Product Description
From the bestselling authors of Foods That Fight Cancer comes the companion cookbook.
Foods That Fight Cancer has sold more than 180,000 copies across Canada and has kick-started a revolution in our understanding of the cancer-fighting properties of food. Now we know of the health properties of green tea, dark chocolate, and red wine, but how do we learn to incorporate these foods into our daily diet? Anticipating this dilemma, authors Richard Béliveau and Denis Gingras have teamed up with professional chefs to create Cooking with Foods that Fight Cancer.
Featuring 160 specially created, delicious recipes â including Cuban Black Bean Soup, Scallop and Strawberry Rosettes, Maghreb Couscous, Sweet Chestnut Brownies â and packed with information on the latest research developments in the field, this gorgeous, full-colour cookbook is the essential companion to the first bestselling volume.

 Wonderful Book! December 2, 2007

This is a wonderful book full of useful and authoritative information as well as excellent recipes that are easy and not too time consuming.
After I heard an interview with the authors on CBC Radio, I just had to have this book. I went out and bought it that same day. Now I am giving it for
Christmas. The format of this book, with its shiny pages and great pictures makes it a book that can be a coffee table presentable book.
All in all a beautiful presentation with solid content.

I was looking for a book written by a guest on Oprah, but when I found the book, it was nothing like the author had described on the show. I kept looking because I wanted to extend and improve my terminal hubby's life.
This book extended his life by 5 months. He enjoyed all the recipes I made from this book (even though he said he wouldn't eat some of the recipes when he read the ingredients, he gobbled it down when it was made). You can select recipes by meal, and some are so easy a child could make it, and others really require a spice mill and a mandoline. Some take a lot of prep with short cooking times, and others are dead easy. All can be made in an hour if memory serves me, and I have made some of the meals for guests, and they think I am a cordon bleu chef after tatsting it.
The authors researched all types of food and found which food and spices fight cancer, made a list and presented it to the top chefs in Quebec, and told them to make recipes using the ingredients on the list.
And, you can't fault them because they tell you to eat 70% or higher chocolate every day, and that will make any day a bit brighter.
This book is also very good if you don't use spices a lot. The recipes will show you what goes with what.
I have given this book as gifts to friends, and wouldn't part with my copy.
 beautiful cookbook-- but sugar? December 28, 2007

I think this is a beautifully presented cook book. I am aware of the foods to beware of and I am a little puzzled by the use of sugar, but we always take our common sense with us when we have cancer-- but the recipes are inspiring and so many taste good.

This is a beautiful book with a lot of important information and excellent recipes. I was a little disappointed with the index. If you're looking for a recipe for a specific ingredient, it gives a list of page numbers, but leaves out the recipe that will be found on those pages. So you have to look up each one - too tedious. If you are interested in this topic, I highly recommend Anticancer: A New Way of Life by David Servan-Schrieber. No recipes in that one, but an excellent user-friendly readable review of the science behind diet & lifestyle changes which will help prevent cancer or cancer relapse.
 Surprised! October 6, 2009

I am a big fan of Dr. Beilveau ... but I was very surprised to see recipes that include sugar. It appears that the recipes were not reviewed in detail. I plan to try many of the recipes included -- but the sugar thing really surprised.
