Foodwise

Understanding What We Eat and How it Affects Us, the Story of Human Nutrition

By: Wendy E. Cook

Wendy Cook’s fascination with nutrition began during her war-time childhood. In the midst of deprivation and food-rationing, the rich abundance of her mother’s organic garden made a profound impression. In her twenties, married to Peter Cook, she discovered the artistic and magical effects that food could have in creating a convivial atmosphere. During this period she cooked for many well-known names, including John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Dudley Moore, Peter Ustinov and Alan Bennett. But it was only later, through her daughter falling ill, that she came to study and understand deeper aspects of nutrition, and in particular the effects of different foods on human health and consciousness. In Foodwise Wendy Cook presents a remarkable cornucopia of challenging ideas, advice and commentary, informed by the seminal work of the scientist Rudolf Steiner. She begins the volume with biographical glimpses relating to her experience of food and how it has influenced her life. She then presents an extraordinary perspective on the journey of human evolution, relating it to changes in consciousness and the consumption of different foods. In the following section she considers the importance of agricultural methods, the nature of the human being, the significance of grasses and grains, the mystery of human digestion, and the question of vegetarianism. In the next section she analyses the ‘building blocks’ of nutrition, looking in some detail at the nutritional (or otherwise) qualities of many foodstuffs, including carbohydrates, minerals, fats and oils, milk and dairy products, herbs and spices, salt and sweeteners, stimulants, legumes, the nightshade family, bread, water, and dietary supplements. She ends with practical tips on cooking, planning menus, children’s food, sharing meals, and some mouth-watering recipes. Foodwise presents a treasure of wisdom and experience for anybody with a concern for the content of the food they eat or a desire to discover more about the physical, soul and spiritual aspects of nutrition.

So Farewell Then

The Untold Life of Peter Cook

By: Wendy E. Cook

To his many fans, Peter Cook was quite simply the funniest man they never met. Over a decade since his untimely death, his reputation as one of Britain's greatest comics shows no sign of shrinking. His first wife talks about a side of Peter Cook that few have ever seen and no one has made public. Peter Cook was one of the most significant influences on British comedy of the last 50 years. Caustic, cruel but genuinely and effortlessly witty, Cook was one of the prime architects of the satire boom of the sixties, achieving fame first in the revue 'Beyond The Fringe' with Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller, then in the television comedy sketch show 'Not Only But Also', starring himself and Moore. The responsibility of being regarded as one of the wittiest men of his generation and the comic guru to the nation could have weighed heavily upon Peter Cook's shoulders. But the one thing Cook always refused adamantly to do was to take life, himself or his career seriously. Wendy Cook was a teenage art student when she first met the handsome Cambridge undergraduate in the early sixties. They married soon after and together founded the Establishment clubs in London and New York, and financed the satirical magazine 'Private Eye'. Wendy bore Peter his only children and they lived together during the most explosive time in Peter's amazing career. But the price of this stratospheric rise was high. 'I felt eventually I had to go my own way rather than stay with somebody who was that nihilistic. Alcohol stokes up the demons and a completely different person starts to emerge. He did know how to behave well, but it rotted into something else. At a certain point I thought, "This will be the end of me if I don't leave now."' Finally Wendy took her daughters to Majorca to live on a farm and the couple eventually divorced a few years later in 1971. Now, putting aside 30 years of discretion about her life with the comedian, Wendy has decided to break her long silence to set down her memories in this long-awaited biography.
