Background: The Nutritional Unit of the Prince of Songkhla University Hospital aspired to develop recipes from soy and soy-based products, which are rich in phytoestrogen and may help improve health condition and prevent medical problems, as a healthcare alternative for patients and their family. Objectives: To study and develop recipes from soy and soy-based products for female patients of OBGYN Clinic at the Prince of Songkhla University Hospital who are in their menopause. Methodology: Developing 4 recipes from soy and soy-based products. Result: Southern Coconut-Rice with Chicken Curry provides the highest level of energy at 460 Kcal, followed by Stuffed Glutinous Rice Balls at 335 Kcal, Spicy Tofu at 270 Kcal, while Baby Mushroom provides the lowest level of energy at 190 Kcal. In addition, a look at how patients assess the recipes shows that the effectiveness of the recipe in controlling underlying medical conditions ranks highest with an average score of 4.43, followed by taste at 4.31, and presentation/appeal at 4.17.
