The food stories behind your favourite fruits and vegetables.
Have you ever wondered who picked your Fairtrade banana? Or why we can buy British strawberries in April? How far do you think your green beans travelled to get to your plate? And where do all the wonky carrots go? Above all, how do we stop worrying about our food choices and start making decisions that make a difference?
In an effort to make sense of the complex food system we are all part of, Louise Gray decides to track the stories of our five-a-day from farm to fruit bowl, and discover the impact that growing fruits and vegetables has on the planet.
Through visits to farms, interviews with scientists and trying to grow her own, she digs up the dirt behind organic potatoes, greenhouse tomatoes and a glut of courgettes.
In each chapter, Louise answers a question about a familiar item in our shopping basket. Is plant protein as good as meat? Is foraged food more nutritious? Could bees be the answer to using fewer chemicals? How do we save genetic diversity in our apples? Are digital apps the key to reducing food waste? Is gardening good for mental health? And is the symbol of clean eating, the avocado, fuelling the climate crisis?
As pressure grows via social media to post pictures of food that ticks all the boxes in terms of health and the environment, these food stories from the author of the award-winning The Ethical Carnivore are also a personal story of motherhood and the realisation that nothing is ever perfect.> -

CALM YOUR MIND WITH FOOD - A REVOLUTIONARY GUIDE TO CONTROLLING YOUR ANXIETY
Uma Naidoo
- Bloomsbury
- 4 Janvier 2024
- 9781526664488
When it comes to fighting anxiety, you have more control than you think.
We''re in the middle of a global anxiety epidemic, but in Calm Your Mind With Food, Dr Uma Naidoo gives you the tools to take back control, walking you through how a combination of practice, an understanding of how the brain works and a diet that creates a strong foundation for mental health will allow you to overcome your anxiety.
Recent research has shown that the gut, brain and immune system are surprisingly connected; few people realise that we have an immune system in our gut, and it greatly affects our mental health, specifically our tendency towards anxiety. In this ground-breaking study, Dr Naidoo reveals how treating anxiety requires a full-body approach.
Food can be an indispensable tool in improving mental health, and all of us can combine healthy ingredients into delicious, nourishing, anxiety-busting meals. Here, Dr Naidoo reveals the anxiety superfoods and the foods we should avoid, as well as providing mouth-watering recipes, helping us become immune to anxiety. The power is at the end of your fork.> -
HOW TO EAT 30 PLANTS A WEEK - 100 RECIPES TO BOOST YOUR HEALTH AND ENERGY
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
- Bloomsbury
- 9 Mai 2024
- 9781526672520
With an introduction by Tim Spector, bestselling author and founder of ZOE
"The advice that we should all be eating lots of plants is now widely accepted as the common denominator for ALL healthy diets," says Hugh, "and the idea that 30 different plants a week is about optimal has widespread scientific support. It''s been informing my way of cooking for a while now, and I''m here to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for the 30-plant mission in the most delicious ways possible."
30 plants may sound a lot, but in Hugh''s expert hands it feels like an easy win, for the delicious meals as much as the incredible health benefit. Central to these is great gut health, and an introduction by gut-health guru Tim Spector explains why Hugh is bang on target to deliver the goods.
In this book, Hugh shows you how to get many more plants on your plate, with people-pleasing plant-only dishes at the fore, as well as some humdingers with a little well-chosen meat or fish along for the ride. By plants, Hugh means fruit and veg and much more besides - including nuts, seeds, pulses, grains, herbs, spices, chocolate and even coffee.
With plant ingredients numbered by both chapter and recipe, and overlaps kept to a minimum, it''s easy to keep a count and rack up your weekly plant score. Simply by choosing a few recipes from the book each week, and deploying some of Hugh''s "plant top-up tips" in your general cooking, you''ll soon be nailing your 30 plants and more, week after week. With Hugh to show you the way, this isn''t just going to be doable: it''s going to be easy, it''s going to be fun, and most of all it''s going to be delicious.> -
GOOD NATURE ; WHY SEEING, SMELLING, TOUCHING HEARING PLANTS IMPROVES OUR HEALTH,
Kathy Willis
- Bloomsbury
- 29 Août 2024
- 9781526664907
Good Nature is a groundbreaking exploration that reveals how, if we bring nature more into our lives, it can help improve our health and well-being in so many unexpected ways.
Oxford professor Kathy Willis has spent her career researching fossilised plants and plant matter - but when she stumbled across a study that showed that patients recovering from surgery improved faster just by being able to see trees from their hospital bed, it radically changed the way she viewed the natural world.
Professor Willis has since embarked on a process of discovery to find the research that has shown, time and time again, that there is a causal link between plants in our lives, both indoors and outside, and better physical and mental health. Consulting plant scientists and biologists, medical practitioners and psychiatrists, city planners and government health authorities, she encourages us to transform how we design and inhabit our environments.
There are simple changes we can all make in our homes: for example, the scent of rosemary will make you more awake; green-and-yellow-leaved houseplants are the best at reducing stress; and touching and stroking untreated wooden surfaces can lower our blood pressure. But we can also think on a much grander scale: prescribing more nature in streets, offices and our homes will not only save money but improve the health of us all.
Focusing on how we interact with nature through the senses of sight, smell, hearing and touch, Good Nature explains how we can organise our homes, our time outdoors and the world around us to reap the health benefits of nature that science is only now just discovering. -

