Some books tell you about menopause, about what to expect, breaking taboos and myths, getting more transparency around the symptoms and treatments. Much of it is about raising awareness, getting everyone talking more openly about menopause and showing women that there is real advice out there that's now easier to access than ever before.

Dr Linia Patel's friendly, authoritative cookbook steps into this growing area with the nutritional essentials, but just as importantly with how to make your menopause work for you in a simple way. It's about understanding the process and mastering your midlife body by knowing exactly what to put on your plate.

Why do you get brain fog, which nutrients should you be getting more of to combat it, and what are the recipes you can make to pack in more of those nutrients? Studies show that how you prepare yourself during the perimenopause is the game changer. And there's of course so much you can factor into your diet to see you through menopause and post-menopause and crucially to enable you to thrive, not just survive.
