Advance Praise for The Living Kitchen by Tamara Green and Sarah
Grossman
“The Living Kitchen is just what cancer patients and their
caregivers need. If you or a loved one has just been diagnosed with
cancer and you want to know what you should eat, look no further.
This step-by-step guide will put your fears at ease and provide you
with truly delicious, healing foods to eat during every phase of
your journey.”
—Kelly Turner, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Radical
Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds
“The Living Kitchen is a well-researched book and a most welcome
alternative for cancer patients and caregivers. It’s a useful
resource for anyone with cancer or for anyone who will be helping
to provide meals for someone with cancer.”
—Dr. Ellen Warner, MD, medical oncologist, Odette Cancer Centre at
Sunnybrook Research Institute and professor of medicine, University
of Toronto
“The Living Kitchen is a beautiful and important book. With recipes
backed in real science that don’t disregard elegance and flavor in
favor of their therapeutic properties, this is must-have for anyone
on a cancer journey. It’s mouthwatering but more so, it’s filled
with empathy and a real understanding of the various types of
hardship cancer brings on. Armed with this book, you’ll feel
comforted, satiated, and (perhaps) even filled with pleasure during
one of life’s most difficult times.”
—Liz Moody, Food Director of mindbodygreen and author of Healthier
Together
“The Living Kitchen brought me to tears, not because of the
tenderness and brilliance that fill each page, and not because of
the deliciousness of the recipes—but because I immediately saw how
much easier it would have made my mother’s life (and my own, as one
of her primary caregivers) during her battle with cancer. Here is a
book that gives those healing, and their families, that most
sought-after of gifts during an illness: immediate, tangible, and
practical support.”
—Lily Diamond, author of Kale & Caramel
“There is no question that after undergoing a major cancer surgery
and reconstruction, patients who are systematically well nourished
heal faster and suffer fewer wound complications than those
deficient. In today’s era of empowering patients to make
cancer-related treatment decisions for themselves, The Living
Kitchen serves as an important guide. The topics of ‘what can I eat
after a cancer diagnosis?’ and ‘what foods may help me during wound
healing after surgery?’ commonly arise with my patients. Having
read this informative book, I feel far better educated and equipped
to engage my patients in these types of important dialogues about
food as medicine for our bodies.”
—Dr. Toni Zhong, MD, Belinda Stronach Chair of UHN Breast
Reconstruction Surgery and director of the UHN Breast
Reconstruction Program
“The Living Kitchen is brilliant, beautiful, and so incredibly
needed. With so many questions that come with a cancer diagnosis,
one mighty area that can empower those suffering and their
caregivers is to know that the foods we prepare and enjoy are part
of the solution—part of healing and recovery, as well as
prevention. From how to eat to prepare for treatment to what to eat
after, with meal plans and accompanying recipes, this book isn’t
just for patients; it will nourish the whole family. This book is
an essential resource for every kitchen, whether your home has been
touched by cancer or not. I truly can’t recommend it more
highly.”
—Meghan Telpner, bestselling author of The UnDiet Cookbook and
founder of The Academy of Culinary Nutrition
“Finally, a book to answer the question, ‘What should I eat now
that I have cancer?’ The information in The Living Kitchen is
presented in such a clear, positive, and visually beautiful way
that it will be easily digestible no matter where you are in your
cancer journey. This way of eating—mindfully, organically, and
supporting the body’s own healing mechanisms—is how we should all
be eating throughout our lives. Food is indeed the best
medicine.”
—Dr. Jennifer Lang, MD, OB/GYN and gynecologist oncologist
“The Living Kitchen is a beautiful reminder that no one should face
this diagnosis alone. Tamara and Sarah’s compassion, empathy, and
knowledge shines through every page of this book.”—Jessica Murnane,
author of One Part Plant and host of One Part Podcast
“The Living Kitchen brings together the how and why of eating for
self-care and recovery. Sarah Grossman and Tamara Green take us
from science to practical, and then to delicious, on a journey that
teaches us the importance of food for physical and mental
health.”
—Laura LaChance MD, psychiatrist and nutritional psychiatry
researcher at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)
“The Living Kitchen is a beautiful testament to the power of real
food during and following a cancer diagnosis. Prioritizing healthy
eating during cancer can be exhausting and difficult, but Sarah and
Tamara have taken this stress away by curating an exquisite guide
of informative yet easily digestible material and accompanying
recipes that are simple and deeply nourishing for the body and
soul. This book is an authentic, mindful collection of wholesome
food and wholesome information that simply strives to empower those
that wish to improve their nutrition during cancer. Having
personally been through cancer, and seeing patients daily in an
adjunctive cancer care setting, I know this book will be a welcome
and crucial ally in anyone’s cancer journey.”
—Dr. Martha Sharpe, ND, naturopathic doctor with a clinical focus
on adjunctive cancer care at Marsden Centre for Excellence in
Integrative Medicine, and cancer survivor
“The mouthwatering pictures of recipes in The Living Kitchen will
inspire any reader, with or without a diagnosis of cancer, to
pursue healthier eating. I will have copies of this book available
in our clinic so that all of our patients, whether chronically ill,
obese, or fit, have access to these simple, luscious, and
health-promoting recipes.”
—Rachel Farrell, CEO, Harmony Health Medical Clinic and Family
Resource Center
"This is exactly the attractive, easy-to-follow book I have been
looking for. . . . Moving and empowering, this book is a must-read
for anyone trying to incorporate nutrition into the practice of a
healthy lifestyle."
--Ronald P. Ciccone, MD, integrative family medicine
