This is a practical book and a compelling and entertaining one, from a prize-winning food writer, full of unexpected revelations and facts about the food that we eat.
Deciding what to eat is no longer a simple matter of instinct and appetite. Every choice we make about the food we put on our plates is complicated. Is meat good or bad for me? Is buying local always best? Is organic worth it? WHAT TO EAT? asks all these questions and more: some are specific, going back to the nature of particular foods such as milk, meat and fish. Some are more general and challenging, examining the green and the good at a time when money is short and choices matter.
The book also offers answers. This is a refreshingly practical guide to the stuff of everyday living, from the ingredients up: Hattie Ellis exposes the myths and unveils the truth about how food is produced, what gives us most value for money, what it does to us, and what we have done to it.

Hattie Ellis' Planet Chicken won the Derek Cooper Award for investigative writing in 2008; her Sweetness & Light: The Mysterious History of the Honeybee covered the natural and social history of food; the research for Best of British Fish (Winner, Guild of Food Writers' Award) taught her about fishing and marine ecology, and Eating England took her into social history and farming. She has also worked for the Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres, exploring the connections between food and health. And she has written for a host of magazines and newspapers.
