THE ANGRY CHEF

by Anthony Warner

(Oneworld £9.99) THESE days, it is hard to open a newspaper without being told by some celebrity clean-eating guru that our diet is poisoning us and we need to switch to kale and wild blueberries without delay.

Anthony Warner is a professional chef with a degree in biochemistry — and food fads drive him mad. Since 2016, he has been flaying the foolish nonsense peddled by some in the diet industry in his Angry Chef blog.

He has now gathered his thoughts into a bracingly outspoken book.

If you have ever been tempted to follow an extreme diet, the Angry Chef’s funny, furious and sometimes profane polemic will swiftly put you right.

He is inexorable in debunking the pseudoscience of diet gurus with the less glamorous, but fully researched, evidence of the real thing.
