‘Her book offers welcome hope to parents who may be at their wits’ end … illuminating.’ TES, June 2006‘Jamie Oliver visited [Alex's department] while preparing his series on school dinners. It was the hard-slog science of the physiology department that gave credibility to the link between children's diet and their behaviour that Oliver made so powerfully in his TV programmes.’ Guardian (May 05)‘Food affects behaviour.
