It all started with a passion for food
When I experienced how making better food choices completely revolutionised how I and my family felt, I embarked on a mission to help others discover that magic link between what you eat, good energy, vitality and happiness. It’s what I call #Enerjoy!
Three best-selling cookbooks and a Great Taste Award-winning range of Kate Percy's Go Bites healthy snacks later, I’m so happy to have inspired thousands to find their #Enerjoy! Food has always taken centre stage in my life. I recall my Mum giving an 8 year-old me her kitchen and recipe for Maryland chicken. The family loved the chicken much more than the mess I made! Now a Mum of three grown-up children, I totally get that daily challenge providing nourishing food.
My mission to help you #Enerjoy! your life has developed over many years. I wrote my first book, Go Faster Food (Penguin 2009), after changing the family’s diet to help my husband train for the New York marathon. Now a Sunday Times Maserati game-changing entrepreneur, in-house chef for health & wellbeing magazines like 220 Triathlon and Women’s Running, I’ve developed healthy eating programmes for the BBC, Virgin Sport and United Learning Academy Group.
In 2018, I launched Kate Percy's Go Bites energy balls, and am super-proud to have now gained the coveted accolade of ‘Great Taste Producer’.
#Cook5withKatePercy campaign
My exciting #Cook5WithKate campaign challenges, inspires and supports families with the skills to cook at least 5 recipes from scratch. My secret weapon is to keep it real and achievable. And fun! It’s about evidence-based nutrition but always with a practical, pragmatic approach to eating.
Food is so much more than ‘healthy’ or ‘nutrition’. It’s the stuff of life, it’s about enjoyment, it unites. Cooking together, sitting down ‘breaking bread’, discussing the day, your feelings, arguing your point…there’s nothing better!

Nourishment isn’t just about balanced diet, macros, or ‘nutrition’. The way we prepare and eat our food is hugely important too, nourishing not just the body but also the soul.Choosing food together, cooking together and sitting around the table with family and friends sharing stories encourages good digestion, better health and mental wellbeing.

Sometimes we forget the enormous long-term benefits of eating well: improved gut health, better immune function, memory and mood, hormone balance, weight management, stronger bones and teeth, reduced risk of illness such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. And better sleep. All this helps you #Enerjoy! your life.
