THE DETOX KITCHEN BIBLE
(£25, Bloomsbury)
At rst glance, this cookbook from chef
Lily Simpson and nutritionist Rob Hobson
makes for a dispiriting read: meat protein
is reduced to anaemic-looking poultry
dishes and there's no wheat, dairy, or
re ned sugar. Give it a chance though, because you don't have to
be a militant vegetarian to think we all eat too much meat these
days, and while quinoa pizza might not be for everyone, the likes
of stir-fried okra, cauli� ower and tomato are as healthy as they are
tasty, while the grilled peaches with roast hazelnut and raspberry
coulis I made was so nice that the fact it was rich in vitamin C and
useful for immunity - all the recipes have a list of bene ts, as well
as calorie information - felt like a bonus. There's also a really
interesting 100-page nutritional section at the back of the book.
