Healing & Easy Eats
Recipes for Head and Neck Cancer Patients & Survivors
Healing and Easy Eats is addressed to anybody who is affected by cancer of the head, neck, tongue, throat or anyone undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy. The time during and after treatment will be hard for you and your family. Based on the experience of the head and neck cancer survivors and patients who have contributed to this collection of recipes, we understand that nutrition is one of the most important parts of your recovery. Your battered body will need high-calorie foods, but your ability to eat, drink, and swallow foods will be very limited. Therefore you will need a special menu that will enable you to get the right amount of calories and avoid unhealthy weight loss during your treatment. The Head and Neck Cancer Alliance wishes you the best of luck on your recovery and that this book can help you along your journey.
Healing & Easy Eats is dedicated to the memory of Chef George Chajewski, whose First Edition cookbook, Your New Best Friend, the Blender: Cooking for the Cancer Patient, is the basis of this edition. HNCA extends special thanks to head and neck cancer survivors Lisa Reed and Ryan Gainor, whose home-created recipes round out this latest version of the cookbook.
