The book is divided into three sections: a detailed section by Dr Clare Shaw on diet and cancer and the problems you may face during treatment; recipes to cook during treatment, which are nutritionally beneficial and wholesome enough to keep you strong even if you can't eat too much; and a section of recipes for after treatment aimed at keeping you healthy. These recipes are designed to serve smaller portions and two people as well as for families, and there are lots of tips about budgeting, leftovers and freezing. Clare wants to emphasize that you don't have to cook 'special', separate meals for one, the rest of the family can eat in the same way, saving on time and stress as well as encouraging a healthier diet for all. The tools you gain from this book will help you build a healthy foundation that you and your family can build upon. Includes recipes from Nigella Lawson, Mary Berry, Ruth Rogers, Maggie Beer, Stephanie Alexander and Rick Stein - ensuring there will be something for everyone.
