It's Fave Book Friday and Doris is reviewing 'Healthy High Protein' by Dr Rupy Aujla.

"Protein may be the latest buzzword, but Dr Rupy Aujla shows that understanding and using it well is about far more than trends - it's about building a foundation of lifelong health through simple, joyful cooking. Whether you’re looking to boost your energy, support your gut, maintain strength, or simply cook more nourishing meals at home, I highly recommend this book!".
