  Adam Palmer is Head Chef at Champneys, the health resort at Tring in Hertfordshire. Here he presents 130 recipes which are representative of the straightforward Champneys approach to positive health through moderate and balanced eating. Palmer is keen to dispel the familiar misconception of carrot juice and lettuce leaves as the staple food of the health-conscious, and the recipes have a wide range of variety and appeal, from lamb and sweetbread ravioli to variants on the more traditional duck-breast roasted with lentils and kumquat marmalade. Each one is supplemented with the relevant nutritional information - calorific count, and fat and fibre content. Many of them are low in calories, but are equally suitable for those wanting a healthy and enjoyable meal.
