One Bite at a Time, Revised: Nourishing Recipes for Cancer Survivors and Their Friends [A Cookbook]

This an excellent book. I bought it for my mother-in-law who has pancreatic cancer. I am a nutritionist and she looked to me for some assistance. My main concern is to just keep her appetite so she keeps eating. I happened upon this book at a book festival and was pleasantly surprised. The recipes were nutritious, not complicated and had aroused all of the senses--she loves the smells and the tastes of everything we make. While she was researching specialized diet books that gave her a list of foods that she should eat, this book brought it all together. It bridged that gap. It also has some wonderful stories inside. It should be given to all cancer patients but then again, I find myself making these recipes for my own family--We love it just as much as she does!!

What a fabulous cookbook! The recipes are so interesting to read and for quantities that allow freezing. The two squash soup was the best thing I've ever eaten that didn't contain chocolate. The food is brilliant spiced. Ms. Katz is a genius at designing food that is both healthy and delicious. My mom died of cancer 12 years ago, and I so wish I had this book then. Now I'm cooking for my health and tastebuds, and sharing this with food with my husband and friends. Several have bought the cookbook for the humor, the pictures, the recipes as well as the info about maintaining high quality nutrition.

I'm a health supportive chef and oncology nurse and have been working with people with cancer for over 25 years. It's about time that there is such a beautiful and sensible book on whole foods cooking for those living with and through cancer. Bravo, Rebecca Katz---you've done it! Laura Pole, RN, MSN, Chef

Rebecca Katz's pantry ideas are great! One stop at an organic grocer and your pantry will be stocked with healthful ingredients that you can now use for everything you cook.
