Although I realise loss of taste is a side effect of chemotherapy, does anyone have any good ideas if how to produce meals that can tempt someone to eat other than spicy foods please

Hello Melderby and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.
I'm sorry to hear someone you know has been affected by their chemo in this way. This must be very tough for the both of you.
I hope these tips we have on dealing with changes in taste, including advice on preparing food, will be useful but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable and will do all they can to help.
Hopefully some of our members who have contended with this themselves or cared for someone that has will share their tips and advice with you soon as well.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
