You feel it when a meal leaves you restless: full yet still searching. This book shows why-and how to fix it. By returning to foods with structure, flavour, and history, you can escape the loop of engineered snacks and rebuild an appetite that works for you, not against you. It is for readers who want depth without dogma: parents, professionals, and home cooks seeking steadier energy, saner cravings, and meals that honour culture and planet. Inside, you will learn a simple framework to source better ingredients, design satisfying plates, and develop quiet kitchen competence-no perfection required. Along the way, you will discover how ancestral diet principles fit modern schedules, why avoiding ultra-processed foods matters, and how modern foraging at markets and shops can be your everyday superpower. Practical chapters cover pantry design, seasonal eating, microbiome health, and regenerative agriculture choices that actually move the needle. Clear checklists, fast templates, and a guided 30-day eating plan turn ideas into habits. Whether you cook daily or only on weekends, this is a usable, no-nonsense companion to building a whole foods cookbook in your own kitchen, with tips for urban foraging safety and flexible meals that travel well. Eat like a human again-simply, confidently, and with flavours that make restraint unnecessary.
