Did you know that 62% of the food in our supermarkets is not only
processed but 'ultra-processed' (ingredients from other foods are
combined to make something 'new', often in colours that do not exist in
nature) and that data shows that by eating this kind of food over time
we are literally slowly poisoning ourselves?

From a New York Times bestselling author, a guide to restoring good bacteria to your gut–and keeping our microbiomes happy and healthy. Because of our highly processed diet, pesticides, and overuse of antibiotics, our guts are now missing so many of the good bacteria that we require to be healthy. As a result, many of us have lost control over our health, weight, mood, and even behavior. With cutting-edge research, Dr. Davis connects the dots between gut health and modern ailments such as SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), a silent and profound epidemic, which affects one out of three people and is responsible for an astounding range of human health conditions. Super Gut shows us how to fix your microbiome once and for all. It includes more than forty recipes, a diet plan, and resources so you can pinpoint your gut issues, correct them, and maintain your long-term health and well-being.

Easy, delicious, and creative plant-based snacks from viral TikTok sensation Halle Burns a.k.a. @BalleHurns, perfect for full-time vegans and plant-curious, healthy eaters. Halle Burns was still in college when she started posting viral videos about plant-based cooking on TikTok, and now millions of fans follow her for soothingly narrated content and easy, sharable recipe ideas. Since Halle was on a student budget at the time and often only had her trusty air fryer to do the actual cooking, she needed to become creative to fulfill her cravings in the simplest way possible. Recipes had to be attainable and foolproof too, which meant using affordable ingredients, accessible in every grocery store. They needed to be quick to prepare using as few ingredients as possible, like her two-ingredient Tofu Dough or her Spicy Citrus Vinaigrette, which can be made in advance and used to jazz up any vegetable. And when you’re in the mood for carbs but don’t have bread in the kitchen, Emergency Bread can be baked in a flash in a microwave oven. Now, Call Me Vegan offers even more essential, lifesaving (and time-saving) recipes for every occasion that you won’t find anywhere else. Her Snacks that Smack chapter includes Rice Paper Bacon Snack Strips, Kale Puffs, Crunchy Mushroom Crisps, and her spicy Angry Edamame. There are breakfast recipes like Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Bowl and Chunky Cocoa-Banana Stovetop Granola. Of course, there are main dishes too like Lasagna Roll-Ups, Mushroom Pulled Pork, and Cheesy Vegan Mac. There are also basics like Mixed Berry Chia Jam, Instant Plant Milk, and Tofu Cream Cheese, along with tips for stocking your pantry and essential kitchen tools—making this the perfect book for plant-based lifestyle newcomers and longtime vegans who are searching for easy ways to be more adventurous in the kitchen.

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.
