Synopsis


What happened when one of today's best-loved food writers had a change of appetite? Here are the dishes that Diana Henry created when she started to crave a different kind of diet - less meat and heavy food, more vegetable-, fish-, and grain-based dishes - often inspired by the food of the Middle East and Far East, but also drawing on cuisines from Georgia to Scandinavia.

In her year of good eating, Diana lost weight, but this was about much more than weight loss - lead by taste, it was about discovering a healthier, fresher way of eating. From a Cambodian salad of shrimps, grapefruit, toasted coconut, and mint or North African mackerel with cumin to blood orange and cardamom sorbet, the
magical dishes in this book are bursting with flavor, with goodness and with color. Peppering the recipes is Diana's inimitable writing on everything from the miracle of broth to the great carbohydrate debate. Above all, this is about opening up our palates to new possibilities. There is no austerity here, simply fabulous food that nourishes body and soul.

Yotam Ottolenghi Plenty More and Diana Henry's A Change of Appetite indicate that British cooks may have surpassed us with their inventive flavor combinations and adoption of international ingredients.--Melissa Clark, The New York Times
Her book is full of bright ideas, as well as one of the most thoughtful directions ever written by a British chef for an American audience, appended to her recipe for salmon grilled in damp newspaper with dill and cucumber sauce. Directions to use a broadsheet newspaper are because of size, not the content of the newspaper, she writes. USA Today is a national newspaper that is the right size.
--New York Times Book Review
I felt the book and I were destined to become true friends.

A tome you can eat your way through all year long.--Houston Chronicle

If chicken is a slab of marble, Henry is Michelangelo--Entertainment Weekly
