Simply Good Cookbook
A cookbook for stroke survivors and their families
After a stroke, you may be uneasy about cooking on your own. Meal preparation can be made easier with planning, special utensils, and helpful tips.
As a trusted resource in your post-stroke journey, we’ve created a recipe booklet specifically with adult stroke survivors in mind. The recipes are designed for regular food texture; however, each recipe includes modifications in case your swallowing abilities have been affected due to your stroke. Look for the color-coded information that best corresponds to your eating level for guidance on how to adjust the recipe.
Our cookbook is full of helpful information:
- How to eat well after a stroke
- Tips for meal preparation for stroke survivors
- Ideas for simple snack and side dishes
- Healthy and tasty recipes
