Keep Cooking for Chemo FREE!

Help us keep Cooking for Chemo FREE. Help us support cancer patients who are going through the most vulnerable part of their life. Our goal is to keep Cooking for Chemo digital classes FREE, online resources FREE, and continue to create new recipes, resources, and podcasts. We ask this in the hope that we can help as many people as possible, especially those who can't afford to pay for our information. If everyone who visited our website donated as little as $1, we could fully fund Cooking for Chemo every month. In the spirit of generosity, we ask you to Pay What You Can for our resources and help support Cooking for Chemo. Thank you for your direct help and support!

2021 Digital Online Cooking for Chemo Classes

Upcoming Online Digital Class Dates:

Currently all Cooking for Chemo classes are hosted on Zoom unless otherwise noted. You will need to sign up with the hosting organization to join the class. I can’t wait to see you there!

This class is a fun, energetic, and interactive discussion about food and flavor. We will discuss how your taste and flavor perception can change during and after cancer treatment. In this class, Chef Ryan Callahan will teach the fundamentals of flavor, origin, and function, as well as how to apply this new cooking information to combat the most common eating-related side-effects of chemotherapy. A Tasting Demonstration will teach you the five basic flavors of salty, savory, spicy, sour and sweet.

Class Requires the following ingredients to be tasted to have the full experience of the class:

1 teaspoon of the following ingredients:

  1. Salt (coarse ground or table salt)
  2. Soy Sauce (an authentic, brewed soy sauce preferably Kikkoman)
  3. Ground Black Pepper (coarse ground or table grind)
  4. Red Wine Vinegar or Lemon Juice
  5. Sugar (regular white sugar, or honey)

You can put these ingredients into portion cups, disposable cups, regular cups or any container that can be easily accessed during the class.

We also request that you grab two to three herbs or spices from your kitchen cabinet to smell during the class, and be prepared to discuss them in class.

Here is the link to the class worksheet.

We are booking more classes every day! Return to this page often to see upcoming events.
