Product Description
This is a much needed cookbook written by expert Margaret Rayman, who created the Nutritional Medicine Post Graduate programme for the University of Surrey. The book is designed to help make the male population more aware on the dangers of Prostate cancer - the most common cancer in UK men with nearly 35,000 diagnosed each year. Unknown to many, scientists have found that there is a link between diet and the development (or spreading) of Prostate cancer and that eating the right foods can make all the difference. This is not just a cookbook, but also a practical guide on how to incorporate the foods and food components that are believed to be beneficial in reducing the risk of Prostate cancer, into the diet.

Format:Paperback
This is a unique cookbook in my experience: it links science in a precise yet accessible way to great cooking.
I'm not actually a prostate patient, simply someone drawn to attractive veg, fish & meat dishes. I might never have found this superb book if it hadn't been for The Food Proagramme on BBC Radio 4. I liked the sound of the recipes being sampled in the studio, roast tomato soup and a vegetable quiche using potato & sweet potato for the 'pastry'.
When my copy arrived I wanted to try out lots of dishes. I've made that quiche, several salads and other dishes and none has disappointed. It's taught me a lot, helped me reinforce a few good habits and acquire some more - I'm definitely eating more fish.
I hope this was the 1st of a series - books linking food to very particular scientific information.

I bought this book because my brother is under-going treatment. The introduction is so clear and easy to follow; I found the explanations and risk factors convincing and the science behind the disease is particularly strong. For the first time I realised why diet is so important. Looking at the different range of vegetables I was able to assess the best sources of lycopene, selenium, Vitamin D and learn how valuable they are in the care of the prostate. And it became clear to me why allium vegetables are so important. We look forward to cooking some of the delicious recipes. The recipe for the Tuna Stir-Fry was an instant hit and we look forward to making the Chicken Kebabs with Peanut Sauce. This is a very useful book for anyone with prostate cancer.

I bought this book because some of my contemporaries have had prostate problems. I've used it primarily for guidance about healthy food; I suspect the recipes and food types mentioned would would enhance any diet (male or female, young or old). The book is well presented (colour photographs of how some of the finished products should look) and I've found it easy to read. I've only followed three complete recipes so far and all three have been delicious. This is an interesting cookbook as such and ignoring any possible health benefits. It's not the food equivalent of a hair shirt. It could be used by anyone who enjoys food and wants some good ideas. The fact that it supports a good cause and might have health benefits is an added bonus.
