Back to Monday again, hope everyone had a good weekend and made the most of the weather. I think I lost my soul celebrating a friends birthday all weekend and need a week to recover and get some sleep back!
At the moment I have really become obsessed with cooking and being healthy, is a big part of my life and is really becoming a big, fashionable thing in our lives now. Therefore I thought after such a heavy weekend I would share my top five, favourites to help regenerise ourselves and get some health back into our or rather my abused body.
River Cottage Light & Easy by Hugh Fearnely Whittinghall
A great Christmas present (thanks mum), it holds tasty delicious, homely, comforting meals. Like it says on the cover, simple and easy! Also a very pretty book too and I was taken aback because of the size it was and the amount of recipes that were in there, making it great value for money. A great variety of recipes and brilliant if you are also gluten and lactose free! Now £6.00 on Amazon!
Lean in 15 by Joe Wicks
One man who is on everyone's lips at the moment (pun intended) is the big star of the moment, Joe Wicks. Book one and two are now huge sellers, with tasty, quick nutritional, protein filled meals, designed to be quick and simple. Joe also incorporates a section on simple excercises, that promise to get you fit in no time without necessarily having to use a gym. I am completed addicted to these books at the moment and I think they are on offer in Tesco too. Definitely try all the shakes, they are heavenly, especially Malteser geazer.
Davina McCall 5 weeks to Sugar Free
One of a few cookery books Davina has released and my favourite out of her collection. I chose this because I am a sugar addict, like her everyday at some point or at a lot of points in the day I want to eat sugar. So I purchased this to follow her plan, stop this behaviour but understand it too. With easy, delicious replacement snacks instead of chocolates and sweets, come great recipes the whole family will enjoy. Great as well if you are trying to be on a diet. Instead of using refined sugar, which is bad for us, Davina encourages the use of natural sugar replacements, like honey and maple syrup.
Inspiralized by Ali Maducci
When the huge trend of spiralizing came in a year or two ago, I really got into and using my machine became so much fun. So instead of making my homemade turkey meatballs and courgetti, I decided to invest in this spiralizer cooking book, to inject some more inspirational ideas. Clear information, good pictures and easy, tasty recipes to follow. A great way to learn more about what to spiralize and to get involved with more spiralizing dishes.
Deliciously Ella
Deliciously Ella, which has become another huge culinary hit in the kitchen, with both books selling in vast quantities and a woman and mothers favourite! Good amount of easy, 'delicious' (sorry) recipes, with beautifully, pretty photos. Healthy, nutritious and a great one to have on your shelf. Try her brownie recipes, they are amazing and melt in your mouth. Great if you are gluten, dairy free and want to avoid refined sugars. Allow a bit more cooking and prep time with this one and in the supermarket looking for most of the ingredients.
I really hope my little cookbook list has inspired you or at least motivated you into thinking that maybe you can pull through the Monday slump. Enjoy the rest of the day, I am off for a shake now, maybe a Jos Wilks one.
Lots of love
