''This is an extraordinary fusion of science, literature, medicine and cookery. I''ve never read anything quite like it - a book that will transform your understanding of what you eat and how it makes you feel.''

The book will take you on a joint culinary and scientific journey through the gut. It is an unapologetic celebration of what I believe to be the most amazing organ of the body, that will enhance and enlighten the way you cook and eat. Saliha Mahmood Ahmed
