Cancer Lifeline Cookbook
Author: Kimberly Mathai
After 30 years of providing counseling and support for people living with cancer, the Cancer Lifeline organization knows that one of the main areas of interest for patients and their families is food and nutrition. What foods have been shown to help prevent the spread of cancer? What are the nutritional "rules" for people with cancer? In answer, this new edition of the organization's cookbook presents up-to-date nutritional information (including the Top Ten Super Foods that may protect and fight against cancer) along with practical strategies for making healthy eating a daily practice and suggestions for reducing the side effects of treatment. It features 100 easy-to-make recipes from the nation's top chefs and from cancer patients and survivors, including Blueberry Breakfast Cake, Honey-Glazed Green Beans with Almonds, and Citrus Chicken. These resources and more make this book a natural choice for cancer survivors, people living with cancer, caregivers, and those interested in a health-conscious diet.

Joslin Diabetes Quick and Easy Cookbook: 200 Recipes for 1 to 4 People
Author: Frances Towner Giedt
At last, great-tasting healthful food -- in thirty minutes or less!
If you have diabetes, then you're careful about your diet. But living with diabetes doesn't have to mean being limited to bland, tasteless foods, nor should you have to spend excessive amounts of time planning and preparing complicated meals. Now the same authors who brought you the award-winning Joslin Diabetes Gourmet Cookbook bring you The Joslin Diabetes Quick and Easy Cookbook, with more than 200 recipes for dishes that can be prepared in thirty minutes or less.
Here are recipes for one to four people for every time of day -- from Breakfast Burritos to "Power lunch" dishes to delicious dinner pastas like Mushroom Ravioli with Chunky Tomato Sauce, as well as suggestions for snacks, desserts, and beverages. Nutritional analyses and diabetic exchange information accompany each recipe. You'll also find serving suggestions, advice on what to eat when you're away from home or relying on restaurants, and a section on commonly asked questions about diabetes and nutrition.
Once again, Frances T. Giedt and Bonnie S. Polin, both living with diabetes, have created, in conjunction with the Nutritional Services Staff at the world-famous Joslin Diabetes Center, a delicious array of healthful recipes that will satisfy people with diabetes or anyone in search of quick nutritious meals.
