This book has some good recipes, though not enough emphasis on sugar-free cooking. It is well-written and includes nutritional guidelines with a lot of easy-to-do recipes. I found the question and answer section helpful.

I recently bought this for a dear friend who has been diagnosed with cancer. In addition to the good recipes, the book contains valuable explanations written by medical experts and increases one's understanding of what to expect and how to deal with the side effects of various cancer treatments.
