Women's Health Special 2020 Kitchen Secrets (UK)

Pacific Magazines Pty Ltd. — 164 p.You might say, judging by my reading habits, that I wasn’t your average 18-year-old. Because along with the pretentious novels and women’s magazine subscriptions, I was happiest when perched on a stool in my best friend’s kitchen, poring over recipe books and cooking magazines with her 40-something mum. I wasn’t a particularly zealous cook, nor a natural entertaining hostess – sadly, I haven’t fully mastered either role with age, not for want of trying – but I loved how good food could make people feel, how the sight of a vibrant plate could make me smile as well as salivate. A decade and a half later, with years as a health editor under my belt, I now know, too, the body-boosting, future-proofing, life-enhancing benefits that come with eating well. I feel privileged to be in a position that affords me insight into the science-backed nutritional knowledge that most don’t have access to, especially in a time when ‘rules’ and trends around healthy food can be overwhelming at best, misleading and dangerous at worst.
It’s why the team at Women’s Health have worked to create this nutrition guide – not only to offer 49 delicious and wholesome recipes you’ll keep coming back to, but to pass on much of the intel we’ve garnered from the world’s leading experts on nutrition. It ticks all the boxes and you’ll get a lot of use out of it – if a recipe book isn’t tattered at the edges, folded down at the corner of most pages and accidentally covered in colourful splashes and smears, it hasn’t really done its job. So make your way to a cosy welcoming kitchen (whether that’s yours, a friend’s or even a friend’s mum’s), pull up a stool and feast your eyes on the following 154 p.
Your taste buds and your stomach will thank you.
