Head Start serves up Patel's 'practical' cookbook

Head Start, an imprint of Palazzo Editions, has signed Dr Chintal Patel’s "remarkable" cookbook Dr Chintal’s Kitchen.

Duncan Proudfoot, editorial director, acquired world all language rights directly from the author. The cookbook will be published in hardback and e-book on 4th July 2024.

Patel commented: "Dr Chintal’s Kitchen is the book I wish I had in my kitchen many years ago. It’s your go-to bible to make quick and easy meals that the whole family will love. This is more than just a cookbook. It is a testament to family-friendly cooking and nutrition, written by a doctor who understands the real-life challenges of a working mum, having to feed (sometimes) fussy young eaters.

"So, welcome to my kitchen! Let’s embark on a journey where good food meets good health, and every meal is a celebration of both."

Proudfoot added: "Dr Chintal Patel has written a remarkable book, drawing on years of sharing her love for cooking online, attracting 150,000 devoted followers on social media. Not only is this a practical, cookbook, filled with quick, easy and healthy recipes the whole family will love, it also provides a concise, accessible guide to nutrition, underpinned by hard science and over 20 years of clinical practice as an NHS GP. It shows clearly how to put nutritional theory into delicious practice in every meal, for vegetarians and vegans too. Dr Chintal’s focus is on what you can add to your diet to make it as nutritious as possible rather than on restricting any foods. Mealtimes are for enjoyment as well as optimum nutrition and good health."
