Synopsis
Sally Bee's story of survival and recovery from three heart attacks in a week at the age of 36 is nothing short of a miracle. Sally attributes much of her remarkable survival to her delicious and achievable healthy eating plan, which she and her whole family enjoy. Now, in this beautifully illustrated cookbook, she shares her secret with you, and it might just save your life.

Sally believes in living a full life, and that includes eating delicious food with all the family. She shares not only clean, vibrant recipes, but also her versions of comforting classics we all love. Even desserts! We all know the principles of eating a healthy diet, but actually translating that knowledge into an easy and affordable meal can be a challenge in a busy world. The Secret Ingredient meets that challenge head-on with gorgeous, tasty recipes that will feed the whole family, and tempt even the most novice cook.

Sally tells her inspirational story throughout, and gives encouragement and support for changing your eating habits, and those of your children, without feeling deprived and in a way that works for life. She’s living proof.

Hot Brands Verdict
This is a very poignant book, both incredibly moving and inspiring. Sally’s account of how she survived by literally clinging on to the process of breathing will make you value each breath you take. During the book she takes a very practical approach to the principles of eating a healthy diet, but more than that she makes it very accessible, helping you to create meals for the whole family, which are both healthy and delicious. We loved her description of The Rainbow, ‘when planning your five a day, think of a rainbow, the more colours you can incorporate into your diet, the healthier you’ll be’

As a nation concerned about the next generation, her suggestions for encouraging children to eat healthily are both timely and important. The recipes are clearly explained and are delicious, we loved the Italian Style Courgettes, Healthiest Ever Lasagne, and the Ratatouille Chicken Tray Bake. Her dessert recipes are out of this world including the mouth watering Orange and Peach Filo Parcels, Red Berry Meringue Pie, and Tarik’s Apple Puff Squares.

This is a book that should be on everyone’s bookshelf, because it might literally save your life! Highly Recommended!
