Book Synopsis'Cookery Book of The Year' Guild of Food Writers AwardsShortlisted for the André Simon AwardsNominated for The Bookseller Cookery Book Award, Sponsored by FoylesWhat happened when one of today's best-loved food writers had a change of appetite? Here are the dishes that Diana Henry created when she started to crave a different kind of diet - less meat and heavy food, more vegetable-, fish- and grain-based dishes - often inspired by the food of the Middle East and Far East, but also drawing on cuisines from Georgia to Scandinavia.Curious about what 'healthy eating' really means, and increasingly bombarded by both readers and friends for recipes that are 'good for you', Diana disocovered a lighter, fresher way of eating. From a Cambodian salad of prawns, grapefruit, toasted coconut and mint or North African mackerel with cumin to blood orange and cardamom sorbet, the magical dishes in this book are bursting with flavour, goodness and colour. Peppering the recipes is Diana's inimitable writing on everything from the miracle of broth to the great carbohydrate debate. Above all, this is about opening up our palates to new possibilities. There is no austerity here, simply fabulous food which nourishes body and soul.Trade ReviewDiana Henry's passion is infectious and her recipes tantalising. -- Hugh Fearnley-WhittingstallThere are just so many recipes I long to try out - my copy is littered with post-its. -- Nigella Lawson on Salt, Sugar, SmokeEverything Diana Henry cooks I want to eat. -- Yotam OttolenghiCan't wait to cook from it (reading this in bed this arvo). -- Nigella Lawson (tweeted on receiving her copy)As ever, her recipes are gorgeously greed-inducing, and the feel of the book - the beauty of its photographs should be mentioned here - is calmly but gloriously uplifting. -- Nigella LawsonAbsolutely gorgeous and so inspiring! -- Jack Monroe (author of A Girl Called Jack)A committed pleasure-monger, turning out really good recipes that scream to be made over and over again. -- Emma Sturgess * Metro *This is the cookbook we have all been waiting for. * Eat Travel Live Magazine *Our favourite food book so far this year. * Foodepedia *It's obvious which cookbooks are the most used on my kitchen shelf.

The results are light, fresh and full of flavour. -- Karen Barnes, Editor * Delicious *Henry's passion for food, as well as a considerable amount of research, shines through this book, which provides ample inspiration for a healthy menu with a difference. -- Neil Gerrard * Caterer & Hotelkeeper *One of the best flavour queens out there... the recipes are invigorating and lovely. * Bath Chronicle *Who says vegetables are boring? Diana Henry scoured the world for recipes that are 'good for you' but don't skimp in flavour. * The Times *Proof that healthy eating can be tasty too. * Time Out picks for 2014 *As featured in Best Food Books 2014 * The Week *In every one I tried, the flavors sparkled, the colors on the plate glowed, the dishes truly satisfied. * The New York Times *

Book SynopsisLeftovers can be so much more than the sum of their parts. Yesterday's dinner, last week's baking experiment, snack drawer remnants, and cheese drawer bits and bobs are all an opportunity to create something new and delicious. And the holidays-they're a leftovers goldmine!Here We Go Again is dedicated to the recipes your leftovers deserve, whether they're the classics in your rotation, the dishes that maybe didn't hit the spot the first time around, or those last-ditch meal efforts you throw at your kids, only to have half the macaroni still left in the pot. They're also perfect for ingredients that would otherwise be trash-bound-those carrots threatening to go soft, the bunches of kale from the overenthusiastic farmers' market haul, that half a loaf of bread getting harder by the day, the nubbins of cheese that don't seem good for anything other than late-night snacking. Or the dreaded 1 cup of sour cream or buttermilk inevitably left in the back of the fridge from when you made something else with it. Or maybe it's the chicken breasts or steaks you stocked up on when they were on sale and are now sitting in your freezer, waiting for an invitation to be used. And of course, it's all the food staring back at you from your fridge after a holiday meal (and worked way too hard on to throw away!)These are the dishes that we need right now-and in so many ways. We need to get food on the table, every meal, every day. We need to use the food that we have because we don't always know when we'll get to the store or how much we need to make our budget stretch. And above all else we need to take care of ourselves and our families with food that tastes good.
