Think Outside the Blender: Great-Tasting and Healthy Recipes for Dysphagia Diets;

This book is for anyone who has difficulty chewing and swallowing due to stroke, Parkinson's disease, throat cancer, surgery, dementia or dental issues. These recipes were created by a speech-language pathologist with over 20 years experience working with adults with dysphagia. Too often, pureed/soft food is bland and unappetizing. The recipes presented here taste great and appeal to the senses with bright colors, attractive shapes and enticing aromas. They are heart-healthy and feature simple, fresh ingredients (real food!). Most are quick and easy to prepare. Many are gluten-free and or dairy-free. With an emphasis on local, seasonal and organic foods, you will be able to create meals the whole family will enjoy, bringing pleasure back into eating and improving the quality of life for the person with dysphagia.
