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 recipe book 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.

This cookbook brings you seven recipes that show how slow cooking can be delicious, healthy and satisfying.

If you don’t have the time or inclination after a busy day to spend your evening in the kitchen preparing meals, slow cooking can be the perfect solution. Simply prepare your ingredients earlier in the day and put them all in one pot to cook – a convenient way of providing nutritious meals for the whole family.

Our cookbooks and other health information resources can empower people to make lifestyle choices that can help prevent cancer, so we can live happy, healthy, cancer-free lives.

Sarah’s favourite

We asked Sarah Drabble, who has written many of our cookbooks, to share her favourite recipe from this one with us:

My favourite is the chicken hotpot. It’s made with everyday ingredients that I always have in and it’s really simple, but it’s packed full of warming flavour – it makes great comfort food. I often make big batches and pop extra portions in the freezer for a quick meal on busy days.

Sarah’s favourite

We asked Sarah Drabble, who writes some of our cookbooks, to share her favourite recipe from this one with us:

It’s got to be lasagne with aubergine! Everyone loves a pasta supper, as it’s great for when people come over or you can make a batch and freeze some portions for later. But by switching out traditional lasagne sheets for sliced aubergine, this dish packs in more vegetables and is much lower in calories.

During the warmer months, it’s lovely to eat outdoors with our family and friends, whether it’s to celebrate a special occasion or simply because the sun is shining.

Our Alfresco dining cookbook brings you 8 recipes that are inspired by the traditional buffet foods we eat outdoors but have been given a healthier makeover.

What you said

Our supporter Patty ordered Alfresco Dining and loved it. She told us:

Alfresco Dining was really useful, because I had some friends round for lunch outside in the garden. I’d never had much success with wraps in the past, but your instructions made it so easy. The houmous and beetroot salsa wraps were absolutely delicious and enjoyed by all.
