The Dysphagia Cookbook: Great Tasting and Nutritious
Recipes for People With Swallowing Difficulties
A specialty cookbook filled with nutritious,
great-tasting recipes for those whose eating options
are limited by chewing and swallowing difficulties.
All of the recipes focus on enhancing flavor,
presentation, texture, aroma, and color, for there are
many other products that supply nutritious calories or
liquids but give little attention to these
quality-of-life concerns.
Some of the unique aspects of The Dysphagia Cookbook
make it particularly useful and practical. These
include:
• A classification of S, G, or P indicates consistency
levels of soft, ground, or puréed.
• Flexible instructions provide suggestions for
adapting recipes to accommodate increasing levels of
chewing and swallowing difficulties.
• There are many recipes with an international flavor
that do not use difficult-to-find ingredients.
• Ready-made products that have been tested for
thickness, flavor, ease of chewing, and ease of
purchase and preparation are listed.
• A section on must-have kitchen supplies helps cooks
deal with the new ways of preparing food for people
with swallowing difficulties.
• The approach is practical rather than clinical.
The ritual of eating gives shape and meaning to our
lives. Many meals are consumed in a pleasant
atmosphere with the company of loved ones and friends
in lively conversation. The Dysphagia Cookbook is an
attempt to restore this joy and dignity to those whose
pleasure in this area has been limited to one degree
or another. |
