This hardcover format is CONDITION: BRAND NEW and carries ISBN: 9781529319828.

Inside Foodology you'll find clear explanations of how food interacts with the body — from the first aroma that makes your mouth water, to textures that alter taste perception, to why some ingredients encourage bloating while others soothe your gut. The narrative is peppered with personal memories (think Indian street food and jam doughnuts), clinical insight and practical tips, making complex digestive science easy to understand and enjoyable to read.

• Practical recipes: 50 mostly vegetarian recipes designed to support gut health while staying truly delicious.
• Science made simple: Easy-to-follow explanations of digestion and how diet influences mood and wellbeing.
• Trusted author: From a gastroenterology doctor and MasterChef winner — trusted by parents and food lovers alike.

What makes this book different from other cookery and health titles is its combination of medical training and culinary passion. Saliha’s dual background allows her to recommend recipes and habits that are both scientifically grounded and sensorially satisfying. Whether you’re looking to reduce uncomfortable symptoms, learn why certain flavours trigger memories, or simply expand your repertoire with gut-friendly meals, Foodology meets all those needs.

Suggested use cases: ideal for bedtime reading with curious teens, a reference for classroom units on nutrition, a thoughtful gift for new parents, or a go-to cookbook for those starting a gut-friendly meal plan. The recipes are approachable enough for busy families yet inventive for confident cooks seeking new inspiration.

By the final page you’ll not only understand the journey food takes through the body but also feel empowered to make small changes that improve digestion and lift mood. Foodology is a perfect gift, a timeless keepsake for kitchen shelves, and a practical guide for anyone who believes that great food and good health should go hand in hand.
