Spring Clean

Get your glow with these new light and healthy dishes from Gwyneth Paltrow

- Mary Comber

Want to overhaul your diet without going ‘full detox’? Look no further – the queen of clean eating, Gwyneth Paltrow, is back with a new collection of recipes in The Clean Plate – Delicious, Healthy Recipes for Everyday Glow (Sphere, £25), designed to lighten your plate and reset your body while still delivering on flavour and pleasure. Whether you’re looking for healthy eating inspiration or you’re avoiding certain food groups, Paltrow is on a mission to prove clean eating doesn’t equal deprivation. ‘I never want to cook or eat something that feels like a compromise, like I’m saying “no” to what my body is craving,’ says the actress and goop CEO. ‘Healthy and delicious are not mutually exclusive.’

Author of three New York Times bestselling cookbooks: It’s All Easy, My Father’s Daughter and It’s All Good, Paltrow is a passionate foodie and home chef with a penchant for Italian food and red wine. However, she also believes that following a clean diet is key to her glow and one of the most powerful tools there is for optimal wellbeing. ‘I don’t know any magic bullets, but eating clean comes close,’ she says. ‘There’s a marked difference to how I feel when I’m eating at least fairly clean.’
