I am always trying to encourage people to take more fluid and loved this book as it gives lots of excellent ideas. During pregnancy many women find their tastes change so drinking enough fluid can be an issue especially if they suffer that problem of vomiting.

Fiona is a nutritionist who is well trained and gives balanced and well‐considered advice. The information on alcohol during pregnancy and breastfeeding is perfect to pass on to mothers. There is also a good section on nutrition during pregnancy.

The book contains recipes for:

• •

  smoothies and shakes;

• •

  soups;

• •

  juices;

• •

  party drinks; and

• •

  cordial and hot drinks all of which have nutritional analysis.

The recipes would suit anyone especially the lovely soups which can be a useful and inexpensive meal.
