With over 100 recipes to feed your brain, Good Mood Food shows you how easy it is to eat better and feel better every day.

For centuries we’ve failed to appreciate the connection between the health of the body and the health of the mind. But as bestselling author Tim Spector, cofounder of the gut health science company ZOE, makes clear in this groundbreaking cookbook, what we eat affects how we feel. The key is to understand the connection between our gut and our brain. When we nurture our gut microbiome with delicious, varied, plant-rich foods, we can improve our energy levels, day-to-day mood, mental health, and long-term brain health.

Packed with easy and inspiring budget-friendly ideas—from weekend batch-cooking to energy-boosting breakfasts, from soothing suppers to lunches on the go—this practical cookbook has a healthy recipe for every palate, without sacrificing taste or limiting your shopping list to “health food,” such as:
• Broccoli and Feta Fritters
• Pearl Barley Minestrone
• Zingy Chicken Casserole
• Rainbow Stir Fry
• Super Greens Lasagna
• Chocolate Miso Fudge Torte
• And, more!

Good Mood Food goes a step further, offering an eye-opening look at the impact of gut microbiome health on various cognitive diseases, outlining how our diet directly impacts our brain’s health. As a pioneer of microbiome research, Tim Spector is among the top 100 most-cited scientists in the world. He brings that unmatched expertise to Good Mood Food, showing readers that to eat better is to feel better.
