Dr Clare Bailey Mosley recently shared a heartwarming and bittersweet memory while working on her new cookbook, “The Fast 800 Favourites.” Amidst writing, she stumbled upon a hidden chocolate stash belonging to her late husband, Dr Michael Mosley, which she described as a “message from another world.” This moment captures the playful side of renowned TV presenter and health advocate Michael, who dedicated his life to improving the nation’s wellbeing but harboured a notorious sweet tooth! 🍫


Michael, who sadly passed away in 2024, was a transformative force in health and nutrition, known for championing the 5:2 diet and fasting. His beloved wife Clare fondly remembers their shared culinary journey, including the memorable dishes from their own kitchen featured in her new book. As Clare navigates life without Michael, she lovingly continues to embrace the healthy eating philosophy they both advocated—packed with protein, fibre, and Mediterranean flair.

A touching tribute to Michael’s legacy, “The Fast 800 Favourites” is filled with recipes that reflect their life together, from Michael’s favourite chorizo omelette breakfast to meals that bring their family together around the table—a tradition they cherish to honour his memory.
Their commitment to health extends beyond their home. In memory of Michael, the Mosley family has teamed up with King’s College London and the Chronic Disease Research Foundation to continue vital research on metabolic health.
Clare’s latest book isn’t just a collection of recipes; it’s a celebration of love, food, and the memories created in the kitchen. It also reminds us of the power of gathering with loved ones, emphasising that cooking and eating together can be the glue that holds us through even the toughest times.
“Fast 800 Favourites” is available now, capturing the vibrant spirit and dedication of Michael Mosley, whose impact on health and wellbeing continues to inspire. 🌟
