Are you at a point in your life where health is becoming more of a priority? The perimenopause and menopause years are a great time to take stock of what you eat - in fact, midlife is a glorious opportunity to wrest back control of your eating in the interests of health, happiness and a long life.
This is what The Midlife Kitchen is all about: eating gorgeous ingredients in the most delicious combinations to give yourself the best possible odds for a healthy future. Mimi Spencer and Sam Rice have created more than 150 recipes to restore, rejuvenate and revive - with them you can future-proof your life through your forties, fifties and well beyond.

Busy lives require simple, sustaining recipes that incorporate health-giving ingredients without too much fuss, so each recipe features Mimi and Sam's unique colour-coded star anise system, highlighting the specific health benefits of the dish.

Mimi Spencer is best known for co-authoring the best-selling The Fast Diet with Dr Michael Mosley, which introduced the concept of 5:2 intermittent fasting to the world. The Fast Diet has sold over a million copies worldwide, with translations into more than 30 languages. Mimi went on to write The Fast Diet Recipe Book and Fast Cook.

Mimi's background is in lifestyle and style journalism, with an early career as a fashion writer for Vogue, the Evening Standard and then as editor of ES Magazine. She has been a columnist for You Magazine (Mail on Sunday), Observer Food Monthly and Waitrose Kitchen, while also writing lifestyle, fashion and food features for The Times and many national magazines.

Mimi, 49, lives in Brighton with her husband and two teenage children.

Sam Rice's career has taken her from management consultant and travel business owner, to sommelier, wine columnist and more recently, food writer.

Following the premature death of her youngest brother, who suffered from type 1 diabetes, she decided to overhaul her diet in the interests of living a longer and healthier life. She wrote about the process in her book The Happy Eater, 4 Weeks to a Better Relationship with Food, which was self-published in 2014.

Sam, 47, now lives in Bali with her husband and two children.
