Saliha Mahmood-Ahmed, also known as Saliha Cooks, is a chef, a Gastroenterologist working for the NHS and the 2017 winner of MasterChef UK.
Her work for the NHS focuses on Digestive disorders, which she combines with her passion for gastronomy.

Now, she draws upon her family traditions when creating recipe books, with the goal of promoting healthier, more enjoyable meals.
In this episode Saliha shares with us insights into how we can best fuel our bodies, the questions we should be asking ourselves whilst eating and the importance of inclusion, not exclusion, in our diets.
