Patient-Friendly Recipes
A bank of recipes made by the HNCF team, which are suitable for oral cancer patients who have undergone radiotherapy and have difficulties with eating. These recipes are made to be enjoyed by the whole family: otherwise many oral cancer patients choose to eat alone, due to their special dietary requirements. After radiotherapy, patients may lose their sense of taste and commonly used ingredients may burn their mouths. But, with a little help from HNCF, simple, tasty family meals can be prepared so that everyone can enjoy eating together.
Dr. Phillipe Katz
Dr. Phillipe Katz specialises in the examination of salivary glands and is a passionate cook. Many of his patients have oral cancers, such as throat or tongue cancer and as a result have radiation treatment. This leaves patients with a sensitive mouth that can no longer produce saliva. 20 years ago, one of Phillipe’s patients asked if he could do anything to help with his difficulties in eating, so Phillipe decided to try and create a soup with a special texture that would be easier for his patient to eat. The soup was a success and Phillipe has now created a variety of recipes that his patients can comfortably eat and enjoy. Watch and download the recipes below!
