In this episode I interview Andy Saunderson author of The Psoriasis Cookbook. We talk about his 25 years’ experience with psoriasis, his experience with conventional medicine and how he discovered diet and lifestyle intervention.
Andy’s psoriasis started as just a few small patches in his early teens to being almost completely covered in his mid-20’s. Over the 25 years he tried ointments, creams, steroids and phototherapy, but nothing ever alleviated the condition and his annual visit to the doctor never brought up any new advancements in medicine to clear psoriasis.
He decided to look at whether there were any alternative therapies out there. There were many companies ready to take my money in exchange for remedies that didn’t provide him with anything he hadn’t been offered by my doctor or dermatologist.
During this period of investigation, he did read a number of things which provided him with some hope. There was a consensus that psoriasis could be managed in a different way and treated by healing from within.
Andy set out by listing all of the foods to avoid completely, then all of the foods which were allowed, highlighting those which were highly recommended. He explored additional things to incorporate into his diet and daily routine, in particular, juices and herbal teas. He devised a variety of dishes that would be suitable throughout the year and substituted foods that weren’t recommended.
Over many years of cooking and eating his recipes, he discovered that diet had a significant positive impact on his psoriasis. Making these changes has enabled him to take greater control of his psoriasis.
From here, Andy created a nine-stage process that includes over 100 modern and accessible recipes to assist those who have psoriasis- The Psoriasis Cookbook. This cookbook can empower those that would like to take ownership of their skin condition, to reduce the appearance of it and in a healthy, natural way.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
