I recently found out a dear friend’s husband has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing gruelling rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I wanted to help.

Like many Jewish mothers, food was the first thing I felt I could offer to support them and their family. The last thing they have time for at the moment is meal prep. But what would be appropriate? Beyond chicken soup — our community’s cure-all — I had no clue.

So when The Living Kitchen by Toronto-based nutritionists Tamara Green and Sarah Grossman landed on my desk, I was all over it. This new book is aimed at cancer patients and those caring for them. It’s full of gorgeous-looking recipes with helpful symbols, showing you the symptoms and side-effects the particular dish will be good for.
