Calum Harris is a cook who started on Instagram in 2019 with the aim to make vegan food simple for everyone to enjoy and try. Since then he has built up a devoted following of more than 380k across social media, and released his first bestselling cookbook The 20-Minute Vegan, all thanks to his unapologetic approach towards making cooking simple, accessible, yet delicious.
Nominated for several Content Creator of the Year awards, including Fortnum's Content Creator of the Year in 2024, Calum continues to find new ways of inspiring people to get on board with cooking great food that just so happens to be plant-based.
He joins us to talk, demo, & dish out tasters from Proper Healthy: 80 plant-based recipes with a boost. These are easy, healthy dishes that just so happen to be plant-based. Each of the recipes in this book come with up to four health 'boosts' to meet your dietary needs.
Eating healthy means missing out on the food you love, right? Wrong. If you're looking for a no-nonsense way to eat well, then Proper Healthy has you covered. Calum has done all the hard work for you, working with a registered dietician to create easy, plant-based dishes that come packed with up to four health benefits to boost your meals.

From brunches and quick eats, puds and pick-me-ups, this is a book for anyone who cares about what goes into their bodies and what food can do to their mood and energy. It's for anyone looking to stick to a plant-based diet, or for plant-based eaters looking for healthy inspiration.
