Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Cajun sweet potato hash

    • Clog on April 17, 2023

      Tasty but rather dry. Will try it with yogurt next time.

  • White beans, butternut squash and spicy couscous

    • Clog on March 28, 2025

      As given, this was rather dry and tasteless. We rescued it with Greek yogurt and chili oil. The yogurt gave it body and the chili oil added some flavour. I would be prepared to do it again but as an accompaniment to a meat or fish dish, not a stand-alone main course.

  • Creole couscous with white beans and parsley

    • Clog on February 25, 2024

      Serves 2? We are not small eaters and this easily delivered four portions!

  • Jambalaya

    • CourtneyT on October 22, 2025

      Whilst this wouldn’t win any awards for being authentic, it was easy, tasty and relatively healthy. I used the spice blend on page 245 and whole grain brown rice. Filling and warming on a chilly autumn evening.

  • Thyme and ginger comfort soup

    • Clog on June 04, 2026

      Nasty thick brown sludge. It might be redeemable if you slashed the amount of ginger and sun-dried tomatoes, and added more vegetables. But it would be a fundamentally different recipe by then I think.

  • Coconut chicken with spicy peas and potato

    • Clog on February 11, 2023

      Very colourful and tasty meal. Not particularly spicy by our standards but YMMV, and you can always add more spice.

Publishers Text

Following on from Dr Rupy’s bestselling cook book The Doctor’s Kitchen, Eat to Beat Illness distils actionable ideas for daily life to teach you how to use food to trigger and amplify your defences against illness. Accompanying the advice there are 80 new delicious recipes.

In Dr Rupy’s second book he builds on the message that what you choose to put on your plate is one of the most important health interventions you can make. Food can not only affect our likelihood of disease but it can lengthen our lives, change our mood and even affect the expression of our DNA.

The first section of the book explains how our bodies can better fight off illness through eating well and how we can heal our bodies through simple lifestyle changes including exercise, stress reduction, sleeping well and finding purpose in our lives.

It is now scientifically proven that certain foods and food groups are beneficial for staving off illness and here Rupy will look at key conditions such as cancer, depression, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, stress and explain what to eat to increase our chances of staying healthy.

Complemented by 80 new recipes, full of tempting international flavours such as Roast Golden Beets with Italian Greens and Hazelnut Pesto; Bangladeshi Cod Curry Spatchcock Poussin and Middle Eastern Ful Madames; Iranian Dizi Stew; Garlic Chilli Prawn and Black Bean Stirfry with Bokchoy and Silverbeet; Pea and Broccoli Orecchiette Japanese Togarashi Mix, to name just a few, eating well for has never been so easy and delicious.
