Carla Oates says looking after her skin and health issues was where her inner beauty journey began, adding she’s seen what she puts into her mouth has a profound effect on her health. “I know it doesn’t sound very glamorous, but the gut is where the seeds for health and beauty are planted.” The Beauty Chef is a collection of 150 gluten-free, mostly dairy-free, skin and gut-loving recipes … dishes like creamy millet porridge with honey-roasted figs and almond and seed toffee, coconut and lime hotcakes with yoghurt and berries, creamy mushroom, pea and mint spaghetti, and cashew butter chicken.
