Adapt your cooking methods. You don't need lots of fat for food to taste great. When Mike Milken was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 1993 he quickly swore off the high-fat fare that he had eaten most of his life. In the Taste for Living Cookbooks, Mike and Beth share these great recipes with people who love to eat and people who want to lower or slow their risk of cancer onset or progression through a healthy diet. Using sidebars, photographs and illustrations both books show how to get the most cancer-fighting potential from any diet.
Recipes are easy to follow, and each is accompanied by a complete nutritional analysis.
Essays by cancer and nutrition experts discuss the role diet may play in the onset and progression of cancer and other chronic diseases. You'll find some of the best known dishes from the French, Italian and Chinese repertoire. You'll be tempted by the aromatic flavors of the Indian, Caribbean, Mexican and American offerings. Individual menus offer appetizers, main course options and scrumptious desserts. As a bonus, the final section focuses on Mike's love for American junk food.
