Meat lasagne in the style of the Marche, one of the 38 recipes in the book "Nutrirsi con gusto", by authors Mauro Uliassi and Paolo Piaggesi, publisher Fondazione Serena Onlus for Centro Clinico Nemo in Milan (for enquiries and purchases +39.02.91433773 and camilla.pietrantonio@centrocliniconemo.it). The preparations were designed for those who suffer from dysphagia and find it hard to swallow food and liquids
Yesterday we mentioned the efforts of Centro Clinico Nemo in Milan in giving dignity to patients suffering from neuromuscular diseases such as ALS, SMA or dystrophies. Among the most important aspects of the project, we recalled the solutions for those suffering from dysphagia, the difficulty in swallowing food and liquids, with a quick mention to Mauro Uliassi and Paolo Piaggesi’s book “Nutrirsi di gusto”. What is it about? We speak directly with Uliassi, chef at the homonymous restaurant in Senigallia (Ancona). «The project started thanks to my friend Alberto Fontana [treasurer at Aisla, Associazione Italiana Sclerosi Laterale Amiotrofica]. Because dysphagia is a big, ugly thing, which doesn’t just affect those who suffer from neuromuscular diseases, but also from many other diseases too, such as ictus. It involves patients and families that, on top of the issues with difficult swallowing, must take care of other motor, logistic or even economic difficulties on a weekly basis».
