The eye eats too! There are times when one prefers to consume soft foods—whether due to a visit to the dentist, a sore throat, or serious illnesses in the mouth and throat area. Soft food is also more pleasant and easier to digest for toddlers and elderly people. The so-called dysphagia can strike anyone in the middle of life and significantly diminish the joy of eating. But that shouldn't be the case! Thick or puréed food doesn't have to be unattractive and can actually taste really good. In addition to a comprehensive collection of recipes for various stages of dysphagia, the book contains numerous tips for everyday life from the perspective of those affected. Readers can expect appetizers, soups, main courses, desserts, and beverages. Furthermore, the author offers advice for dining out and traveling.
