While postpartum depression has become a recognizable condition,
this is the first book to treat root causes of mommy brain, baby
blues, and other symptoms that leave mothers feeling exhausted. Any
woman who has read What to Expect When You're Expecting needs a
copy of The Postnatal Depletion Cure. Filled with trustworthy
advice, protocols for successful recovery, and written by a
compassionate expert in women's health, this book is a guide to
help any mother restore her energy, replenish her body, and reclaim
her sense of self. Most mothers have experienced pain,
forgetfulness, indecision, low energy levels, moodiness, or some
form of baby brain. And it's no wonder: The process of growing a
baby depletes a mother's body in substantial ways--on average, a
mother's brain shrinks 5% during pregnancy, and the placenta saps
her of essential nutrients that she needs to be healthy and
contented. But with postnatal care ending after 6 weeks, most women
never learn how to rebuild their strength and care for their bodies
after childbirth. As a result, they can suffer from the effects of
depletion for many years, without knowing what's wrong as well as
getting the support and treatments that they need.

Hugh's River Cottage Veg Every Day! became the UK's best-selling
vegetable cookbook, persuading us through sheer temptation to make
vegetables the mainstay of our daily cooking. In this
much-anticipated follow-up, Hugh delivers more irresistible
recipes, and this time, takes things one step further. Fuelled by
his passionate belief that plant foods should be the dominant force
in our kitchens, Hugh has put cheese, butter, cream, eggs, and
refined flour and sugar firmly to one side. Instead, he uses veg,
fruit, wholegrains, nuts, seeds, spices and cold-pressed oils to
explore the length and breadth of what can be achieved with
natural, unprocessed plant foods. River Cottage Much More Veg!
makes it clear that unadulterated ingredients are the very best
building blocks for delicious and healthy meals. In typical Hugh
style, the recipes are easy, utterly foolproof and delicious. All
but a handful are gluten-free, and at least half the dishes require
20 minutes (or less) hands-on work time. With recipes such as Roast
squash and chickpeas with spicy apricot sauce, Blackened
cauliflower with pecans and tahini, Spiced beetroot, radicchio and
orange traybake, Celeriac and seaweed miso broth, Seared summer
cabbage with rosemary, chilli and capers, and Baked celery
agrodolce, River Cottage Much More Veg! demonstrates how easy it is
to make versatile, plentiful and delicious vegetables the bedrock
of your diet.
