A Change of Appetite is the 7th cookbook from London-based food writer and cookbook author Diana Henry. We are delighted to offer 3 copies of the book, thanks to the publisher Mitchell Beazley/Octopus Publishing.
The book contains the recipes that Diana Henry created when she started to crave a different kind of diet - less meat and heavy food, more vegetable-, fish- and grain-based dishes - often inspired by the food of the Middle East and Far East, but also drawing on cuisines from Georgia to Scandinavia.
Diana has written a fascinating article on her blog about the process involved in writing the cookbook. With her kind permission, we have excerpts here.
To win a copy, just answer this question: When you crave lighter and healthier food, what is your go-to dish?
Additional rules are:
- Please make certain you have signed in to the EYB website (you don't have to be a paid member). This ensures that we have your email address and can get in contact with you.
- The winners are restricted to those with mailing addresses in the UK and USA.
- The giveaway will expire in 4 weeks on April 10, 2014.
This contest is now closed. The 3 lucky winners, chosen by random number generator are sharifah, Rosesrpink50 and Schout.

My go to light dish is always a stir fry made with 1 tsp. of gochujang and 2 tsp. soy sauce which makes a delicious, slightly spicy sauce so it has masses of flavor to satisfy.

and I love roasting loads of root vegetables with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and fresh herbs.

I am interested in the premise of the book, and look forward to seeing it (one way or another) and cooking from it.

Lime leaves and citrus zest have proven such sanity-saving flavor-boosters for me. If I'm hungry but not in the mood for something Light and Refreshing, which is what I need to be eating, I find that citrus zest really helps to round flavors out and tie them together to be interesting and moreish.

I wasn't crazy about Diana Henry's books until I read her Salt Sugar Smoke and loved many-many recipes. Just like DH, my appetite is changing to a lighter, healthier fare and I can't wait to get her latest book into my hands!
