My new book 'The Midlife Method: How to Lose Weight and Feel Great After 40, is out today, and in spite of everything that has happened this year (and honestly even though I try and stay as upbeat as possible it has been very, very testing!) it is fabulous to be going out on a high.
I am extremely proud of this book. It’s the culmination of many years of research, nutritional study and hours spent creating recipes in the kitchen. I hope you will think it has all been worth it!!
I first came up with the idea for the book way back in 2013, at that time the working title was ‘The Happy Eater’ and a very early draft was released as an e-book. Over time my knowledge and recipe-creating skills developed and I wrote and published The Midlife Kitchen with my friend Mimi Spencer (who co-authored The Fast Diet with Michael Mosley), who taught me so much about the business of books.
I was lucky enough to gain an agent through that process, the fabulous Antony Topping at Greene & Heaton who championed The Midlife Method from the start. It took his tenacity, and over a year of to-ing and fro-ing with publishers, to finally land me a deal with the wonderful Lindsey Evans at Headline Home, who I cannot thank enough for believing in this book.
So, today is the day it finally lands on mats! If you have received your copy I would love to know what you think - if you are on Instagram shoot me a message @midlifekitchen, or tag me in a post. If you want to order a copy it's currently £11.99 on amazon.co.uk or you can order on bookshop.uk or hive.co.uk if you prefer not to buy from Amazon. For international buyers your best bet is bookdepository.com which offers free worldwide delivery.
I’ll be guiding you through the 28-day plan in the book throughout January, so order it today so it arrives this weekend ready to get cracking on Monday.
Let's do this !!!
