Every recipe has been analysed by Juliet Reeves, who is clinical director of Perio-Nutrition, which offers nutritional advice specifically tailored for dental patients.
Along with the ingredients and method, each recipe features a full nutritional breakdown and advice from Juliette who also offers suggestion for ways the recipes can be altered to suit specific nutritional or oral health needs.
In her introductory foreword Juliette comments, ‘A healthy balanced diet is important for all of us, especially for teenagers, whose growth and development now will influence their overall health for life. This collection has been put together to help ensure the food restrictions needed whilst wearing a brace, will not affect your nutritional status, food choice and fun whilst you are having your teeth straightened. These recipes are easy to make and are suitable for the whole family, whilst being tooth friendly at the same time.’
NOW let’s cook is a brightly illustrated booklet which features easy to read and following instructions for a range of starters, main courses and deserts as well as breakfast dishes and even drinks which can be prepared not only with the brace wearer in mind, but to suit the whole family, so parents don’t need to make different food and the patient does not feel singled out.
