Funding

This project was fully funded by Walk the Walk, a charity dedicated to raising awareness and funds for breast cancer. We’re incredibly grateful for their generous support. Projects like this wouldn’t be possible without it.

Often during treatment for cancer, food can seem unappealing and many people lose their appetite altogether. There are also other nutritional and dietary complications that people with cancer can experience during treatment. This is why we created a 15-recipe cookbook that focuses on both nutrition and flavour.

We believe that food is a big part of recovery – emotionally and physically. By focusing on flavour, we hope these new recipes help to make mealtimes more enjoyable.

This booklet contains 15 nutritious and delicious recipes for people living with cancer, such as baked salmon with peas and green mayo dressing.
