I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

Dr. Ghosh: Unfortunately, chemotherapy, radiation treatments and even medications can change the flavor of foods and beverages in your mouth. Chemotherapy commonly causes a bitter, metallic taste especially when eating high-protein foods like meats. Dry mouth may also lead to changes in taste.

To improve the taste of your food, try these hints:
Rev up your taste buds by eating strong-flavored or spicy foods. Spice and strong flavors hide "off" tastes, too.
Smell your food before eating to entice your appetite. Taste and smell are so closely linked that much of what you taste is actually what you smell. And foods that smell good will generally taste good to you, too.
Dazzle your taste buds by eating either hot food or cold food. Skip the just-warm food because it may taste blah.
Refrain from using flatware that contains silver. Opt for stainless steel or plastic utensils instead.
Rinse your mouth frequently.
Brush your teeth often.
Drink cool liquids.
Suck on sour hard candy.
Boost the flavor of foods by adding sugar, herbs, wine, lemon or pepper.
