Chapters comprise Nuts and Nibbles, Fishy Things, Meat on Sticks, Meat Not on Sticks, Salady Stuff, Hot Veggie Dishes, Mostly Carbs, Puds, and Something to Wash it Down with.

Contributor Bio:  Sugiura, Yuki Christian Coates founded Soulmatefood in 2008 based on the conviction that he could bring the power of healthy cuisine direct to people's doorsteps - to help make a real difference to their health and wellbeing. Recognising that people today lead increasingly hectic lifestyles, with the added pressure to look good, Christian saw the need for healthy, accessible cuisine and built Soulmatefood to create a gourmet diet delivery service for the real world. Building on their success for team GB at London's 2012 Olympic Games, where Soulmatefood was the only external nutrition service for athletes in the Olympic village, Soulmatefood continues to work with Team GB nutritionists to cater for many athletes - from boxers and judo experts to tennis players and cyclists. As well as having Soulmatefood Kitchen in London's luxury department store Harrods, Soulmatefood has created a new concept in 'grab and go' that has been rolled out through Virgin Active gyms, across London. They are also the preferred supplier for Universal Studios when they are filming on location in the UK.
