Written by 2 sisters who left the high-octane world of fashion to start a personal journey to discover optimal health through food. The book starts with a brief insight into the basic principals of good nutrition and offers sound ideas to help us go shopping. It introduces the reader to some of the less known ingredients that can form part of a healthy lifestyle and also explains some of the more strange bits of equipment we are starting to see on the shelves on department stores. Bookstores are full of thousands of cookery books, so why chose this one? Well for me it is naturally gluten-free, so it is not trying to replicate one cake for another but introduce new foods to your plate. Who knew you could make a fab cheesecake with no soft cheese or digestive biscuits?! It is full of fab photos. I personally never understand a cookery book that does not look good. We chose food with our eyes, so surely we choose recipes the same way? If you need proof, pop into your local Waterstones and have a quick flick to page 215 and feast your eyes. Or in the case of my teenage daughters then page 269 comes in at Number 1. It has a recipe for bone broth. “What?!” I hear you say. A long forgotten dish that costs next to nothing to make and should be at the heart of nutritious eating and a definite must for anyone who has digestive health issues or is recovering from an illness. So, in a nutshell, this is a practical book that does not show you yet another chicken breast recipe but introduces you to foods that you can find in your local supermarket but rarely make your shopping basket.

We use our digestive system 365 days a year, 24 hours a day and as we march on into the 21st Century we are going to hear more and more about our microbiome (gut flora to you) and how it influences our health from Alzheimers to obesity.

This is a lovely book that takes you on a journey explain how your digestive system works and why it is so important to health.

Some great little cartoons help balance out the more ‘digestible’ (sorry) information with some tougher science. For those of you that want even more science it is jammed packed with research references.

It will be a great starting point for those wanting to understand this essential body part and anyone that has visited my clinic will tell you I talk about the digestive system A LOT!

Check out page 106 the cartoon is enough to make a 7 year old boy giggle.
