Are you at a point in your life where health is becoming more of a priority? Are you confused by ever-changing headlines that contrive to make the simple act of eating a peril rather than a pleasure? The Midlife Kitchen has the answers.

Midlife is not a time to be concerned with food fads & foibles, but rather a glorious opportunity to wrestle back control of your eating in the interests of health, happiness & a long life.

Taste must certainly come first, but with health firmly snapping at its heels, underpinned by well-established nutritional common sense. Busy lives require simple, sustaining recipes that incorporate health-giving ingredients without too much fanfare or fuss.

This book is not about clean-eating or super foods, detoxing or restriction. Instead, it is about building up a balanced & diverse diet, with less sugar, better fat & good carbs.
