About this title

Review

'Sit back, and let Nick Barnard guide you through the daily minefield of choosing what to eat by applying time-honoured, food-loving principles.' --Joanna Blythman

'Be prepared to be wowed, angered, frustrated, surprised, satisfied and shocked. You wonder whether you and everyone else should be more knowledgeable about what's in the book automatically, but we aren't and neither are millions of educated people...I think the book will go far in revitalising the land we love by helping people to change their views, their passion and their perceptions.' Cyrus Todiwala

'At last. A healthy book by someone who knows what they're talking about.' Diana Henry

'From the founder of cereal makers Rude Health comes a refreshing book focusing on traditional methods of cooking rather than modern fad-diets. Barnard argues that gluten-free dairy-free diets are not necessary for most people and instead encourage the use of good animal fats, grass-fed meats and dairy, as well as sprouted, cultured, fermented and activated foods.' --Daily Telegraph

'This long awaited book from the founder of brilliant food brand Rude Health, is the best I have seen in a long time. I have a new bible and the name says it all.' Gizzi Erskine

'Eat Right is all about healthy eating, but not as the modern, diet-prone world knows it.[...] 135 dishes such as rice and chicken porridge, sausage and chickpea stew and spelt gingerbread - the type of food that makes you eat less, waste less and re-use more.' Carolyn Hart, Daily Telegraph

'The other book keeping me up at night is Eat Right, by Nick Barnard, co-founder of Rude Health and one of my healthy food heroes. There are no gluten-free alkaline fads here. Instead this hefty hardback offers traditional food wisdom and honest food values with statements such as pig fat is wonderful and useful comment on fish farming. It's my kind of book. What appeals to me especially is the lack of pseudo-science health advice; instead there is real food wisdom and lovely writing here. There are 135 recipes here too - last night I made Kasha, a hearty Russian soup made from buckwheat and this evening I am tackling spicy potted wild prawns. If a simpleton like me can manage it, anyone can.' Ian Marber, Daily Telegraph

'Want to learn how to slow down, eat right and feel brilliant? This book will show you the way.' The Telegraph

'sensible, passionate, well written and packed full of wonderful recipes (and no-nonsense techniques) from across the globe. In fact, the more I read this book, the more I love it.' Tom Parker Bowles, Daily Mail

'Promoting positive changes, this book shows you how to sprout grains, activate nuts and seeds, make your own butter, kefir and kombucha, and brings this all together with 100 wholesome recipes.' Calgary Avansino, Vogue

'If you like to eat good-quality, ethically sourced, traditional foods, but want to give your meals a modern twist, you'll enjoy this inspiring book.' BBC Good Food

'Health conscious but bored of being told that plant-based, gluten-free diets are the only way forward? Meet Nick Barnard, co-founder of Rude Health. Eat Right is his inspirational and upbeat celebration of positive eating. This book offers truly achievable and simple ideas, recipes and advice on how to be nourished by traditional foods in a modern world.' About Time

'If you've committed to learning a skill at the start of the year, this book from Rude Health founder Nick Barnard may fit the bill. It shows how to make your own yogurt, butter and sourdough bread, and how to ferment vegetables and sprout seeds. There are also plenty of meat, fish and veg-based recipes that put sustainable production to the fore.' Delicious

'The knowledge and passion with which Nick Barnard has researched and pursued those farmers practicing kind and sustainable rearing of animals, combined with time-tested and nutritionally sound recipes is admirable - I read every page with glee, and salute Nick for his commitment to a healthier country and a brighter future, in which we must all take more responsibility personally if we are to leave a better future for the next generation' Vicki Edgson, Nutritionist and Author

'Eat Right is the fascinating and no nonsense new cookbook of co-founder of Rude Health, Nick Barnard. [...] Tasty recipes include leek, cavolo nero and watercress soup, fishcakes with fish roe, sprouted oat and chocolate chunk cookies and sprouted sourdough pizza plus turmeric tea and coconut water.' Sudi Pigott

'It is not often I am impressed with a food book these days, but my admiration for this book grows every time I read it. For me, it qualifies as an important book.' --Lynda Brown, food writer and author of The Modern Cook's Manual
