Cook through cancer: meals that matter

12 nourishing recipes for people living with and beyond cancer

A cookbook titled Cook Through Cancer with a plate of colourful vegetables, grains, and sauce on the cover. Around it are dishes of couscous and vegetable kebabs on a wooden table.

Cook through cancer: Meals that matter is a free cookbook designed to support anyone affected by cancer – whether you’re living with cancer, recovering, caring for someone or simply looking for comforting and nourishing meals.

Developed by Registered Nutritionist Gopi Chandratheva, each recipe has been thoughtfully created to be flavourful while being mindful of the challenges that can come with cancer and its treatment.

The recipes were originally developed to support our Cook Through Cancer online cooking classes which offer nutrition and cooking guidance to people affected by cancer across the UK.

Who it’s for?

This cookbook is for anyone living with and beyond cancer, as well as carers, family members and support workers looking for practical, supportive meal ideas.

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.

Buddha bowl

Loved this dish, so simple to make and adapt and with different coloured food. Good intro to cooking with tempeh.
