About Balance
Balance is a bold, flavour-packed guide to Burmese and Southeast Asian cooking from two NHS doctors who believe eating well should be as delicious as it is good for you.
Burmese food is all about balance – bringing together fresh vegetables, pulses, nuts, fruits, fermented foods and just the right amount of preserved ingredients. The results is vibrant dishes packed with salty, sweet, sour, bitter and umami flavours, with plenty of crunch, chew and comfort along the way.
It’s food that excites the senses while naturally supporting gut health and wellbeing. As practising doctors, the authors have seen how diet shapes lives – and lived it themselves. Between long NHS shifts and family demands, they have found the antidote: fast, flexible recipes that restore energy, bring joy, and fit into real-world routines.
From zingy salads and nourishing noodle bowls to soul-warming curries and indulgent sweet treats, discover simple, adaptable recipes made with supermarket-friendly ingredients.
