A healthy diet with appropriate energy and nutrients will make you feel energetic, positive, healthy, fit, strong and confident.

Every day is different, so recipes are devised based on what you should be eating at different times, whether you're in active or recovery mode. Recipes are broken down into two broad categories: higher carbohydrate recipes for fuelling your performance or supporting recovery on exercise days, and lower carbohydrate recipes, which are more relevant to active recovery days (when less carbohydrate is required). These versatile recipes can be personalised to any health or performance goal, including improving body composition by lowering body fat and increasing muscle mass. Backed up by the latest scientific literature translated into easy-to-understand practical information, these simple and delicious recipes will help to raise your game and improve your health and performance.

People say happiness and health starts in the gut and studies have shown this to be true. The health of the gut is linked to alleviating stress and anxiety, reducing skin problems, boosting the immune system and more. In addition to keeping a healthy diet and being active, you can aid your gut health by consuming probiotic foods and drinks by way of fermentation. What are probiotics? Probiotics are live cultures and bacteria that help keep the gut healthy. Probiotic drinks such as kombucha and kefirs are becoming ever more popular in the world of health drinks, coming in very close to cold-pressed juices and smoothies. Lesser known probiotic drinks like beetroot kvass, jun and tepache all have the same fermented goodness, not to mention the delight they bring to the taste buds. Some fermentations require the aid of living cultures like grains and scobys while others ferment all on their own these are called wild fermentations. Each fermentation requires a little tending and care, but nothing more than five minutes of your day. This book is divided into five chapters exploring both fermented drinks made with cultures and wild fermented drinks. Each chapter starts with a basic recipe and instructions for the foundation drink followed by different variations based from that drink. Soon enough, the fizzy delights will tickle your taste buds, not to mention bring joy and health to your gut.
'Without preaching, this argues for eating meat in a better way, sustainably, ethically, intelligently and with an understanding of farming' - Diana Henry, The Daily Telegraph This book is a celebration of proper meat. Meat as it was before it got messed with. Before animals became a unit of production, but were reared to produce excellent food, and were willingly given an equally excellent life. It explores the connection between nature and farming and the result is a mixture of hands-in-the-earth wisdom and balanced seasonal recipes. Meat is revered and stretched as far as we can make it go by respecting the animal and using every part, cheek to lard, tendon to tail. The recipes are not just meat and two veg, but provide cooking that is devised for the way we live today. Think a modernised version of warming farmhouse food, to suit the weather and our homes. Fast, fresh, surprising dishes for midweek, and slow-cooking or theatre pieces shared with friends for weekends and holidays. Far from countering the vegan spike, this is the definition of fair, honest, sustainable food. This is meat done right.
