Em The Nutritionist is arguably one of the most popular nutritionists in the UK right now. Shooting to fame and amassing over two million social media followers, the glowing chef has inspired millions to give healthy cooking a go.<\/p>\n

Her USP? She makes simple, tasty, nutrient-dense food that you actually look forward to eating, coming up with clever protein, fibre, and vegetable-packed twists on sandwiches, soups, cakes and more. While nutrition influencers in the past have been more – shall we say, prescriptive – Em is the poster girl of the 2026 approach to wellbeing, one where food is intrinsically linked with how you feel and focuses on what you can add to your plate, rather than cut out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve always been passionate about good food that nourishes both your body and mind,” she shares exclusively with Marie Claire UK. “If you don\u2019t enjoy it, what\u2019s the point?” She reckons that this is because she comes from a family of chefs, where food was at the forefront of any occasion. “That said, when I was introduced to the world of nutrition, it was all about diet restriction.” Her cookbooks aim to break that mould entirely, though, reminding her millions of followers and fans that food is never just about nutrients, but rather, joy, too.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re after simple savoury breakfast ideas that you actually look forward to, easy meal prep ideas, or quick protein-and-veg packed air fryer dinner recipes (because yep, she loves an air fryer), Em gets our vote. I don’t know a single MC UK staffer who hasn’t made one of her recipes, so much so that at least five of us pre-ordered her most recent, now Sunday Times best-selling, book.<\/p>\n

Keen to try a few of her recipes before buying? Below, she shares some of her go-to meals, including her favourite breakfast tacos and a veg-packed glow bowl from the book. We’ve also included some of team MC UK’s go-to recipes, including that crispy potato salad. Keen to read more of Em’s philosophy for life?

What the nutritionist thinks? “These are so delicious and so quick, too,” English shares. “I could honestly eat them for breakfast every day. The corn tortilla really makes these so I highly recommend you seek them out, but otherwise mini wheat tortillas will work fine. So simple, these will leave you feeling full, satisfied and balanced, plus they\u2019re great served with a dash of hot chilli sauce too.”<\/p>\n
