suemac: I have purchased several copies before and shared my copy that is being paid-forward for family and friends who have been diagnosed and receiving treatment for cancer. Back in 2012 when I was searching for immune boosting health ideas for my own family, I came across this book in my search and ordered it. It has many good recipes and ideas and although I have not tried them all the wisdom in its pages is comforting and the best recipe I use over and over again is the nourishing Bone Broth Soup and its variations. It makes 12 500 ml mason jars of soup that I can put in the freezer and pull out, as required, and is an easy way to deliver to friends who can pull out some nourishment without having to prepare.
I can't wait for the new edition to come out in 2017!

Zaiga V: The recipes are all based on using fresh, healthy ingredients in a tasty way. During chemo I didn't lose my appetite so was able to cook every day. But there were days when I felt I needed an extra boost and turned to Magic Broth. The book is informative about the value of different fruits, vegetables, and proteins when you have cancer, or are working hard at helping to prevent a reoccurrence. Many of the recipes demand a bit of time at the stove for the patient or the caregiver - but so worth it if you want to give your body the best chance of dealing with cancer and it's treatment.

M. Schoch: Very good book, recipes are simple and taste great. All the recipes I tired tasted good and were quick to make. I'm very impressed by this book and how its organized and with the Recipes. Lots of helpful tips if you are cooking for someone with Cancer. There are drinks for when someone is on Chemo that help with the discomfort and just general tip on simple things that make a difference. The Avocado dressing recipe is so simple that when I'm pressed for time I just make a batch and store it the Fridge. The various Dip recipes can be made with Canned Beans or You can soak and cook the beans yourself. One thing that impressed me is that the food is not boring or bland, it has spices in it and has flavor so it can be enjoyed.

saffron: fantastic and easy to prepare recipes. Many of the foods I generally love. However, making the broth was fantastic recipe. Even though I had no actual hunger or fancy for this broth, once I tasted it, I wanted to eat it.
Thankyou Rebecca Katz, however, I have downloaded to my kindle which I now wished I had got the hard copy.Shall have to look at cost of getting physical book. But well done for some very good tips a nd recipes. I would recommend this book to anyone who is on chemo and have recommended it.
thankyou xx Laura Bryant

Foxie Roxie 2018: A close friend told me about this book. I had been casting about for some good solid support and advice on how I could use nutrition and food to help support my body during the months of chemo.. And even though I have a great medical team at one of the top cancer centers in the U.S., no one had really focused in nutrition as something that is within my control and that I can use to help minimize side effects and also strengthen my body and help it to combat the toxic effects of chemotherapy.
So when my friend told me about this book, I came to Amazon and I read about it and the author, and I did some online research, and I figured it would not hurt to try it out.... I even bought the follow up book for survivors and their families.... Since then my life has CHANGED in more ways than I can describe... More than anything, I have noticed that By eating certain things that Chef Katz has developed for cancer patients, I have been able to minimize some of the worst of my side effects... I have been able to bring my body back to life when my fatigue kicks into overdrive... I've learned how to combat nausea and I've learned that some foods are not good for my cancer, while others...

Nana Del: I'm over 60 years old and have cooked since I was 14 - out of necessity. I never liked it. My hobby and passion is sewing, so my motto has always been "I'd rather be stitchin' than in the kitchen." I saw it somewhere and adopted it immediately. Obviously, I only did what was necessary in the kitchen. I purchased this book because my husband was diagnosed with cancer - for the second time. However, I purchased this recipe book only with the intention of "seeing" how I could "help". Well, I got so caught up in the methods Rebecca Katz uses and the kind of cooking, that I spent almost every day in the kitchen and I liked it ALOT! It is fun to get to know the food and understand the processes, mixtures and compatible ingredients. Since I was also researching my husband's "newest" type of cancer, I found all of Rebecca Katz's cancer tips extremely helpful and they coincided with what the reknown surgeon was saying in the other book I purchased. Now I make almost all of the recipes in "The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen" throughout a month but I make the Green Tea Ginger Lemonade by the gallon every other day and make the Anytime Bars once or twice a week. So finally, after all of these years,...

Ivant2win: I purchased this book after my sister sent me info on Rebecca Katz' web site. I was diagnosed with stage 3B cervical cancer in July 2010, and had had the cancer metastize to my lymph nodes in the neck and para aortic region. I had changed my diet during my first battle however when I had the reoccurrence I did more researche and decided to go more plant based and purchased many "cancer cookbooks"
The Cancer Fighting Cookbook to me blows the others ou of the water, the information just on the different foods and how they help fight cancer is more extensive than other books.
One of the side effects I had problems with was from a drug called neulasta which was given to help my body keep my white blood cell count up, this drug caused intense bone pain, and had me feeling like I could not keep fighting, that it was too hard. While this lasted only a day, it was horrible.
I made a couple of the recipes from this book one a tea made from ginger,clove,cinnamon, coriander and cardamom . It did not sound like something I was going to like as I do not like flavored teas or chai. I love this drink and according to the author it is good for fatigue and building white cells...
