Welcome to Cooking With Cancer
Helping those afflicted with cancer to enjoy a better quality of life through good food.
Cooking with Cancer is a program designed specifically for cancer care of those persons who are afflicted with cancer, care givers of the patients, and all of those who work in the healthcare industry. The content is recipes researched and tested on patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.
In 2003, tired of seeing the same full cans of supplements on daily rounds and untouched meal trays, Dr. Luis F. Pineda enrolled in Culinard Institute to combine the art of cooking with the knowledge of medicine. His motivation is the patients past and present he has provided care for through his 26 plus years as an oncologist.
The reason for the quest is in oncology we watch changes come and go; new treatments, new testing and new medications but the most common side effect for these patients is loss of weight due to the loss of appetite has remained the same.
Each recipe is designed to enhance taste in those patients, to heal the mouth, to provide maximum nutrition and to treat certain side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fluid retention, etc.
Our goal is to provide a greater understanding of the breakdown in taste, smell and digestion so recommendations for patients are most effective.
