A Change of Appetite by Diana Henry
Britain's celebrated food writer, Diana Henry, is a woman of many passions but she is especially keen about writing and food. In her new cookbook, A Change of Appetite: Where Delicious Meets Healthy (Mitchell Beazley, $34.99), she is celebrating, rather than dwelling on, her body's changing needs and in doing so has created fresh and robust meals sure to satisfy all foodies looking for inspiration rather than sacrifice. Beautiful photographs capture sumptuous berries, breads, fruits, and veggies for all seasons. Among the pages you will find what Henry calls "accidentally healthy" recipes inspired by her love of Middle Eastern and Scandinavian cuisine. This is food that is full of flavor but not refined carbs like the ubiquitous albatross of the processed food world—sugar—the only ingredient that Henry actively keeps to a minimum in her recipes. She also includes short essays and a thoroughly researched bibliography rich with resources for more wholesome and nourishing fare.
