Fertile

Nourish and balance your body ready for baby making
A new book by Emma Cannon
Published by Vermilion, 2 March 2017 £20

London, UK. 21 February 2017FERTILE is the fourth book written by the respected writer, fertility expert and TedX speaker Emma Cannon, author of the bestseller The Babymaking Bible. This beautifully photographed and illustrated hardback book contains a wealth of practical advice and information coupled with a raft of nourishing and delicious fertility-enhancing recipes by nutritionist Victoria Wells. The book is ultimately an inspiring celebration of life and food, of passion, pleasure, emotion and creation – the intrinsically linked key factors for creating a baby. FERTILE’s fundamental message is about how to experience the joy of practising self-awareness, letting go and living a more ‘fertile’ life – through food, lifestyle and wellbeing. Cannon says ‘This book is as much for your heart as it is for your body. It’s about making delicious food and still leaving time for baby making. After all you can have the best diet in the world but if you don’t make time for making love, ba-bies tend to take a lot longer to come along’. FERTILE is the perfect read for every modern woman thinking about having a baby, perhaps one day on the horizon or maybe trying to conceive right now. The book is divided in to two clear halves. The first is a concise compendium that discusses everything you need to know about getting pregnant. From how weight (under or over) impacts fertility and the ‘right’ kind of exercise to improving digestion, stress reduction, discussing sex and libido-boosting foods, as well as practical advice about IVF support and optimising natural fertility. The second half of the book contains fifty unique recipes made from nutritious ingredients backed up with stunning colour photography. Recipes include mouth-watering offerings such as Black Sesame Porridge with Roasted Saffron Peaches, Dahl with Roasted Tomatoes, four different kinds of pesto, Butternut Squash, Broccoli & Quinoa Stir Fry with Avocado & Toasted Almonds, Chestnut & Seaweed Risotto or sweet treats such as Kefir Panna Cotta with Cardamom and Honey. Bringing together a lifetime of work and research, FERTILE is fuelled by Cannon’s own personal passion and love for food and cookery. Each recipe has been carefully created from her kitchen at home in Lon-don and France, alongside registered nutritionist Victoria Wells. The author also draws from her own in-depth clinical experience and expertise in a unique alchemy of ancient Eastern and traditional Western integrated medical principles that form the backbone of this fascinating book.
