This new book is a collaboration between the two and is Clegg's seventh cookbook.

Miletello said he has felt the need for this cookbook for 15 years in order to answer his patient's most frequently asked question, "What should I eat?"

The book is a collection of 200 recipes evaluated with regard to their nutritional value, taste, simplicity, availability of ingredients and preparation time. The book also includes a few medicinal recipes for a basic weight gain shake and substitutions. However, most of the recipes are familiar everyday dishes with a healthy twist. Recipes include chicken scampi, blueberry pancakes, spinach and cheese tortillas and vichyssoise. "Nutrition is important in prevention and sustaining a healthy lifestyle," says Clegg.



The book chapters include: Day of Chemo, Neutropenia, Diarrhea, Constipation, Sore Mouth, Snacks, Caregivers and Post Healthy Eating. Each includes an introduction from the doctor, doctor's notes, menu planning, high calorie variations, nutritional analysis, diabetic exchanges and a cross reference list.



Regarding the cookbook, Miletello says, "This is a good, healthy cookbook that can be used by anyone to prepare everyday meals," Now, when my patients ask me a question about what to eat, I can say turn to page 23."
