Never before have we had so much information available to us about food and health. There's GAPS, paleo, detox, gluten-free, alkaline, the sugar conspiracy, clean eating...Unfortunately, a lot of it is not only wrong but actually harmful. So why do so many of us believe this bad science? Assembling a crack team of psychiatrists, behavioural economists, food scientists and dietitians, the Angry Chef unravels the mystery of why sensible, intelligent people are so easily taken in by the latest food fads, making brief detours for an expletive-laden rant. At the end of it all you'll have the tools to spot pseudoscience for yourself and the Angry Chef will be off for a nice cup of tea - and it will have two sugars in it, thank you very much.

Review of 'The angry chef' on 'Goodreads'

What a wonderful, important book. The silly things we’ve come to believe about food, and why we believe them. Toxins, clean eating, raw food, paleo, the peril of gluten- things I’ve wanted to shake educated, rational, decent people for believing & repeating- it’s all challenged here, with swearing & science, my two favourite things. Hooray!
