A blend of research and flavour

WCRF team up with chef Ryan Riley

One of the common but less well-known side-effects of cancer treatment is a loss or change in taste; many patients report losing their appetite as everything tastes bland or metallic. To improve the quality of life of people living with cancer, we've teamed up with chef Ryan Riley to create 15 recipes that are nutritionally sound and based on the research behind our Cancer Prevention Recommendations.

The recipes are designed to help people who are experiencing taste changes during cancer to enjoy food again. They include a range of different ingredients carefully chosen to bring out the flavour of each dish, such as za'atar lamb, pineapple tacos and caramelised mango.
