Eat Yourself Happy
Dr M T Isaac and Dr M B Isaac
2004
p/b

Not only do we need to eat food to stay in good physical health, but also it has an immense value to our mental health. Nowadays everyone seems to be living in the fast lane, which in many cases can lead to fatigue, depression, sleeplessness and anxiety, partly because we don't always have time to prepare the nutritious food we all need. This book is very good at explaining why we need to take more care of what we eat.
There are several sections covering many aspects we may come across sometime in our life. From addiction and cravings, eating disorders, memory problems, to migraine, low mood and depression, plus many more. Included are several recipes for breakfast, light snacks and soups, main dishes and desserts, together with detoxing, juices, and quick and easy ways that you could improve on your favourite foods.

Divine - Heavenly Chocolate Recipes
Linda Collister h/b
2007

For those who love chocolate, and the thought of conjuring up endless chocolate delights in the kitchen AND with the extra knowledge that all the recipes are made with FAIRTRADE chocolate, then this is the book for you!
Linda Collister is a long time supporter of fair trade and offers a wide variety of recipes, from sticky upside-down chocolate pear gingerbread and red hot chilli-pepper chocolate cake to iced chocolate tiramisu and crab risotto with white chocolate.
The cocoa beans for the Divine chocolate are grown by farmers who are members of Kuapa Kokoo cooperative in Ghana. These farmers receive an internationally agreed fair trade price for the cocoa beans, and because it is a cooperative they also co-own the company, they also share in its profits.
The first couple of chapters give a really interesting insight, including highlighting the story of Divine and a few tips about chocolate in general. Wonderful colour photographs throughout.
All royalties from the sale of this book benefit the farmers of Kuapa Kakoo and their chocolate company.

Comes with a free 100g bar of 70% Darkly Divine chocolate, just to help you get started!

The text for each is also very explanatory, including identification, habitat and which season to look for them.
There are 100 step-by-step photographed recipes with loads of hints and tips throughout. If you are using bought (for which the range is now getting interestingly varied) or you pick your own, there is a recipe here for you to try. So whether you want to eat them for breakfast, as a soup, with meat, fish or as a vegetarian dish, just look the recipes up in this book.
Definitely value for money.

Bad Food Britain
Joanna Blythman
2006 p/b

Why is it that recipe books are constantly in the best seller lists and people spend more time watching celebrity chefs cooking on TV (there should be a joke here about 'couch potatoes) than doing any cooking themselves?
This country seems obsessed with safety and provenance of food, but resents paying for quality. We consume more junk food than the rest of Europe put together, in fact we are second only in notoriety to the USA in the bad food stakes.
Award winning investigative food journalist, Joanna Blythman, author of 'Shopped' and 'The Food We Eat', amongst others, takes us on a fresh, provocative and often funny journey through Britain's food landscape. It appears we are populated by industry lobbyists chanting self-serving mantras, spineless politicians, food hygiene zealots, processed food corporations posing as liberators of women and 'New You" food gurus. In this book the author uncovers the deeply engrained attitudes and practices that feed the nation's growing food illiteracy.
It seems difficult to some of us of how we have managed to be in this state when there are many farmers' markets, farm shops and organic food being grown in this country.
An eye-opening book.

Shopped
Joanna Blythman
2004
An eye opener which reveals the truth about the domination that supermarkets have on the quality of our food. Joanna Blythman delves into 'behind the scenes' story of how our food is sourced and sold. Currently supermarkets have 80% of the UK grocery market. For instance, two of the UK giant baking companies provide two-thirds of the bread eaten in this country, and one company provides a quarter of all the pre-packed sandwiches sold in British supermarkets. Fruit and vegetable wholesalers and growers lament on the supermarkets requirements for right size, colour and shape of produce. Worcester Pearmain apples, which are traditionally pear shaped, were rejected as they were not round enough to fit into their plastic display shelves.
All these 38-ton trucks trawling for merchandise account for 40% of lorry traffic on our roads - doesn't it make sense to buy local?
We can have a say in what we eat, and at the same time help save the plight of our farmers and independent shops. Blythman shows we can change our food shopping habits, which will support this country to be small, local and diverse. So if you are in the least bit interested in what goes on your plate, read this book and understand why it is important to start eating in a healthy way for you, your family and the planet.

Wholefoods
2004
Nicola Graimes
The sub title of this book is "a cook's kitchen handbook" which it definitely is. Part one gives a fascinating visual guide to every kind of natural wholefood, from fruit and vegetables, and in fact all store cupboard goodies. It also gives essential facts about key health benefits and the nutritional value of each food. Part two is full of health giving recipes - over 100, with full colour photographs.
Open this book and even someone not that interested in cooking will be! I know there are loads of recipe books but this is definitely one of the best, and it is a sensible size (17x21cm).

Not On The Label
Felicity Lawrence
2004
We seem to go from food scare to food scare while farming is in crisis around the world. It seems that a few retailers and food manufacturers have so much control over what we eat and where to buy it.
In a series of investigations Felicity Lawrence travels from farms and factories to packhouses and lorry depots across the world. She reveals how we can no longer trust what we eat. Blighted town centres, environmentally ravaged fields in Europe and obesity are just some of the many problems that are intricately woven into our new globalisation and industrial system of food production.
This book really does make a statement: buying locally produced food in the right season is definitely one of the main ways to go.
