A stroke changes a survivor’s life — and their loved ones’ lives — in an instant. MonacoAVC is the Monaco Stroke Support Organization in Monte-Carlo, Monaco. Get started with the "Simply Good Cookbook" of the ASA, the American Stroke Association to support your journey to recovery.
After a stroke, you may be uneasy about cooking on your own. Meal preparation can be made easier with planning, special utensils, and helpful tips.
For your post-stroke journey, the ASA has created this booklet specifically with adult stroke survivors in mind. It follows a post-stroke diet according to the International Dysphagia Diet StandardizationInitiative (IDDSI). The recipes are designed for regular food texture; however, each recipe includes modifications in case your swallowing abilities have been affected due to your stroke. Look for the color-coded information that best corresponds to your eating level for guidance on how to adjust the recipe to all levels:
- Level 7: Regular, but each recipe includes modifications for
- Level 6: Soft and Bite-sized
- Level 5: Minced and Moist
- Level 4: Pureed
The cookbook of the American Stroke Association is full of helpful tips and information:
- How to eat well after a stroke
