The I Can't Chew Cookbook: Delicious Soft-Diet Recipes for People with Chewing Swallowing and Dry-Mouth Disorders

Wilson, J. Randy

This new and updated edition of the best selling Non-Chew Cookbook is for all the people who love and enjoy tasty food, but suffer from chewing disorders that make eating less of a pleasure than it should be. Over 4 million people in the U.S. have chewing, swallowing and dry-mouth disorders. Some are recovering from head or neck surgery, are mouth/throat cancer patients or have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems. Others have braces or wear dentures; are stroke patients; are ALS, Alzheimer's, AIDS or lupus sufferers; or are parents transitioning babies to solid foods. This is not a liquid diet book, nor is it a blender cookbook. Inside are 200 soft and tasty recipes for casseroles, soups and main dishes featuring crab, salmon, ham and chicken. There are Mexican-flavoured dishes such as chilli rellenos, vegetables such as broccoli that are chopped not pureed; and mouth-watering desserts. This is food the whole family can enjoy. People with chewing disorders often exist on milkshakes, Jell-O, mashed potatoes and baby food. This book explains how they can get the foods their body requires to recover from surgery and disease.
