From the Publisher
I have always said that chefs eat the best food and the worst in equal measure. They work with the freshest, most delicious ingredients available and cook them perfectly but they often rely on junk food and sugary snacks to get through the day, and finding time for exercise is really hard. When I was working in the restaurant at Royal Hospital Road, I never left the kitchen. Over time, I let myself get out of shape. It all changed when I started forcing myself to go to the gym for a run. I had to schedule it in like a trip to the dentist so I couldn’t get out of it! I started with 5km, then 10km, then, before I knew it, I was running my first marathon! Being fit made me feel great.
This is not a diet book telling you what (and what not) to eat, nor is it full of faddy ideas about eating cabbage soup or living off grapefruits or eating like a caveman. It works on the very simple premise that what you put into your body makes a difference to how it functions. It also acknowledges that the body has different requirements depending on what you are expecting it to do. If you are trying to lose a bit of weight you need to eat less than when you are maintaining a healthy weight, and when you are taking part in rigorous exercise you will need to fuel your body correctly to ensure it has the resources to deliver.
Finally, healthy eating doesn’t have to be dull! As a chef, I want the food that I eat to be tasty and satisfying as well as good for me. When I’m in training, I don’t want my taste buds to get bored by eating the same things over and over again. And I don’t ever want to feel deprived. These are my go-to recipes when I want to eat well at home, and my great hope is that they will inspire you to get cooking to improve your own health whatever your personal goal. Here’s to better health!
