 Disappointed August 9, 2009
Lucy Sim Conway (Hawaii)
I was disappointed with the book because the recipes were not fully illustrated with color photos. The cover of my book did not even look like the one shown here. The information about cancer was useful but I bought it more for the recipes and was very disappointed that it was not illustrated like a real cookbook. Misleading cover on the internet.
 Excellent & diverse cookbook December 21, 2008

So much of cancer today is the result of environmental contaminants and high-risk lifestyles -- including diets. The Strang Cancer Prevention Center Cookbook: A Complete Nutrition And Lifestyle Plan To Dramatically Lower Your Cancer Risk is the collaborative effort of Laura Pensiero (dietitian, nutrition educator, restaurant owner, and graduate of the French Culinary Institute in New York); Michael Osborne (President of the Strang Cancer Prevention Center and faculty professor at Cornell University Medical College); and Susan Oliveria (faculty member at Strang, Cornell University Medical College, and Memorial Sloan Kettering). A complete and very highly recommended single volume course of information and instruction, readers will learn how the phytochemicals in certain foods; how to make delicious eating plans an integral part of a cancer-prevention regimen; as well as lifestyle modifications designed to minimize the risk of cancer. Enhanced with more than one hundred recipes drawn from world-renowned restaurants, The Strang Cancer Prevention Center Cookbook reveals how a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle can keep us physically fit and cancer-free.
