the typical cookbook to explain the benefits of ingredients. The culinary pharmacy is a wonderful tool to have, not only for someone who is undergoing cancer treatment, but in every kitchen! The recipes are easy to follow and delicious. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in cooking healthy, wholesome foods for themselves and their families.
A Cookbook and So Much More! October 12, 2009

This is book is so much more than just a cookbook. I purchased this for myself and for a friend who has a brother currently undergoing cancer treatment. When the book arrived in the mail, we sat down on the front steps of my house and flipped through the pages together. We were drawn in by how delicious the recipes sounded and looked throughout, and quickly found that beyond the recipes this book is a wonderful step-by-step guide to how one can put the kitchen to work in healing and the wellness of others. This book briefly discusses research that has been conducted with regard to food and cancer, the healing properties of ingredients found in these recipes, strategies for eating before and after treatment, and how caregivers can set up support teams for patients so that no individual feels overwhelmed by the care giving task. There is even a resource guide at the back of the book that provides a myriad of sources for people to turn to for cancer support and food information. We were blown away by the breadth of information contained inside. There are recipes to suit all taste buds and for someone who does not have cancer but likes to eat for good health, like me, this has also been a great resource. The recipes tried so far have been delicious.
Five stars to the author for handling a heavy topic with sensitivity and smarts. I wish this cookbook had been published years ago! A must read.
This is the book I've been waiting for! September 16, 2009

This is TRULY the book I've been waiting years for!! I am an Integrative Oncology Nurse who's passion is to empower people being treated for cancer to take charge of their health and "The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen" cookbook is a GREAT tool in this regards. It is so thorough, filled with concrete helpful tidbits to help ease many of the side effects of chemotherapy in natural ways - which I find more and more people are searching for..... all "wrapped" in a package of beautiful, mouthwatering pictures. The presentation is easy to understand, categorized so nicely and filled with humor, heartwarming introductions that make you feel as if she's right there with you as you cook your way to health and give your body the support it needs. Rebecca Katz has given us (as health care practioner's) a real "gift" to suggest to our patients and their family members or caregivers, so they can know there is alot they CAN do to heal themselves on the journey from "illness to wellness".