'Hill's advice is straightforward and no-nonsense' - The Guardian 'A life-transforming book. fascinating - Daily Mail 'Maisie Hill has written a bloody brilliant book (pun intended). Everything you need to know about periods and how they affect you and your life is here. It's revolutionary' - Miranda Sawyer 'Thank GOODNESS for Maisie Hill! Flipping open the lid on a vital conversation. It's about time we claimed the power of our periods!' - Gemma Cairney, broadcaster & co-founder of Boom Shakalaka Productions 'This is such an important book. Maisie's insights and cycle strategy have changed my life and my cycle. Period Power is written with such intelligence, humour and a deep understanding of women's health. If you have a period you need to read this book.' - Anna Jones, author of The Modern Cook's Year A profound and practical blueprint for aligning daily life with your menstrual cycle.
Period Power is the handbook to periods and hormones that will leave you wondering why the hell nobody told you this sooner.
The hormones of the menstrual cycle profoundly influence our energy, mood and behaviour, but all too often we're taught that our hormones make us unreliable, moody bitches, or that it's our lot in life to put up with 'women's problems'. Maisie Hill, a women's health practitioner, knows the power of working with the menstrual cycle and refuses to accept this theory. Instead, Maisie believes that our hormones are there to serve us and, if utilized correctly, can be used to help you get what you want out of life. Yes, we are hormonal, and that's a very good thing.
This revolutionary book reveals everything you need to know about taking control of your menstrual cycle and outlines The Cycle Strategy to help us perform at our best, throughout our cycle. In Period Power you will discover how to:
- maximise your natural superpowers each month while making adjustments for the darker days, and use Maisie's favourite tips to improve them - identify your personal patterns, powers and pitfalls for each phase of the menstrual cycle - plan your month to perform at your best in all aspects of your life - figure out if you have a hormonal imbalance and what to do about it.
Period Power is a no-nonsense guide with all the tools you need to improve your menstrual health.

PERIMENOPAUSE POWER - NAVIGATING YOUR HORMONES ON THE JOURNEY TO MENOPAUSE
Maisie Hill
- Bloomsbury
- 4 Mars 2021
- 9781472978868
Perimenopause Power is a handbook that exudes calm positivity and makes sense of complex physiological processes in an easy-to-understand manner to help women understand what the hell''s going on with them and provide instruction on what can be done to improve their experience of the dreaded ''change''. Maisie Hill delves into the science of menopause in an accessible way and provides a whole slew of tips to see women through the challenge of wildly fluctuating hormones. There is a glaring gap in the market for a well-researched, evidence-based book on menopause that empowers women to address their issues and have conversations with loved ones and their doctors.
Three quarters of women experience symptoms such as mood changes, insomnia, hot flushes, and night sweats, but there is little in the way of evidence-based information out there to help them presented in a way that''s engaging and helpful.
Perimenopause Power will appeal to women experiencing perimenopause and menopause who don''t want to be made to feel that they''re old and decrepit. Women will buy Perimenopause Power because they want to understand what''s going on with their bodies and how to deal with troublesome symptoms, but also gain valuable insights into making it a positive and powerful experience.> -

- 9781399411103
Learn how to incorporate traditional yoga into your modern practice - and feel the benefits.
Yoga in its traditional form is a practice focused on inclusivity, inner work and peace. But the yoga that is practised today in the West has got a little lost along the way. In this accessible beginner''s guide, Indian yoga teacher Nikita Desai brings us back to the authentic roots of this ancient practice.
In A Beginner''s Guide to the Roots of Yoga, Desai unpicks the complexities of the modern yoga space. Moving away from the focus on physical poses, she delves into traditional resources to show how yoga can help your mental and spiritual wellbeing.
With a range of enlightening essays, she explores why change in the industry is vital, before centring key yogic texts, philosophy and history in a digestible manner to give you a basic understanding of the origins of yoga. Desai then guides you through integrating these foundations into your current practice both on and off the mat, so you can enjoy the benefits of the tradition while helping to make yoga today a more inclusive and diverse space.
A Beginner''s Guide to the Roots of Yoga is the perfect companion for anyone wanting to make their practice more authentic.>
