Cooking Food and Wine

Easy, nutritious, delicious and affordable recipes from NHS GP Dr Chintal Patel that focus on what you can add to your and your family's plate to enhance your health. Make everyday cooking and eating at home as enjoyable and nourishing as possible, with accessible, affordable and tasty recipes the whole family will love, illustrated in full colour throughout. Specifically developed with challenges such as different tastes and diets, tight budgets and a lack of time in mind, Dr Chintal has taken the guesswork out of meal planning. No time? Turn to the 15-minute Meals or Time-saver Tray Bakes. A simple meal made from store-cupboard staples can still be delicious, nutritious and balanced. Or, when you're ready for a culinary adventure, dive into the Friday-night Feasts chapter. There are recipes for weeknights and for celebrations. Every recipe includes a vegetarian or vegan option, if it is not already vegetarian or vegan. Includes detail on the science of nutrition and how to easily put the theory into delicious practice. The focus is on which foods to include to enhance your diet for optimum nutrition and health and what you can add to your plate - rather than on restricting any foods, particularly those that you enjoy. More than just a cookbook, this is a guide to family-friendly cooking and nutrition, written by a doctor who understands the real-life challenges of working parents, who may sometimes have to feed fussy, young eaters.
