Hazel Roadnight, Winstone’s Books

Eat Better Forever by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (Bloomsbury Publishing Dec. 2020) £26 (hardback) Sherborne Times Reader Offer Price of £24 from Winstone’s Books

Hugh has a plan. With his new book, he wants to help us all live better, healthier lives by engaging with a positive understanding of what the good foods for us are and how our lifestyles can be adapted for our own wellbeing.

His message is that by making the right choices more often than not, we can encourage a healthy functioning digestive system and a body that has an improved immune system. The last year, more than any other, has shown us how important being able to fight off a virus and stay healthy can be.

The volume of information circulating about what we should and shouldn’t be eating can so often be overwhelming and not help us at all but here, we get the bits we need.

The first half of this comprehensive book is split into seven sections. They make sense of the main points that can lead towards good health and guide you through the relevant information in areas you may not have thought about before. It’s not all about food either, there are really helpful areas on sleep, stress, exercise and mindfulness as well as an organising 7 day meal planner. The second half is all the delicious recipes, broken down into clear ingredient lists and good, straight-forward instructions.

As Hugh says, ‘all of the recipes are based on whole, high-fibre, gut-friendly ingredients. There’s the raw and the cooked, the hot and the cold, a lot of colour and every texture under the sun. They are the kind of recipes that will slot themselves easily into your routine, designed to become familiar, reliable favourites and smooth your path to eating better, every day.’

The photographs are vibrant and tempting and really make you want to get stuck into the year.
