This research will be conducted in George Brown College’s Chef School. The finished product will be an evidence-based guide that contains research on health –promoting foods for persons with cancer, 80 large quantity recipes complete with photos and nutrition facts tables, a list of necessary pantry items and kitchen equipment, important culinary skills, and tips on how to run a successful supper club program.
