Cooking for Chemo is being rebuilt.
Thank you for visiting CookingForChemo.org.
Our website was recently compromised by malware through an outdated website component. Out of caution, we have taken the old site offline and are rebuilding Cooking for Chemo from the ground up.
The good news: Cooking for Chemo is not going away.
We are using this opportunity to rebuild the website into a cleaner, easier-to-use resource for cancer fighters, caregivers, families, friends, and healthcare professionals.
What is Cooking for Chemo?
Cooking for Chemo teaches practical cooking techniques for people dealing with eating-related side effects from cancer treatment, including:
Metallic taste
Loss of appetite
Nausea and smell sensitivity
Mouth sores
Difficulty chewing or swallowing
Food texture changes
Caregiver meal planning
Food safety during treatment
Our goal has always been simple:
Help you make food taste good again so you can take one more bite.
Food doesn’t have to taste disgusting!
Cancer patients stop eating during chemo treatments because food is no longer enjoyable.
Who wants to eat food that tastes bad? The answer is NO ONE! During chemotherapy, food begins to taste disgusting, smell terrible, and can hurt when we eat it. All these factors combined create a horrible eating experience. Over time, this causes us to become discouraged, disinterested, and avoid eating all together.
As a cancer supporter, our mission is to teach you HOW to adjust your cooking so your food no longer tastes bad! We teach common sense, practical, and easy to use cooking techniques that help you enjoy eating again. Our easy to understand cooking techniques help cancer fighters take one more bite of food to fight off starvation. Our goal is to help you take back a part of your life that cancer has taken away… the simple enjoyment of eating good tasting food.
