Introducing the first IDDSI-compliant cookbook in the US. In 2015, the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) was published. The healthcare community worldwide embraced these standards because they are simple and practical and can be implemented anywhere – even in a home kitchen. And the truth is that without IDDSI, this cookbook would not exist. IDDSI’s gift to the world is a set of tools that allows anyone to ensure the food prepared in their kitchen is exactly as their healthcare provider prescribed. No other dysphagia cookbook has taken the broad standards from IDDSI and turned them into a set of practical, easy-to-follow instructions for the home user.

Modern Dysphagia Cooking is written for those who experience difficulty swallowing, and their caregivers. Dysphagia is common among those with Head and Neck Cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Stroke and the aging population, just to name a few. Unfortunately, dysphagia often leads to dehydration, poor nutrition, and choking. Therefore, we have created a cookbook that focuses on nutrition, presentation, and flavor, while also adhering to the diet levels of the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI). .
