Book SynopsisCoeliacs are people who suffer from a sensitive reaction to gluten, which is the protein found in wheat and rye. Similar substances are found in barley and oats. Since gluten damages the lining of the small intestine of coeliacs, it makes their ability to absorb adequate nutrients from food difficult, which results in severe illness resembling malnutrition. Coeliacs may be acutely ill with weight loss, tiredness, lethargy and breathlessness. The only treatment which can rectify a coeliac condition is a gluten-free diet. A coeliac must not eat any food which contains flour or wheat, barley or rye in any form. Ths means excluding bread, biscuits, crispbreads, cakes, pastry, pasta, breadcrumbs, semolina and food cooked in batter. Flour is also an ingredient in many tinned, packaged and processed foods as well as ready meals. A gluten-free diet can therefore pose major difficulties for the coeliac. This recipe book offers 200 recipes using special gluten-free flours, breads and pasta now available on the market, many of which coeliacs can obtain on a doctor’s prescription.

Book SynopsisIf you are told that you must follow a wheat, gluten or dairy free diet, where do you begin to work out what you can eat safely? One thing is for sure you will have to start cooking for yourself at home since there are very few ready meals available that will be suitable for your restricted diet. The simplest and safest course is to prepare your own meals, that way you will know for certain that your food does not include any hidden ingredients that might trigger your allergy or intolerance. Many people find cooking becomes a tyranny if they have to make family meals and then a small portion of allergy free food for one person. Simpler by far to prepare recipes that are delicious for the entire family. But if you have been used to relying on ready prepared meals you may not be a confident cook or you may not have a repertoire of dishes to rely on. This book will help you build up your confidence and encourage you to cook so often that you will become a stress-free cook. The recipes are smart, modern, international and anything but depriving by using alternative ingredients such as coconut milk and rice flour. It provides recipes for all those meals, snacks, cakes and biscuits you have been used to picking up ready-made in the supermarket - soups, sauces, lasagne, macaroni cheese, fish pie, burgers, casseroles, muffins, cup cakes, Christmas cake, cheesecake, crumble, apple pie, sausage rolls, quiche, pitta bread as well as that much loved favourite sticky toffee pudding. There are also recipes for special occasions - from Christmas and birthdays to entertaining.

Book SynopsisEat Nourish Flourish is a 12 step plan and recipe book to enable you and your family to establish a healthy, sustainable relationship with the food you eat. It features 60 recipes which are not only healthy, hearty and delicious but they are also all simple-to-make, which is so important when you are trying to change the habits of the whole family. Written by food coach and mother of three Carey Davis-Munro, she knows only too well that for positive change to be sustainable, gain the support of your loved ones, and have a long-lasting impact, it needs to be a process. You'll need to bring your family along with you, throughout the education, the understanding, the planning, the cooking, and - of course - the passion. And that's where Eat Nourish Flourish comes in. There are many complex psychological reasons as to why we don't invest the time, energy, and money in healthy eating, so Carey primarily focuses on changing the relationship you have with food for the better. Alongside the 12 step plan, Carey has also created 60 flexitarian recipes which once you have restocked your food cupboard, are all simple to make whether it's a quick midweek tea, breakfast-on-the-go or a fully fledged evening meal. Standout dishes include Butternut Squash and Porcini Risotto, Aubergine Rogan Josh, Butternut Aloo and Raita and Baked Salmon Steaks with Ginger, Lime, Chilli and Tamari. Snacks and sweet treats include Crispy Chickpeas and Healthy Millionaires while there are also plenty of soups, salads and sides to choose from too. But this is so much more than a recipe book. It's about empowering you to make positive changes that will last and, ultimately, giving you and your family all the tools you need to live a long and healthy life.Trade Review"This book I think is going to be a game changer; from the minute I read it it gave me real ‘food for thought’ in every sense of the word! It explains and asks questions, gives you delicious recipes, and helps you really put the whole picture together. It’s both relevant and helpful and has recipe photos that ooze off the page!" - Emma Forbes, radio and television presenter As a new father, athlete and wellbeing advocate, I recognised long ago that food is key to performance at any level and health on all levels. It is not always easy, however, to break bad habits, or understand about the right foods to eat when we are bombarded with skewed marketing and supermarket shelves filled with products that offer very little nutrition. What Carey has done in this book is to skilfully combine her craft of coaching with the lessons from her personal food journey to offer those wishing to upgrade their choices and habits an invaluable tool to do so themselves. So much more than a recipe book, with some fabulous ideas for meals, snacks and healthier substitutes, Carey invites us all to examine our relationship with food, which is fundamental to longevity and quality of life. This is very much a book for NOW, when we should all be prioritising our physical and mental health and looking to our gut to provide us with immunity.- Leon Taylor, BBC commentator, mentor and wellbeing advocate ( Headspace trainer)

And, sure, they were great days… but if I’m going to be really honest, there were three days in the August of ’69 that go down in history as the best days of my life. Between the 15th and 18th August, 1969, I lost myself and found myself on a dairy farm in Bethel, New York. Woodstock—the festival that rocked the world and defined my generation—was pure, unadulterated fun, love, harmony… and marijuana. I’m not going to lie—I was high pretty much the whole time. As I imagine most of the other half million people there were, too. We smoked, we danced, we laughed, we hugged… we lived.
