Good Mood Food: 100+ Gut-Friendly Recipes to Feel Better Everyday

Eat better. Feel better. The groundbreaking new cookbook from the scientist, international bestselling author and co-founder of ZOE.

For centuries we've failed to appreciate the connection between the health of the body and the health of the mind. But the science is now clear: what we eat affects how we feel, as well as the long-term health of our brains. 

As scientist and bestselling cookbook author Tim Spector explains, the key is to understand the connection between our gut and our brain. When we nurture our gut microbiome with delicious, varied, plant-rich foods, we can improve our energy levels and day-to-day mood, our mental health and long-term brain health. 

Packed with inspiring, easy, budget-friendly ideas, from weekend batch-cooking to energy-boosting breakfasts, from soothing suppers to lunches on-the-go, Good Mood Food shows us how easy it is to eat better and feel better every day. 

"Tim Spector [has] done more than anyone to draw public attention to the link between gut health, immunity, ageing and mood."―Daily Telegraph
