The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen Course for Novant Health Survivors & Their Caregivers

Flourishing during treatment & beyond

A comprehensive course including detailed information and delicious recipes, along with culinary skills and techniques that will support a nourishing experience during treatment and recovery. A companion to my best-selling book The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen, the course distills down the very best of what I’ve learned and created in my over 15 years working with people with cancer and their caregivers. This is the path I’ve traversed with numerous people coping with the journey of cancer, and now I can walk it with you.

"I'll be right there with you in the kitchen, showing you how to successfully nourish yourself during treatment and beyond. You can do it! And not just survive, but thrive!"

The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen Course™ was a collaborative effort. We deeply appreciate the input, help and guidance we received from our community of doctors, dietitians, and most of all, cancer-fighting survivors. Without their help this project would not have been possible.

This course was created by:

Rebecca is the co-author along with Mat Edelson, of the award-winning cookbook, The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen: Nourishing Big Flavor Recipes for Cancer Treatment and Beyond (Ten Speed Press, 2009), and five other cookbooks focusing on the connection between food and health.

Jen Yasis, M.Ed, Co-Founder, Healing Kitchens LLC is a natural chef, educator and multi-talented videographer, graphic artist and project manager. She designs and delivers programs that provide healthcare professionals hands-on culinary education in translating the science straight to the plate.

Frequently Asked Questions


When does the course start and finish?
The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
I'm a vegetarian. Will this course work for me?
Yes! There are vegetarian menus and recipes for all phases of cancer treatment -- and beyond!
Are the recipes gluten-free?
All the recipes are anti-inflammatory and gluten free.
What's the difference between The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen book and course?
The course is the book brought to life! Videos take you step-by-step through prepping and cooking, making it so easy to SEE what to do next. You'll quickly pick up culinary skills that will last a lifetime. The course is based on the 2nd edition of the book (coming out January 6, 2017), so the nutrition science is the most up-to-date available. The book on the other hand, has more recipes than the course -- so you may wish to have both!
Will you ever update the course?
Absolutely! Course owners will have lifetime access and receive notice of all updates.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 30 days and we will give you a full refund.
