FLAVOR BOOSTERS |

Print this Recipe "Food just tastes different during chemotherapy, not like it used to." Sound familiar? Due to chemotherapy or radiation and the effect these treatments have on the way food tastes, finding ways to enjoy your food can be a real challenge. What works for one person may not work for another; some patients find that eating bland or plain foods is best, and some find they tolerate highly seasoned or spicy foods and even crave them. Try a few of these ideas to boost the flavor of your foods. 1. Add grated lemon, lime or orange, or the juice from these fruits, to cookies, cakes, chicken and fish. 2. Marinate chicken breasts or turkey breast slices in soy sauce, teriyaki sauce or sauté sauce (such as Dijon chicken sauté sauce) for 30 minutes before cooking. 3. Add pesto or salsa to pasta, fish and main dishes. 4. Use fresh herbs when cooking chicken and fish. 5. Use small amounts of foods that pack a lot of flavor: Kalamata olives, anchovies, capers, roasted garlic, blue cheese, feta cheese, Dijon mustard, toasted walnuts, crushed red pepper. 6. Use garlic to boost the flavor of meats, side dishes, pilafs, salads and soups. 7. Cook rice in broth or apple juice instead of water. 8. Sprinkle toasted nuts over fish, salads and main and side dishes. 9. Caramelize meat by sprinkling brown sugar, drizzling with orange juice or molasses and cooking until the mixture thickens and coats the meat. 10. Experiment with balsamic, raspberry, tarragon, white wine and seasoned rice vinegars to add zing to cooked vegetables, pasta, soups, salads and cooked meats. 11. Use curry powder and coriander in chicken salads and casseroles and to add a jolt of exotic flavor to soups and stews. From "Betty Crocker's Living with Cancer Cookbook."
