Cooking With Your Oncologist

New York Cancer & Blood Specialists (NYCBS) will launch their program, “Cooking With Your Oncologist,” where patients and their doctors will have the ultimate experience in food learning. Our demo-style event, led by a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Culinary Nutritionist, is the first of its kind. 

Patients and their oncologists will learn step-by-step cooking instructions, discuss food's nutritional benefits, and understand how to make recipes that fit into a healthy eating pattern that aligns with recommendations from cancer health organizations. “Cooking With Your Oncologist” also offers patients, their oncologists, and other practitioners and staff the opportunity to eat together and provide and receive social support. 

NYCBS is strongly committed to helping patients meet their nutritional needs close to home and supporting their overall well-being. We strive to alleviate stress related to meal preparation and execution. Based on patient feedback, we created a “Cooking With Your Oncologist” program. Eating and cooking together is a terrific way to enhance the bonds we share with our patients.

In addition to the valuable information we will offer, it’s also a way to enhance sociability. The opportunity to co-mingle with other cancer patients and survivors is extremely important to build bonds and foster community relations.  

Any information presented throughout the program is not meant to prescribe or diagnose. We recommend you always reach out to your oncologist or healthcare provider for your individual needs.  

NYCBS wants to be part of our patients’ plans, share helpful tips and ideas on nutritious eating, and offer some healthy inspiration.

Join us as we:

• Walkthrough strategies to start your healthy eating journey.

• Talk about ways to stay healthy during and after cancer treatment.

• Recipe talk, meal prep strategize, enhance knife skills and learn core food safety concepts.

• Empower you with the tools to achieve your nutrition, culinary nutrition, and health goals.

• Eat and chat!

During this event, we will provide our patients with support and guidance on making a meal plan, shopping for food, and cooking delicious and nutritious meals in a fun setting. “Cooking With Your Oncologist” will motivate participants to become more comfortable in the kitchen by mastering basic kitchen skills. Learning simple steps and techniques will help participants arm themselves with the tools needed for better health and improved quality of life.
