About
Hello and welcome to The Gut Health Cookbook.
The book was created as a personal project that turned into something that I believe might just be helpful for many who, like me, would like hype-free tips and advice on how to improve their health through smart choices, in and out of the kitchen.
Why a gut health cookbook
I have always loved cooking. My interest in gut health began with a personal health challenge around the birth of my daughter, which coincided with the Covid-19 pandemic. Thanks principally to excellent healthcare, and a determination to explore every avenue for improvement, I came through it in a much better place.
Along the way I spent years reading the research, and kept coming back to the gut microbiome: how the trillions of microbes in our gut respond to what we eat, and how much a varied, plant-rich diet with plenty of fibre and fermented foods can support them.
The book doesn’t advocate any one way of eating. It focuses on whole food, mostly plants, made into dishes you actually want to cook again, inspired by the sun-drenched cooking of the Mediterranean.
