Cooking with Cancer is a program designed specifically for cancer care of those persons who are afflicted with cancer, care givers of the patients, and all of those who work in the healthcare industry. The content is recipes researched and tested on patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.
Our goal is to provide a greater understanding of the breakdown in taste, smell and digestion so recommendations for patients are most effective.
In 2003, tired of seeing the same full cans of supplements on daily rounds and untouched meal trays, Dr. Luis F. Pineda enrolled in Culinard Institute to combine the art of cooking with the knowledge of medicine. His motivation is the patients past and present he has provided care for through his 26 plus years as an oncologist.
Some of our goals in the area of taste and smell include:
Developing taste and smell laboratory dedicated to patients suffering with cancer.
Fund clinical research dedicated to establish the causes, nature and treatment of the changes which cancer treatment introduces to the break down of patients taste and smell.
Developing of recipes with Institutions of Education in Nutrition and incorporating cooking during training sessions.
