Virtual Event – In the Kitchen with Stephanie: When Food Doesn’t Taste the Same
Date: Wednesday, March 18, 2026
Time: 1:00 PM Eastern Time
Duration: 30 minutes
Presenter: Stephanie Meyers, Registered Dietitian and Licensed Nutritionist, Senior Oncology Clinical Dietitian
Chemotherapy and radiation can change how food tastes, sometimes making meals bland, metallic, or simply unappealing. When eating feels harder, getting the nourishment your body needs can feel harder too.
Join Iris oncology dietitian Stephanie Meyers for a live cooking demo focused on practical ways to bring flavor back to your plate.
In this session, you’ll learn:
Why taste changes happen during treatment
How to use herbs, spices, citrus, and broths to enhance flavor
Simple adjustments that can make meals more enjoyable
Strategies for balancing flavors without overwhelming sensitive taste buds
Stephanie will demo a vibrant Kale Pesto with Walnuts, a flexible recipe you can use on pasta, sandwiches, proteins, or as a dip. She’ll also share easy variations, including dairy-free swaps and ways to adjust texture and intensity based on your preferences.
If food hasn’t tasted the way it used to, you’re not alone. Join us for practical guidance, a simple recipe, and the opportunity to ask questions live.
Register to attend and receive access to the on-demand recording after the event.
