This book is great. My husband has throat cancer, and was having trouble eating, expecially with the treatments. This book is a lifesaver.

Rating: - More than a cookbook
Very pleased with this book. Not only does it have tasty, easy to prepare recipes but the information contained in Part One should be compulsory reading for all involved with any friend or loved one who has a problem with swallowing as a result of certain medical conditions.Also the nutritional information given at the bottom of each recipe is particularly helpful when counting calories to maintain/gain weight.
Rating: - This book has some great tips
This book has great tips for cooking for someone with dysphagia. I highly recommend it.
