Workshop Description:
It is apparent that there is a void in the cancer care realm for a concise, evidence-based cancer nutrition guide equipped with recipes to provide to those touched by cancer, their caretakers, oncologists, doctors and/or nurses to alleviate the stress and frustration of seeking out information related to cancer nutrition. Please join nutrition professor, researcher and chef, Amy Symington, MSc for a nutrition-focused workshop and food demonstration showcasing the SSHRC funded research, community guide to cancer nutrition, and the evidence-based cookbook she has compiled in collaboration with George Brown College and Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto. Chef Amy will discuss what to consume for cancer prevention and management and to help prevent recurrence as well as how to manage the side effects of treatment through whole foods. Following the discussion Chef, Amy will showcase the practical application of this important nutrition information via quick, easy, and affordable recipes! All information provided during this workshop is available via our online Community Guide to Cancer Nutrition found here:
