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

Spiced Fruit Sweets
Category: Sweets |

Ingredients:
4 tblsp each of sesame, sunflower and pumpkin seeds 12oz mixed dried fruits e.g. pitted dates, apricots, peaches and figs 4oz raisins Juice 1 Orange ½ tsp ground nutmeg 1 tsp ground cinnamon Pinch ground cloves 1oz grated dried coconut 1 oz carob powder | |

Method:
Finely grind the 3 seeds in a food processor or grinder. Add the dried fruits and as much orange juice as is necessary to make the food processor run smoothly without the mixture becoming runny. When the fruit is finely chopped add the spices and briefly process again. Form the mixture into small balls. Roll half in coconut and half in carob powder. Chill for 1 hour. Spiced sweets will keep for up to a week in the fridge. There are many variations of this basic recipe e.g. Raisin and Sultana Balls and Apricot and Brazil nut balls. |
