Food at the Gentle Approach to Cancer in Preston


Sue Hodgson Marilyn Willwohl Michael Urmston

Each month Marilyn and her team of helpers organise and prepare a Vegan meal for all those attending - patients, supporters, therapists and helpers. Some patients, if they wish, also help to do this so that they learn in the process. When the meal is served she gives out the complete recipe and cooking instructions. Below are the recipes that have been served over the last few years; examples of the culinery delights awaiting you at the Gentle Approach. The recipes have been adapted from a variety of sources in the interests of cancer patients.

We would also strongly recommend Jane Sen's books - "The Healing Foods Cookbook" and "More Healing Foods", available from the Bristol Cancer Help Centre.   Bristol Cancer Help Centre
