This book, the third in the Chef's Knowledge series published by The Chefs’ Forum, is a groundbreaking guide for healthcare chefs, dietitians, and food service teams, redefining how meals are prepared and served in healthcare settings. It bridges the gap between therapeutic nutrition, sustainability, and culinary creativity, offering practical tools to transform food into medicine.

Unlike traditional cookbooks, this is a reference work that inspires rather than prescribes. It provides 100 nutrient-dense dish ideas, each carefully reimagined from familiar starting points, alongside in-depth explanations of 100 key nutrients every chef should know and understand.

The philosophy is simple yet revolutionary: every bite should matter. Each dish prioritises nutrients, flavour, and recovery while respecting environmental sustainability and reducing food waste.

By blending science, tradition, and innovative thinking, this book empowers chefs to create meals that heal, nourish, and inspire, proving that food in healthcare settings can be both functional and unforgettable.
