Nadia Sawalha has always loved cooking but until recently rarely ate her own food. Like a lot of women whilst her family tucked in to delicious dishes she nibbled on diet food. Later ravenously hungry she binged somehow convincing herself that the calories didn't count if nobody saw her eating them. Two years ago after decades of fluctuating weight she decided enough was enough: * She wasn't going to start a new diet tomorrow. * She wasn't going to start a new diet ever again. * She was going to eat normal meals with her family & most importantly she was going to do so for the rest of her life. Since then Nadia has lost & kept off 31/2 stone by simply throwing away the diet books. Instead she shaved off the hidden calories all without anyone noticing. A little less oil here a different cut of meat there; brown rice instead of white more herbs spices & colour; & a dessert every day! The result is The Greedy Girl's Diet which is packed with more than 100 delicious recipes & Nadia's invaluable tips & advice on how to achieve a slim fit & healthy body. ...

The UK's most influential food & drink journalist shoots a few of the sacred cows of the food world. The doctrine of local food is dead. Farmers' markets are merely a lifestyle choice for the affluent middle classes. & 'organic' has become little more than a marketing label that is way past its sell by date. That may be a little hard to swallow for the ethically-aware food shopper but it doesn't make it any less true. & now the UK's most outspoken & entertaining food writer is ready to explain why. This engaging witty & honest narrative is driven by the appetite of one large man: Jay Rayner
- someone who lives to eat but also understands that there is a world beyond the high-end obsessions of the farmers' market. Combining sharply-observed memoir
- growing up with the UK's most famous agony aunt who also happened to be a bloody good TV chef; witnessing the arrival of Mc Donald's & Dayville's ice cream in Seventies London; working as a butcher's boy
- with hard-nosed reportage Jay Rayner will blow conventional foodie wisdom apart. For here is the reality: within a few decades we will have nine billion mouths to feed & we won't be doing that by flogging free-range eggs from a stall in Borough market. Jay explains why the doctrine of organic has been eclipsed by the need for sustainable intensification; & why the future lies in large-scale food production rather than the cottage industries that foodies often cheer for. From the the cornfields of Illinois to the killing lines of Yorkshire abattoirs Rayner takes us on a journey that will change the way we shop cook & eat forever. & give us a few belly laughs along the way.
