VIVA Family Cookbook: Nourishing Meals for Healing and Connection
The VIVA Family Cookbook is a heartfelt collection of recipes, tips, and stories designed to support children undergoing cancer treatment and their families. Born from our hands-on nutritional cooking sessions, this cookbook bridges the gap between clinical dietary advice and everyday home cooking, empowering caregivers to prepare meals that promote healing, strength, and overall wellness.
Inside, you will find:
Easy-to-Follow Recipes: Tried-and-tested dishes crafted to address common side effects of treatment, such as loss of appetite, digestive discomfort, and fatigue.
Nutritional Guidance: Insights on incorporating essential nutrients like protein, zinc, and vitamin C, as well as the benefits of superfoods and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) ingredients.
Cooking Tips and Techniques: Practical methods that preserve nutrients and cater to sensitive palates, including ingredient substitutions for dietary restrictions.
Stories from Families: Personal experiences and reflections from survivors and caregivers, highlighting the emotional and cultural role of food in the healing journey.
Professional Endorsements: Advice and support from healthcare professionals, ensuring that every recipe is safe, nutritious, and nurturing.
The VIVA Family Cookbook is more than a collection of recipes—it is a celebration of resilience, family bonding, and the transformative power of food in supporting long-term survivorship.
