A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR

Did you know that the food we eat says a lot about how we love? Psychologist Dr Andrea Oskis shows us how we connect with each other and how we can change our personal ‘recipes’ to have better relationships.

Along the way, she also reveals her own food story about love and loss. Inviting us into her therapy room with her patients, she tells us: the real reason why comfort food comforts, why dessert isn’t a good idea when you’re stressed, and why you should never give a bottle of hot sauce to someone who has been rejected.

Be prepared to never look at your plate in the same way again.
