TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Think about that first tickle of hunger in your stomach. A moment ago, you could have been thinking about anything, but now it's thickly buttered marmite toast, a frosty scoop of ice cream straight from the tub, some creamy, cheesy scrambled eggs or a fuzzy, perfectly-ripe peach. Eating is one of life's greatest pleasures. Food nourishes our bodies, helps us celebrate our successes (from a wedding cake to a post-night out kebab), cheers us up when we're down, introduces us to new cultures and - when we cook and eat together - connects us with the people we love. In Eat Up, Ruby Tandoh celebrates the fun and pleasure of food, taking a look at everything from gluttons and gourmets in the movies, to the symbolism of food and sex. She will arm you against the fad diets, food crazes and bad science that can make eating guilt-laden and expensive, drawing eating inspiration from influences as diverse as Moonlight, Rihanna and Gemma from TOWIE. Filled with straight-talking, sympathetic advice on everything from mental health to recipe ideas and shopping tips, this is a book that clears away the fog, to help you fall back in love with food.

'An audiobook you can cook along to, Breaking Eggs is a novel idea with excellent results' - Guardian In this active guide, Ruby Tandoh will guide listeners through four simple bakes: A simple butter cake that's sweet, rich and moreish; a nutty, tangy rye apple galette; a swirling constellation of vanilla custard buns; and miso brownies, for a shot of umami, salty goodness. With step-by-step instructions alongside musings and meditations on food and life, this is a mindful cooking experience like no other. This guide was originally intended to be listened to, though if you'd prefer to read then that's fine too. Just surrender to the experience, and immerse yourself in the process as you read and bake along. You'll be given clear instructions on what each step should look, feel and smell like, and as you focus on the delicious bake in front of you, everything else on your mind might just fade away...
