When his wife was diagnosed with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems and needed surgery, the oral surgeon told Randy Wilson that his wife would need to eat soft foods for six months. The author took this as a challenge and developed 200 meals that were soft, appealing and nutritious. The self-published version of the book sold 33,000 copies. It has been endorsed by oral surgeons, exhibited at conventions of the National Oral Surgeons, the American Dental Association, and the Registered Dietitians Association. Many medical professionals use the book in their daily practice, and the author now wants to reach a larger audience.
The book contains helpful hints, a foreword by an oral surgeon, and a chapter by a registered dietitian. It is spiral bound so it will lie flat while you are cooking. It is not a liquid diet book, nor is it a blender cookbook. The recipes all have nutritional analyses.
The book offers new and creative ways to prepare food for the person on a soft food diet. The rest of the family will also enjoy these recipes.

Tasty, nutritious meals can be soft-and enjoyable!This new and updated edition of the best-selling Non-Chew Cookbook is for all the people who love and enjoy tasty food, but suffer from chewing disorders that make eating less than the pleasure it should be.Over 40 million people in the U.S. have chewing, swallowing and dry-mouth disorders. (The joint in the jaw experiences more stress than the knee or hip joint.) Some are recovering from head or neck surgery, are mouth/throat cancer patients or have temporo man di bular joint (TMJ) problems. Others have braces or wear dentures; are patients of stroke, ALS, Alzheimers disease, AIDS or lupus; or are parents transitioning babies to solid foods.This is not a liquid diet book, nor is it a blender cookbook. Inside are 200 soft and tasty recipes for casseroles, soups and main dishes featuring crab, salmon, ham and chicken. There are Mexican-flavored entrées such as chili rellenos, vegetables such as broccoli that are chopped not puréed and mouth-watering desserts. This is food the whole family can enjoy.People with chewing disorders often exist on milkshakes, Jell-O, mashed potatoes and baby food. This book explains how they can get the foods their body requires to recover from surgery and disease. There is a new section on good nutrition by a registered dietitian, and each recipe comes with complete nutritional analyses, so that you can be sure your meals are healthy and nutritionally sound.The I-Cant-Chew Cookbook, used and recommended by thousands of dental and med ical professionals across the country, is now also available in paperback for the first time.
