My mom has Multiple System Atrophy, which combines the worst of Parkinson's and ALS, among others. Not only can she not swallow well, she really cannot chew at this stage of her illness. This book recognizes both problems, unlike some other similar cookbooks I've tried. And I love the fact that healthy folks can enjoy the recipes as well. All in all, a big help when I was fast running out of tasty ideas.

I really found this cookbook helpful since it was written by people who know first hand what ALS victims are experiencing. I was pleased with the types of food offered in this cookbook, it was nice simple ordinary style of meals just like we have always eaten. This is a helpful cookbook for the families of ALS patients. I highly recommend it.

This book enabled me to keep my sanity and enjoy family mealtime again! My son was recovering from jaw surgery. I was fixing a meal for the family and preparing something separate for my son. He grew weary of the blandness and monotony. I became tired and frustrated. The whole family was cranky. The solution was The Dysphagia Cookbook. The food was easy enough for my son to eat, palatable to the rest of the family, and I had only one meal to prepare! The recipes offer variety and flexibility. I found recipes for mature tastes as well as meals for a child's delight. I was pleasantly surprised to find a few new cocktails as well! Swallowing difficulties or not, anyone could use this cookbook.

My Uncle was just released from a hospital where he experienced a swallowing problem. I ordered this book for my aunt and she has found it extremely helpful and creative. Simple and easy to follow, it has made meals more interesting and tasty for my Uncle. Thank you.

This book is awesome,very helpful and comes at a great price! There aren't many good quality books on this topic that include tasty recipes + pertinent info about swallowing difficulties. Highly recommend.

I am looking forward to making some meals for my husband. I feel this book will help him have good wholesome meals. When you have a problem swallowing finding new ways to help those you love is very important.

I work in Home Health and this book has been an invaluable tool of the trade. Flavor, color, CHOICES! What a gift this book is to patients and caregivers alike!
