Isabel Hood is an international nutritional therapist and life coach who has a great passion for food. Her cosmopolitan childhood guaranteed a lifelong love of food and a deep interest in the cuisines of the world. She grew up in Mexico and was educated at an international school with fellow pupils from virtually every country on earth - as a result, she has been steeped in intensely flavoured, palate-tingling, aromatic cooking all her life. This has encouraged her to seek adventure in the kitchen (which has always been her favourite room in the house!) and in the food traditions and cultures of other nationalities. Isabel trained as a chef and set up her own catering business in London which ran for sixteen years. The knowledge and insight which she acquired from years in the kitchen as well as extensive nutritional studies have resulted in the development of a two-pronged personal approach to health and lifestyle: the food we eat must bring joy and pleasure, but it must also nourish and support us throughout our lives.
