LEON, the home of healthy fast food, brings you more than 100 simple, colorful, delicious new recipes to recharge your gut and transform your health

"So excited to get cooking with Rebecca Seal’s new book LEON Happy Guts! Some incredible microbiome-friendly recipes!" - Professor Jack Gilbert, PhD, world-renowned microbiome scientist at the University of California San Diego

LEON was founded on the principle of nourishing the soul with food that nourishes the body - making us happy as a result.
 

In the latest book in the bestselling LEON Happy series, the LEON team have created more than 100 recipes on eating for a happy, healthy gut. It is not about eating a restrictive diet or depriving yourself of delicious food, but about incorporating gut-friendly ingredients into your daily diet with recipes loaded with natural probiotics, prebiotics and polyphenols.

 

In addition to recipes, LEON Happy Gut Cooking offers the latest advice on improving your gut health, including why we should all use extra-virgin olive oil with abandon and that wine and cheese might actually be good for you.
