These are family-friendly dishes made for food lovers that are cost effective, diverse and backed by credible scientific advice.

Once you have some staple herbs and spices in the cupboard, tins of beans and basic ingredients, the recipes can be adapted for whatever vegetables are in season. To celebrate the publication of The Kitchen Prescription, we are gifting someone a virtual fridge exploration with Saliha, and a goody hamper full of gut health-friendly items. The more diversely we eat, the lower our risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression, and the more enhanced our immunity.Second, there have been few books that focus gut health and how to steer your food to help your biome. I have already used two of them, changed to available and cheap ingredients, and they were absolutely delicious (ratatouille and a curry). Gut-friendly breakfasts, immune-boosting lunches, quick family suppers and a host of simple, mostly plant-based dishes make up this colourful collection of recipes. Her work in the kitchen, in the hospital, in NHS canteens and in the wider community is to be hugely admired!
