Lesley Waters Livres

We all know that healthy eating needs to be more than just a fad or a quick-fix diet for two weeks before our summer holiday - it's essential for our continued mental and physical well-being. In this innovative, easy-to-follow cookbook, popular TV cook Lesley Waters shows you how to make healthy eating a positive pleasure. Healthy Food begins with an introduction to the basic principles or 'building blocks' essential to a good diet - balanced nutrition, key cooking methods such as griddling or steam-frying, useful equipment and healthy-eating habits. The subsequent recipe chapters cover all types of food - Soups, Chicken, Pasta and Rice - and provide scrumptious healthy recipes for all occasions from breakfasts and quick suppers, hearty family fare and puddings. Tempting recipes such as Chunky Pear and Vanilla Flapjacks, Smoked Haddock Tortilla and Lamb and Parsnip Ragout show that healthy eating is about a balanced approach to food, rather than depriving yourself of the foods you enjoy.

Millions of people are lactose intolerant - meaning they lack enough of the lactase enzyme to digest milk products properly. It is a common digestive problem that affects an estimated 9.5 million people in the UK alone. Others simply prefer to eliminate dairy as part of a "clean" diet. So, what to eat? In Deliciously Dairy Free, Lesley Waters provides more than 100 fresh and simple lactose-free recipes for healthy eating every day. Recipes range from White Bean Creamy Hummus with Broad Bean Salad & Dukkah to Coconut Rice Pudding with Griddled Pineapple, with cheats and swaps along the way so that die-hard dairy lovers can enjoy favourite dishes they're missing.
