READING
“For me, being healthy involves eating well and taking exercise. This sounds obvious, but it is important to
do these things in combination (though not necessarily at the same time!). To improve your diet without
exercising may allow you to lose weight or boost your health. But eating doesn’t have to be boring. 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 to eat the same things over and over again. These are my 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.”
