‘This book will become your go-to, making eating well a joy, not a chore.’ – Dr Rupy Aujla

With a foreword by nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert, Real Healthy is a practical cookbook for time-poor people who want to cut back on ultra-processed foods, with healthy, veg-packed food that’s quick, convenient and tasty.

Here, Melissa Hemsley provides simple, doable and delicious recipes to help you tackle those tricky problem areas – on-the-go breakfasts, working lunches, snacks and sweet treats – as well as chapters on batch cooking, traybakes and 30 minute meals. She’s also includes tips on what to look out for when trying to avoid UPFs, making this your new go-to book for everyday cooking.

With recipes such as One-Pot Lazy Lasagne, Cherry Bakewell Granola and Take-To-Work White Bean Chilli, as well as ideas to help you stay on top of the week’s shopping and cooking, Real Healthy provides easy and nourishing alternatives to help you reduce the amount of UPFs that end up on your plate.
