The 7 Best Beauty Food Cookbooks to Get Gorgeous in 2016

Amelia Freer is the nutritionist who helped Grammy Award singer Sam Smith lose 14 pounds in two weeks by changing his approach to food. Her second book Cook. Nourish. Glow is out this month 100 easy recipes. Billed as a nutritional therapist, Freer’s warm, nurturing approach is a wonderful antidote to diet books. “If you are looking to nourish your mind and body in the most efficient and nurturing way, then get into the kitchen with a few simple, delicious ingredients and COOK!” She understands that emotions play into food choices and habits. Freer once ate processed foods because she didn’t think she had time to cook, and her health and skin suffered. “My experience working as a nutritional therapist has shown me that most people suffer inflammation as a result of eating too much grain, gluten, processed sugar and dairy, so my recipes avoid these.” Her recipes do however include meat, fish, and even a cheat chapter with healthier takes on scones and cookies. Nothing is complicated. She prefers the term “food assembly” promising that her dishes are uncomplicated, and will create a healthy glow. (Photo: Harper Wave)
