books
So far I have written two books – labours of love - both on the vital topic of heart health. Cardiovascular disease affects so many people, yet it is largely preventable by eating the right foods and being active. I have teamed up with my fabulous foodie colleague and friend Veronica Cuskelly to ensure the recipes to support the facts are delicious, simple and approachable as well as healthful. I’m proud to say our books are a cut above the average and it’s because of the wonderful collaboration between me and Veronica. Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what the experts said:

“Nicole Senior, a dietitian committed to good nutrition, and Veronica Cuskelly an award winning food writer have put their clever heads together to share their beliefs, backed up by concrete knowledge that food is the best medicine...The information is sound, easy to understand and best of all it an interesting read – for me a real page turner, not usual in a book of this nature.

Heart Food is endorsed by the Heart Research Institute
“Despite great leaps forward in medicine, cardiovascular disease is still the main cause of death in Australia. Much of it is preventable but, alarmingly, it is on the increase again after years of decline. It is affecting younger and younger people and the beginnings of blood vessel damage are now present in childhood. How do we turn this problem of premature death and chronic illness around? How do we keep people healthy and productive for longer? The best cure is prevention and the best prevention is a healthy diet and regular physical activity. The recipes in this book remind us that eating to look after your heart can be tasty and appealing. The supporting information is helpful in explaining the most important nutritional and lifestyle factors. The authors have also been mindful to also consider the deeper meaning of food and the positive role it plays in our everyday lives. Sharing food with those we care about is a pleasure and ensuring that we serve the right food makes meals beneficial in every way…”
