#1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller New York Times Bestseller It's comfort food-redefined! Here are healthy meals the whole family can enjoy, night after night . . . What does comfort mean in The Comfortable Kitchen? For Alex Snodgrass, New York Times bestselling author of The Defined Dish, bringing her family around the table to share a home-cooked meal is a favorite way to show love. Her recipes are designed to bring joy into that display of affection, from your own comfort cooking to your loved ones' delight at the delicious flavors, to knowing that you're caring for your family's nutrition with each bite. Though many of her meals are fully paleo compliant, or at the very least paleo-ish, there are plenty of other recipes with simple, flexible ingredient swaps for a cleaner meal when desired-perfect for people who are enjoying their "food freedom" stage of their health journey. And for those who have dietary restrictions, Alex clearly marks each recipe as gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, and paleo, as appropriate. Alex brings back the joy of being in the kitchen for those at all levels of cooking skill and provides food for every occasion, with soups, salads, pasta, vegetarian and non-vegetarian mains, apps, and sides ranging from one-pot meals to not-so-junky junk food--and even cocktails and desserts--with recipes including: Cajun Chicken and Wild Rice Soup Green Curry Poached Halibut with Herbs Texas Style Brisket Tacos Herby Green Olive Pasta with Feta Sheet Pan Honey-Sesame Cauliflower Clayton's Margarita 7-Ingredient Almond Butter Cookies With 105 approachable and nutritious recipes for real, busy life, The Comfortable Kitchen is a must-have cookbook for everyone who cares about what they eat and what they make.
In Hungry for Change: Beyond the Paleo Diet, Niklas Gustafson offers us a thorough and detailed explanation of all aspects of the food we eat: from the vested interests of the food industry - one of the most powerful in the world - to the disastrous consequences of consuming too many refined carbohydrates and sugars. Hungry for Change provides the key elements to help us turn away from foods that potentially do us harm and, instead, to choose the most suitable foods for our body to thrive and be as healthy as possible. To help put into practice what is essentially a revolutionary change in our eating habits, the second part of the Hungry for Change contains a wide range of recipes based on an approach to nutrition that allows us to continue to evolve through more beneficial and healthier foods for our body. Whilst being healthy, these recipes are delicious and, in most cases, simple to prepare. Although the roots of the book are found in the Paleo Diet and its principles, this book goes further. Niklas Gustafson encourages us to listen to our bodies again and understand what feels good to us, without imposing norms or rules. He reminds us of the importance of rest, of contact with nature, of re-enjoying those around us, of living in a responsible way. In short, he proposes a change in our lifestyle to help us live longer, better and happier.

Why do most diets fail? Why does one person eat a certain meal and gain weight, while another eating the same meal loses pounds? Why, despite all the advice about what to eat, are we all still getting fatter? The answers are much more surprising - and fascinating - than we've been led to believe. The key to health and weight loss lies not in the latest fad diet, nor even in the simple mantra of 'eat less, exercise more', but in the microbes already inside us. Drawing on the latest science and his own pioneering research, Professor Tim Spector demystifies the common misconceptions about fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients. Only by understanding what makes our own personal microbes tick can we overcome the confusion of modern nutrition, and achieve a healthy gut and a healthy body.
