The Kitchen Doctor Cookbook

Most of us know that the key to good health is a well-balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables. However, many foods also have potent healing properties and can actually help fight disease. This invaluable guide to the healing powers of food combines a practical reference section with a collection of delicious, health-giving recipes. It describes how different foods can be used to improve your health, which foods should be avoided to reduce the risk of certain conditions, and provides advice on how to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The recipe section includes dishes to suit every occasion, from soups, appetizers and salads to main courses, desserts, cakes and bakes. Each one shows which common allergens it is free from, and each health condition has its own easy-to-follow index of healing recipes to help you choose the right recipe for your diet.

This complete home guide to achieving and maintaining a healthier lifestyle by improving your diet includes over 300 healthy and nutritious recipes, specially chosen for their healing properties, each one with clear, step-by-step photographs and an at-a-glance ‘free-from’ coding. An illustrated reference section presents a wide range of health-giving foods, with details of their nutritional properties, and how to incorporate them into your diet, featuring advice on eating for health, foods to avoid and ways to build up a healthy store cupboard, and including commonsense guidance on food allergies, diabetes, cancer prevention, arthritis and heart disease and how they can be helped by good nutrition.
