Barbara Cousins

Barbara Cousins is a nutritional therapist who wrote her first book over 26 years ago. ‘Cooking Without’ was written for the benefit of Barbara’s clients and was self-published in 1990. At that time there was no internet and no other books for her clients to turn to when she took them off gluten, dairy, sugar and yeast as part of a detoxification regime.

‘Cooking Without’ was taken over by Thorsons in 1996 and was followed by another two books in the series, ‘Vegetarian Cooking Without’ and ‘Cooking Without Made Easy’. Her latest book ‘Easy Tasty Healthy’ came out in 2016 and this book is free from soya and eggs as well as gluten, dairy, sugar and yeast because so many people now have problems with these foods too.

In the front of all Barbara’s books she uses her wealth of experience to explain health and health problems in an easy to understand format. Barbara covers topics such as detoxification, blood sugar balance, common health problems, weight control, allergies and intolerances and the reasons for avoiding gluten, dairy, sugar and yeast. Client case histories in her third book show the effects a change of diet can have not just on people’s physical health, but their mental and emotional states too. Her fourth book ‘Easy Tasty healthy’ explains the reasons for avoiding sugar and how some sugar substitutes can be equally detrimental to our health.
