Cookery for specific diets and conditions Books

Book SynopsisA food lover''s guide to eating well with diabetes. Poldark star Robin Ellis''s Mediterranean-inspired vegetarian recipes are delicious and suitable for the entire family and for entertaining friends, with no sacrifice of taste or quality.Mediterranean cuisine is among the healthiest in the world and a vegetarian diet has been proven to be particularly health-giving for people who have diabetes. In this book British actor Robin Ellis shares his lifetime collection of healthy and simple vegetarian recipes especially selected and adapted for people wishing to control or prevent Types 2 diabetes. Diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes himself, Robin explains the strategic changes he made - in what he eats and how he prepares his food - that allowed him to bring his glucose levels down sufficiently to avoid taking medication for six years. Robin''s recipes show how you can cook and eat delicious vegetarian food without recourse to carb-heavy pastries or potTrade ReviewWhen first diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes I plunged myself into a world of research on how to combat and reverse said diabetes. This was how Robin's cookbook, Mediterranean Cooking for Diabetics, found its way into my kitchen. In successfully reversing my diabetes I owe a significant debt to Robin's delicious recipes, and as someone who adores cooking Robin's book still gets enormous use in this grateful household. Keep them coming. Terrific! -- David Calder, actorI can't recommend Robin's recipes highly enough. Several have become regular favourites, not just because as a Type 2 diabetic I need to eat sensibly, but because they are fantastically full of flavour and on a grey day in Wiltshire you feel like you're in the South of France. -- Clive Mantle, actor and author of the Freddie Malone Adventure seriesWhile not suffering from diabetes myself, I can highly recommend Robin's delicious recipes, some of which I have had the pleasure of sampling at his table in France. The recipes have all the richness of classical Mediterranean cooking. Enjoy yourselves . . . with this mouth-watering cornucopiaRobin Ellis learned to cook at his mother's knee. This unique book is rich with a lifetime's experience of wonderful cooking in the Mediterranean way. His recipes open up a world of delicious, healthy eating which everyone will love. An instant classicOf course I am biased, Robin is a very old and dear friend! Even so, he is simply one of the best cooks ever. Why? His cuisine is always a delicious culinary paradox, strong and delicate with an exquisite balance of flavours. One of the truly great treats of my life is a meal prepared by Robin - with the commitment, love and detail of a great actor preparing for a classical role. Once tasted, never forgotten!Robin is the perfect cook to have as a friend. He loves food, cooks superbly and likes nothing more than sharing his food with as many people as he can get round a table. Generosity is at the heart of good cooking and Robin cooks to give pleasure. It always worksRobin's cooking did what five different medications failed to do: bring down my high blood pressure. I suffered a stroke and no medication brought my blood pressure below 177/70. After staying only one week with Robin and eating his delicious meals, it came down to 120/59. Now home, my challenge is to reproduce his way of eating. With the help of this cookbook, I am sure I canRobin Ellis has the gift of writing recipes that you can taste as you read them. As if his acting weren't enough, he's now given us a marvellous book - without any pretension or carry-on, just deep affection and knowledge. Absolutely deliciousI've used Robin's recipes again and again. They're elegant, delicious, imaginative and easy to use. The Basques are great cooks and giving a dinner in the Basque Country is scary. One also eats very late, so no one wants anything too heavy. I always use one of Robin's recipes and end up with nothing but compliments and a demand for the recipe. "An Englishwoman who can cook tuna!" someone said to me in complete astonishment. Of course, the recipe was Robin'sRobin and I are old friends - or should I say enemies - from Poldark days. As Captain McNeill, I was constantly trying - and failing - to catch up with him and throw him into prison. Today I'm trying to catch up with his expertise in the kitchen! I'm now somewhat embarrassed when I have to say yet again, 'This is delicious! Can I have the recipe?' His cooking is superb. Wonderful flavours, textures and presentation. His cook book is a must for those who love their food, but also like to stay healthy.Robin's cooking and Robin's recipes: simple, fresh and simply glorious. To have Sunday lunch at Robin's and to go home with his recipes is the perfect southwest France Sunday. Oh, let there be many more Sundays in the kitchen with Robin.Robin Ellis is a superb chef! His cookbook is filled with delicious and healthy recipes even for people like me who are not diabetics

