The carnivore diet has been touted as a revolutionary, radical new approach to health, healing and fat loss. In truth, it’s simply a powerful, stripped-down form of ketogenic eating: essentially zero-carb, nutrient-dense, free from junk and refreshingly simple. Chances are you’ve already heard about it, seen a few videos, or even know someone who’s tried it. But what should be an easy and effective lifestyle has become clouded by extremes. The best approach depends on your own unique biology, lifestyle and goals. And Living the Ultimate Carnivore Lifestyle is here to help you figure out what that is. It’s a practical, adaptable guide designed to give you the tools and confidence to take control. Whether you want to reduce inflammation, heal your relationship with food, improve mental clarity or lose fat, this book will help you build a lifestyle that works for you. Part 1 elaborates on strict carnivore, relaxed carnivore and ketovore and how to find the right fit. It gives clear advice on creating a sustainable lifestyle with a complete four-phase implementation guide. It shows how to identify food triggers and answers questions on cholesterol, insulin, fibre and plant toxins, and teaches how to handle social pressure. Part 2 has easy-to-follow meal plans and shopping lists, while Parts 3 and 4 provide over 80 recipes to take the guesswork out of your journey, and a bonus entertainer menu for social occasions.

When being tired and hungry is the default setting of adult life, we crave comfort over complexity. That's the ethos of Home Food: real, delicious, achievable family food, hold the garnish. Food columnist and recipe writer Elizabeth Hewson's approach is all scaling down what cooking should be, so it can be nourishing and still enjoyable – less pressure, more ease. These are recipes that don't chase trends, viral moments, or complicated techniques. From an It's going to be OK midweek chicken stew, to a Soup for exhausted people (a real dump-and-simmer tomato and chicken heartener), to a whole chapter of one-pots and a range of midweek pastas – these recipes are for people living real, imperfect lives— the ones caught in the relentless rhythm of daily life. So what should Home Food really be? Flexible, permissive recipes 'with give', in case you don't have something at home and just need to get on with it. Sometimes you just need to throw something together, or one pot is the max that is going to get cleaned; or sometimes trying a little harder on the weekend, so you can batch for next week; and sometimes, well, you just want pasta followed by pudding. Including plenty of veg-forward recipes, plenty of tips and tricks for making the most of your precious moments in the kitchen, and delivered with the signature Hewson elegant ease, this is the book for when dinner needs to just be dinner – with a little nourishing nostalgia along the way.

75 recipes spanning cherished classics and modern interpretations, bringing the soul of Somali cooking to the world stage. Known by many names, the cape of spices, the nation of poets, and the land of cinnamon, Somalia is nestled in the Horn of Africa and is blessed with fertile fields, rich in spices, and endowed with the longest coastline in mainland Africa. This location and natural abundance have made Somalia a corridor between east and west, and a central point in global trade and migration, dating back millennia. In Soomaaliya, Ifrah F. Ahmed tells the story of her country through its history, its food, and its people. Somalia’s role in the spice trade yields xawaash, the most distinctive of Somali flavors, a heady blend of cumin, coriander, black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and turmeric that’s used in everything from marinades to stews. Cardamom also finds its ways into thin, fragrant crepes, sweet fried beignets called bur, and bariis, rice spiced with cardamom and cumin. This rice is paired hilib ari, tender goat meat stew that is a product of Somalia’s deep roots in herding and agrarianism. Baasto, or pasta, a relic of the long Italian colonial rule, is served with a range of simple tomato sauces to ragus. The bountiful waters supply fish freshly caught and fried. And for afternoon tea, a pot of spiced shaah, served with thick slices doolsho, an aromatic cardamom cake. These are a just a few of the over 70 recipes included that introduce the foundational flavors and tastes of the Somali palate. Through profiles of food producers, writers, and chefs, Ahmed shines a light on the many Somalis, at home and abroad, working to both preserve and transform the cuisine. Expansive and generous, and fueled by a deep love, Soomaaliya is a celebration of the richness of Somali food, and the remarkable resilience of its people.
