The full title is Food Pharmacy: A Guide To Gut Bacteria, Anti-Inflammatory Foods & Eating For Health but that’s too big for our title line. Lina Aurell’s got real pedigree in this field and her book comes heartily recommended by Dr Mark Hyman who wrote the Eat Fat, Get Thin New York Times bestseller. Basically, it’s a recipe book (sort of) for sorting out the microbiome in your gut and thus feel better all day every day. That’s the theory, at least, there’s nothing wrong with my gut but …

The Blue Zones (Second Edition)
This is the second great practical self-help book of the week and while I wasn’t quite as impressed by Dan Buettner’s The Blue Zones as I was with Susan David’s Emotional Agility, I am very glad to have read this book this January. The Blue Zones of the title are extraordinary places on earth where the citizens live much, much longer, healthier and happier lives than Americans do. Dan went to examine all of these places in detail to try and establish what it is that works so well in them and …

Salted
Wow! This cookbook is normally $32 in hardback, so this may be one of the deals of the year! Salted: A Manifesto on the World’s Most Essential Mineral with Recipes is Mark Bitterman’s (no pun, honest) guide to the use of artisanal salt and the power that it can have in different recipes. There are over 80 types of salt shown off in its pages and more than 50 recipes for you to make at home.