Book SynopsisIn her debut cookbook, Jane Devonshire presents 100 delicious recipes guaranteed to make you feel good, and wow family and friends. This beautiful book is published in association with Coeliac UK, celebrating their 50th anniversary.''I hope that first and foremost this book is a series of delicious recipes that you can use for everyday cooking; be it for a special occasion or a simple family supper. It's the things I cook and the little twists that I add that make my life easier and hopefully tastier; it just happens to be gluten free.'In chapters such as nibbles and small dishes or dinner and food for guests, Jane offers recipes from soups and dips to casseroles, arancini and delicious salads. Desserts include Chinese-style caramelized pineapple and a much-loved classic of steamed sponge pudding, while Jane also includes a chapter on baking (notoriously tricky for those on a gluten-free diet), from brownies to muffins and everything in between. Beautiful photography by Mike CoTrade ReviewIt was a real pleasure having Jane spend some time in the kitchen at Le Gavroche. Her passion and creativity really shone through as I’m sure it will in these recipes. Jane’s culinary talent is unquestionable and I think it’s wonderful that she is showcasing how delicious and exciting gluten-free dishes can be. * Michel Roux Jr. *I love Jane. What makes Jane and this book so attractive is her heart and her cooking is rooted so deeply in family. I’m regularly professionally and personally meeting people who want advice on gluten free. I now have a thorough and clever book to guide them to. This book obviously has need as its foundations, but it is written by someone who not only cooks like a champion but moreover cooks as a loving mum. * Gregg Wallace *Each and every recipe is crafted with love and experience. Jane's food always makes me smile - not only because she cooks from the heart and with affection, but also because her flavours and textures are so wisely interwoven. We are fast becoming a world full of different allergies and diet restrictions. Coeliac disease is a big worry for many people, and Jane's book will not only guide people but I am sure it will also become a gastronomic encyclopaedia for many! * Atul Kochhar *We’re loving Jane Devonshire’s hearty and healthy recipes. * Healthy Diet Magazine *These recipes may have been developed by the winner of Masterchef UK, but you don’t need special skills to whip them up in your own home. * Australian Gluten-Free Life *Ranging from the super simple - think cheese straws - to the dinner party-worthy, including the ever-favourite peanut butter cheesecake, the contents of this book means it is impossible to run out of ideas. * Independent.co.uk *Table of ContentsIntroduction Nibbles, small dishes and lunches Dinner, supper and food for guests Salads, sides and sauces Cakes, muffins and pancakes Breads and doughs Desserts Acknowledgements Index

Book SynopsisThe Inflammation Spectrum, Dr Will Cole's follow up to Ketotarian, teaches us how inflammation is often the catalyst for most common health woes. Arriving at a time where issues of inflammation and gut health are becoming increasingly prominent within mainstream discourses, Dr Will Cole offers us a solution to this growing issue. The Inflammation Spectrum teaches us that ultimately how we feel is symbiotically linked to what we consume; indeed, food, in Cole's words, 'constantly and dynamically influences' our health. Subsequently he teaches readers how to do nutrition the right way, providing us with a personal guide which seeks to aid readers to find out which foods their bodies love, hate and need to feel great! Cole's book informs us to think twice before consuming pharmaceutical drugs to "fix" issues of inflammation and instead proposes that readers reassess their eating habits, using 'food as thy medicine'. This book, Dr Mark Hyman suggests, is for 'anyone who is fed up with fad diets' as Cole uses his years of experience in functional-medicine to teach us how to love our bodies enough to nourish it with delicious, healing foods. From personal quizzes to scientific breakdowns The Inflammation Spectrum offers empowering advice and puts readers on the path to achieving food freedom and optimal health.

As we begin to understand the intricacies and differences of our microbiomes, we are realizing more and more that personalized medicine and intuitive eating are vital. Returning to a baseline with real food is where the magic unfolds. Yet for so many, with the swirling of life’s busyness, this seems impossible. Leah not only inspires us with her own honest reflections, she sets us up for delicious success by teaching us the rudimentary and lost life skill of cooking. It does not have to be complicated, but you do have to be dedicated—a small price to pay for health. This is a must-read for anyone involved in the health and well-being of children! It’s valuable information we all need to hear.”—Hilary Boynton, author of The Heal Your Gut Cookbook

Book SynopsisHeal Heartburn and Lose Weight, Naturally   If you suffer from acid reflux, you’re not alone. More than 50 million Americans have GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, and while antacids can be effective for short-term relief, they can also cause dangerous medical conditions if they’re used for more than the recommended fifty days at a time. Luckily, The Acid Reflux Solution offers a simple plan to help you gradually and safely reduce—and eventually eliminate—the need for pills while alleviating your heartburn.   In this combination medical guide and cookbook, gastroenterologist Jorge E. Rodriguez, MD, has teamed up with registered dietitian and food writer Susan Wyler to present a three-step program to heal heartburn naturally. This isn’t a formal diet plan—no calorie counting required—but you’ll probably shed some pounds while following The Acid Reflux Solution because these recipes were designed for good health. In fact, Dr. Jorge has not only healed his own heartburn since developing this plan, but he has also lost more than 30 pounds!   In step one you make some simple lifestyle modifications, like raising the head of your bed, loosening your belt, and eating less but more often. These are easily achievable goals that you can start working on today. In step two, you start eating to avoid reflux. With 100 high-fiber, low-fat, portion-controlled recipes to choose from, this step is the most delicious—and surprising. The list of foods that actually trigger acid reflux is smaller than you might think, which means you can enjoy meals that you probably thought were off limits, like Cuban Black Bean Soup, Grass-Fed Beef and Portobello Blue Cheese Burgers, Asian Barbecued Chicken, and even Spaghetti and Meatballs.   In the final step, you reduce the dosage and frequency of the medications you were taking to control your heartburn because you won’t need them anymore. The Acid Reflux Solution combines the latest medical research with reflux-friendly recipes to help you feel great, lose weight, and live heartburn free.

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.

Between the 15th and 18th August, 1969, I lost myself and found myself on a dairy farm in Bethel, New York.
