It is Never Too Early -- or too late -- to start eating well. New data is showing that the right foods can help bolster the body's defenses against cancer, even for babies in utero. The Breast Cancer Prevention Cookbook allows you to find the recipes that blend in best with your lifestyle, whether you are a vegetarian, a beginner or an accomplished cook, a family of one or many. In the first section, Hope Ricciotti gives expert medical information and health advice to women concerned about breast cancer or who have had a previous incidence. The recipe section starts with scrumptious smoothies (think lemon and mango) and moves on to soups (corn chowder); salads; pizza and pasta dishes; vegetarian meals; chicken, meat, and seafood recipes; side dishes; and dessert (raspberry-poppy muffins). This is the one book you will want to cook from for the rest of your life.
