One of the common side effects of chemotherapy is a lack of appetite, in part because some people must deal with a change in the way their taste buds experience different flavors. The Chemo Kitchen Cookbook was designed to help those undergoing cancer treatments, and/or their caregivers, to make dishes that are more palatable for their changing tastes.
The recipes in the cookbook have been curated by "award-winning chefs," and most of them include only eight ingredients and take 45 minutes to prepare. The recipes are nutritious in nature, but the brand recommends only making the dishes that contain ingredients compatible with the diet plans and food-related suggestions that the patients' doctors have set.
The Chemo Kitchen Cookbook is currently raising funds on Kickstarter.
