Our most used cookery book in the last few weeks has been The Doctor's Kitchen by Dr. Rupy Aujla.
I came across Dr. Rupy on Dr. Rangan Chatterjee's podcast* ; his episode is here, and in it he discussed the health issue of his own which inspired him to change (among other lifestyle factors) his diet, use food as medicine, and devise his own recipes. He practises what he now preaches to his patients, and his collection of 100 tasty, quick dishes - all of them using nutrient-dense ingredients for substance and flavour - is well worth looking out for.
Among our favourites so far are Middle Eastern Mackerel with Green Hummus, Chestnut and Thyme Peas with Broccoli, Ginger and Carrot Oats (particularly good porage), and Persian Chicken Thighs with Roasted Carrots and Tahini Yoghurt.
Dr. Rupy's Youtube channel will show you the sort of thing he does.
*the source of much fascinating information, e.g. the latest episode on the gut-brain connection with the engaging nutritionist/neuroscientist Miguel Toribio-Mateas.
I'll look out for this. It's so obvious that what we fuel our bodies with will affect our health and wellbeing but we all have our eating habits. The gut-brain connection is absolutely fascinating. There's a load of research going on about links to depression, etc. Have you read The Psychobiotic Revolution?

No, I haven't, Sam, but thanks for mentioning it. The subject is fascinating.
