This class is a cancer patients’ and caretakers’ guide to eating well. Ann Ogden Gaffney, a two-time cancer survivor and founder of the New York-based nonprofit Cook for Your Life, will be using recipes from her eponymous James Beard Award-nominated cookbook to blast away the notion that food has to be dull in order to nourish! Ann teaches you her basic strategies that can help patients and their families get through the rhythms of treatment, using recipes that focus on nutrient-dense fresh veggies, including antioxidant-rich cruciferous vegetables like kale and cauliflower, and seasonal fruits for easy desserts. We'll cook three different menus to help the whole family eat better together: Soothing (tasty but easy to digest); Simple (few ingredients to prep); and Spicy (featuring strong flavors to counteract the taste changes that many patients undergoing chemo experience). Soothing Menu: Tarragon and Lemon Chicken Soup with Orzo; Steamed Vegetables and Tofu with Miso Dressing; Twice Baked Winter Squash; and Microwave Poached Pears. Simple Menu: Vegan Caldo Verde; Slow Baked Fish with Capers and Lemon; Herby Bean Salad; and Apples Baked with Dates and Walnuts. Spicy Menu: Kimchi Grilled Cheese Sandwich; Curried Cauliflower Soup; Spicy Spinach with Lentils with Brown Rice; and Honey Roasted Plums. Everyone will leave with a copy of Ann’s book, "Cook for Your Life: Delicious, Nourishing Recipes for Before, During, and After Cancer Treatment."
