CRAVING

Designed to prevent you from fretting and obsessing over food, Sandra Mahut’s Craving: Eating well throughout your pregnancy provides a wealth of information as to what you can and can’t eat whilst your pregnant, as well as providing delicious, nutritious and pregnant-friendly recipes that will help to satisfy all of your cravings without you having to worry that it could be harmful to you and the baby. Split into trimesters Sandra’s recipes are tailored for different stages of pregnancy. In your first trimester, tackle morning sickness with Sandra’s Anti-nausea Breakfast of ginger yogurt with cardamom and honey and face your fatigue head-on with a snack of pear, apple or lemon compote with a ginger and lemon tea. In your second trimester feed your appetite, fuel your sudden energy burst and consume plenty of calcium and vitamins with dishes like salmon teriyaki with roasted sweet potatoes, almond muffins with dried apricots and banana milk.  And in your third trimester enjoy pro-digestion recipes like crumbed haddock with herbs, cherry tomatoes and steamed courgette. There’s even a whole chapter dedicated to cravings so you can indulge on foods like chocolate fondant cake, chicken burger with Parmesan and yogurt sauce and mushroom, mozzarella and kale pizza without feeling guilty.
