La Dott.ssa Clare Shaw è una dietista consulente leader in oncologia, dedicata a supportare i pazienti oncologici nelle loro esigenze nutrizionali durante e dopo il trattamento. Il suo fascino per la scienza del cibo, nato da successi infantili in concorsi di cucina, ha plasmato una carriera lunga oltre due decenni. La Dott.ssa Shaw svolge un ruolo fondamentale nell'educare i professionisti sanitari sull'importanza cruciale della nutrizione per i pazienti oncologici. Il suo lavoro di impatto, incluso il Royal Marsden Cancer Cookbook, consente ai pazienti di mangiare bene, ricevere il nutrimento essenziale e godersi i pasti con i propri cari.
Clare Shaw's fourth collection shows that poetry can say as much as about who we are - and especially how we feel - as psychology. The book is inhabited by the character of Monkey, who shows by example how early attachments and trauma may shape us, but how ultimately we come to realise our own general theory and practice of love.
The book is divided into a detailed section by Dr Clare Shaw on diet and cancer and the problems you may face during treatment (such as loss of appetite, nausea, sore mouth, change of taste); recipes to cook during treatment, which are nutritionally beneficial and wholesome enough to keep you strong even if you can't eat too much; and a section of recipes for after treatment aimed at keeping you healthy. These recipes are designed to serve smaller portions and two people as well as families, and there are lots of tips about budgeting, leftovers and freezing. Dr Shaw wants to emphasise that you don't have to cook 'special', separate meals for one, the rest of the family can eat in the same way, saving on time and stress as well as encouraging a healthier diet for all.
Head On is a second Bloodaxe collection from Clare Shaw.
The territory of Clare Shaw's third collection isn't one she chose herself: the flooded valley and the ruined home - Yorkshire in 2015. Flooding is also a powerful metaphor for wider experiences of loss, destruction and recovery.
The book is divided into three: a detailed section by Clare Shaw on diet and cancer and the problems you may face during treatment; recipes to cook during treatment, which are nutritionally beneficial and wholesome enough to keep you strong even if you can't eat too much; and a section with recipes for after treatment, to maintain a balanced diet.
