Menolicious is a new cookery bible for the midlife, offering accessible, easy and affordable recipes to alleviate key symptoms of the menopause.
With up to 16 million women in the UK alone in their menopausal decade the most surprising thing about designing a cookbook for them is that there are so few already published.
Focusing on food with menopausal symptoms in mind, the recipes are good for all those you enjoy meals with. Our recipes have been developed with family and friends in mind, so everyone in your life can reap the benefits.
Our Menolicious recipes are packed full of answers to those new dietary demands, full of essential nutrients and tasty satisfying alternatives to sugar and starch. We won't make false promises, there's far too much menowashing around and food is only part of the midlife survival pack. But we know from our own experience that eating well can help our midriffs, lift our spirits, and give us the energy we need to embrace our newfound freedom from many of the onerous expectations that fall primarily on women's shoulders.
Whether you're battling mid-life flab or despairing of your teens or partners diet, sick of the same old recipes or eager to drop the food groups that disrupt your digestion and no longer serve your bodies needs.
