Editorial Review:

The Dysphagia Cookbook is 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.

He is not alone:

My Uncle was just released from a hospital where he experienced a swallowing problem. I ordered this book for my aunt and she has found it extremely helpful and creative. Simple and easy to follow, it has made meals more interesting and tasty for my Uncle. Thank you.

Awesome book:

This book is awesome,very helpful and comes at a great price! There aren't many good quality books on this topic that include tasty recipes + pertinent info about swallowing difficulties. Highly recommend.

Very helpful:

My mom has Multiple System Atrophy, which combines the worst of Parkinson's and ALS, among others. Not only can she not swallow well, she really cannot chew at this stage of her illness. This book recognizes both problems, unlike some other similar cookbooks I've tried. And I love the fact that healthy folks can enjoy the recipes as well. All in all, a big help when I was fast running out of tasty ideas.

wonderful recipes for als patients and their families!:

I really found this cookbook helpful since it was written by people who know first hand what ALS victims are experiencing. I was pleased with the types of food offered in this cookbook, it was nice simple ordinary style of meals just like we have always eaten. This is a helpful cookbook for the families of ALS patients. I highly recommend it.
