The Dysphagia Cookbook

‘Beyond The Blender: Dysphagia Made Easy’ is all about making meals that are fresh, delicious and easy to cater to the dietary needs of people with swallowing difficulties, known as dysphagia. No longer is it necessary to blend bland and tasteless meals; with these recipes anyone can create fantastic food full of flavour that will impress people with dysphagia, their friends and family alike.

In this recipe book, you will find recipes across 3 categories : 1) foods that are soft; 2) foods that can be minced (or mashed) and are moist and; 3) foods that are pureed with no lumps. There are a variety of sweet and savoury options that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and all are aligned with current Australian texture modification recommendations.

‘Beyond the Blender: Dysphagia made easy’ is a passion project for Simone Howells, lecturer in speech pathology at Griffith University, and the Griffith University Master of Speech Pathology students who have worked hard since 2014 to develop easy to follow recipes for anyone with, and anyone cooking for someone with, swallowing difficulties. This recipe book is all about bringing the joy of eating back into the lives of people with dysphagia – happy cooking!

  1. Thank you for providing this book. My neighbor has dysphagia and gets very tired of eating bland much. I will make some foods for him.

  2. Very nice to look at but that is all. Very, very low numbers of main meal recipes. Also disphagia patients short and long term cannot tolerate any food with the word “curry” in it. Our throats are sensitive to spice heat.
