Winner of the Fortnum \u0026amp; Mason Food Book of the Year, this brand-new paperback traces the seismic shifts in global diets over two generations, unpacking why food has become both more abundant and more damaging to health. It is essential reading for anyone who cares about nutrition, food culture or the future of the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn The Way We Eat Now, food writer and historian Bee Wilson examines the extraordinary pace of change in what, how and why we eat. Over just two generations, traditional and limited diets have given way to globalised food systems offering unprecedented variety-yet paradoxically leaving many people less healthy than before. Wilson explores the rise of ultra-processed foods, the psychology of appetite, the influence of supermarkets and corporations, and the cultural forces reshaping our relationship with meals. Drawing on meticulous research, interviews and storytelling, she charts how convenience, marketing and economics have reshaped kitchens and dinner tables worldwide. Rather than simply diagnosing the problem, Wilson also looks for reasons to be hopeful, highlighting communities and individuals finding new, more sustainable and pleasurable ways to eat. The book moves fluidly between personal anecdote, scientific evidence and social history, making complex food politics accessible without ever feeling dry or preachy. Whether discussing school dinners, food deserts, the rise of veganism or the psychology of snacking, Wilson brings clarity and nuance to a subject that touches every reader. This paperback edition is brand new and perfect as a standalone read, a thoughtful gift, or an addition to any food-lover's shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinner of the Fortnum \u0026amp; Mason Food Book of the Year 2020.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessible, research-backed writing from a multi-award-winning food historian.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores nutrition, food industry practices and the psychology of eating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for book clubs, classroom discussion or personal reading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thoughtful gift for anyone interested in food, health or sustainability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBee Wilson is an acclaimed British food writer and historian, and the author of five previous books including Consider the Fork, First Bite and Swindled.

Rather than another recipe book chasing novelty, this is a book of kitchen wisdom: how to season with confidence, when to bother with onions and when not to, and which pieces of equipment genuinely earn their keep. Winner of the Guild of Food Writers' Best General Cookbook award in 2024 and chosen by Nigella Lawson as her Cookbook Corner pick, it offers 140 doable, delicious recipes for real, busy lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBee Wilson has spent decades writing about food, but The Secret of Cooking distils that knowledge into something intensely practical: a book designed to make the kitchen work harder for you, not the other way round. It tackles the everyday problems that recipe books usually skip over — how to get dinner on the table when you are exhausted, how to cook well for one person as happily as for a crowd, and how to build meals ahead so future-you has an easier evening. The 140 recipes range from quick weeknight staples to slower weekend cooking, all written in Wilson's characteristically warm, no-nonsense style. Critics and fellow food writers have praised its generosity and clarity: Nigel Slater called it a lifetime of kitchen wisdom, while Rachel Roddy described it as a truly remarkable cookbook that will change lives. This is a hardback built to be a long-term kitchen companion, with the kind of unfussy, big-hearted food that quietly improves everyday life rather than just impressing guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e140 tested, achievable recipes for everyday cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical kitchen wisdom on seasoning, equipment and technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinner of the Guild of Food Writers Best General Cookbook 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChosen by Nigella Lawson as her Cookbook Corner pick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy hardback format, ideal as a long-term kitchen reference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakes a thoughtful gift for home cooks of all levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBee Wilson is a cook and food writer known for exploring how food connects to the rest of life.
