I have recurrent ovarian cancer and the ascitis and tumors make it difficult for me to eat. My doctor put me on a low fiber diet and I have found that this is usually directly opposite of what cancer fighting diets recommend. My question is, would the recipes in this book contain low fiber options?

(I’m the Director of Nutrition programs, including the Food As Medicine professional training program, at The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, and I posted this on our blog right after Rebecca’s book first came out. I hope you find it useful!)
Our Food As Medicine Executive Chef and core faculty member Rebecca Katz, MS, has just come out with her second book dedicated to helping cancer survivors and their families with tasty, healthy, science-based recipes and food information. Called The Cancer Fighting Kitchen: Nourishing, Big-Flavor Recipes for Cancer Treatment and Recovery, it’s full of practical and delicious information. And who knew a book about cancer could be cozy and funny? That’s Rebecca. Reading her books is like sitting and talking with an old friend, in this case one of our nation’s most astute experts on supporting health during cancer treatment, what she calls ‘culinary Rx’.
She’s also the Queen of Yum. If you’ve been to our Food As Medicine trainings, you know, because Rebecca designs all the lunches. That’s the experiential part of the training: healthy food CAN be gorgeous and delicious. My colleague Alex ran down the street to our local bookstore and bought a copy of CFK the minute it came out, and has been cooking from it ever since, reporting back on her boyfriend’s verdicts (’Fabulous!’ ‘So delicious!’). We’re teasing Alex that it’s like Julie & Julia — Alex & Rebecca. Rebecca doesn’t know it yet, but she’s got us all mesmerized!
Here’s to joyous and healthy experiences in your kitchen with Rebecca’s book!

This book is fabulous. It includes a section on spices and herbs and how they help nutritionally. Every recipe I’ve tried has been easy to prepare and very flavorful. I’m delighted that I chose this cookbook!

I appreciate the introduction and the explanations about the basic cooking concepts! The idea of just four flavors to adjust is helpful also.
