The Centre Léon Bérard is a renowned cancer treatment center in Lyon. It was founded in 1969 by Professor Léon Bérard, a pioneer in radiotherapy. 1,800 people work here every day, in care, research, teaching and support functions, to contribute to the fight against cancer. The partnership between chef Christian Têtedoie and contract caterer SHCB was born in 2018 out of the chef’s desire to enable patients to enjoy delicious food again. Based on the experience of caregivers and feedback from patients, he has created hundreds of recipes to take into account the particularities of patients: intolerance to sweet or salty foods, metallic taste in the mouth, difficulty chewing and swallowing, mouth ulcers, nausea, etc.
