I think there are very few books that you can truthfully say, ‘this book changed my life’. When I first came across it almost forty years ago, this one changed mine. It explained clearly to me what it was I needed to know to eat well.

First published fifty years ago, in 1971, and revised in further editions, I think this is still the most revolutionary book on food available today – and its message is even more relevant in today’s world than when it was written.
