She’s the Donna Hay of not giving a f**k. Nutritious food makes you feel awesome but it can taste like penis – not to mention that the healthy food world can be as appealing as having your bikini line tidied up with a high-pressure hose.

That’s why Aussie nurse and mum Shannon Kelly White created her blog, Shannon’s Kitchen, to share her delicious, achievable recipes (along with an inappropriate amount of penis jokes and references to nipple erections). In Shannon’s Kitchen: Healthy Food You’ll Actually F**king Eat!, Shannon reveals 60 easy-to-follow recipes for healthy food to help you live a bloody good and fun life. If you’ve had a gutful of diets, detoxes and perfect clean eating types, then this book is for you – no preachy nonsense or etiquette, just tasty food, inappropriate language and zero f**ks given.
