Transform Your Kitchen Into a Dysphagia Kitchen
I'm Diane Wolff, author of "Cooking for Dysphagia and Other Swallowing Disorders: 101 Delicious Recipes and Techniques for Safe, Easy Eating", published by the Mayo Clinic Press.
My book is the product of 10 years of research and writing. My system was created for my mother, when I became her primary caregiver.
This is the book I wish I had when my mom was diagnosed.
I had never heard the word dysphagia until my mother was diagnosed. Boom! From the day of diagnosis, the person has to eat modified texture foods. I had to swing into action. I did my research. I consulted healthcare professionals. I updated family recipes. My mother’s primary care physician said that my mom was doing so well, I should write a book because healthcare providers needed tools to offer their patients.
Nothing is more fundamental than food. Food is medicine. Food is love. Life is too short to eat boring, tasteless food. The healing power of food created with love should never be underestimated.
