IF FOOD DOESN’T TASTE RIGHT ANYMORE…
If food has become bland, metallic, or just not worth eating… you’re not imagining it.
And you’re definitely not alone.
Up to 70% of people going through chemotherapy experience changes to taste and flavour—often making food one of the hardest parts of treatment.
But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
HOW WE BRING FLAVOUR BACK
At Centre For Cancer Nutrition, we don’t just share recipes.
We use a flavour-first approach designed specifically for chemo-affected taste.
We focus on:
Umami – to deepen flavour when taste buds are dulled
Texture – because crunch, creaminess, and contrast make food more satisfying
Temperature – hot, cold, or both can change how food is experienced
Trigeminal stimulation – ingredients like mint, chilli, and citrus that “wake up” the mouth
Aromatics – because smell plays a huge role in flavour
Acidity – to cut through metallic or flat tastes
Small changes. Big difference.

👩🍳 MEET ALYX
I’ve been where you are.
During my own cancer treatment, food became strange, flavourless, and sometimes impossible to eat.It made everything harder.
And my husband—like so many carers—just wanted to help but didn’t know what to cook.
That experience led me to create Centre For Cancer Nutrition and The Cancer Cookery School.
Now, I help people bring flavour, enjoyment, and a sense of normality back to eating—one meal at a time.
Let us help you enjoy great meals again and bring back a sense of normality to your life.

I'm UK bound...
I will be in the UK 🇬🇧 from March 10 to 18th.
Mother's Day is just around the corner so watch out for some Lives on how you will be able to enjoy your Mother's Day lunch despite chemo side-effects that are currently smashing your enjoyment of food.
Can't wait to see you all there...
