Fred Hutch serves up cooking resources to nourish cancer patients
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle offers more than just high-quality care to their cancer patients. The hospital also provides access to Cook For Your Life, a web-based nutrition and recipe resource dedicated to advancing research on diet, cancer prevention and survivorship.
For people undergoing cancer treatment, it can be difficult to find meal options that make your body feel good while also tasting good. Cook For Your Life addresses this concern by offering nutritional, science-backed resources for cancer prevention for those in treatment and for healthy survivorship. Resources include a kitchen blog; instructional cooking videos; and a web-based recipe finder that lets users input their symptoms and what they want to prepare, and peruse up to 1,100 free recipe results.
Cook For Your Life, created by a two-time cancer survivor, was acquired by Fred Hutch in 2019 and offers resources in both English and Spanish.
