there’s so much ‘us’ in this book that it’ll feel like you’re sat down with us for dinner, you poor sods; Thanks guys. I know I’ve said it so many times over the years, but it bears repeating. We would be nothing without you lot buying our books, sharing our recipes and telling everyone about those two fat blokes on the Internet who cook good food. Reading everyone’s nice comments, seeing people actually happy with the food, seeing old cooks and new cooks and everyone in between having a go. Well. You’ll never truly know what that means to us, because, despite being a gobshite who can waffle for days about absolutely nothing, I’ve never quite found the words. Thank you. finely mince that garlic and ginger with ease - get a Microplane grater and you’ll use it every day! of mushrooms – now, get a good mix (the oriental selection in Tesco is absolutely perfect) of types and flavours and chop them up to a good uniform size – don’t just get boring plain mushrooms, you need the flavour Thank you Rachael! I’m glad to hear we’re not the only ones whose life revolves around the toilet. We’re just classy! 🙂 life is too short not to find these things hilarious 😀 by the way, Paul loved the use of the word trumps xThis makes enough for two large servings, but it's an easy enough recipe to double up if you need to. Or stretch the ginger beef noodles out by adding more vegetables. You do you! We’ve seen Twochubbycubs grow from a tiny blog to a behemoth with almost half a million followers ( there’s actually more than 100 recipes in there – I included my fudge recipe as a bonus, and we’ve got you covered with over twenty ideas for sides to go with your dinner too; and Per portion. We’re actually calling book four ‘TWOCHUBBYCUBS: IT’S PER PORTION’. I wish a dish that serves four would be less than 500 calories, trust me! As the blog continues to grow, I thought it would be a lot easier to put all the recipes in one place – so those who are looking for something to inspire them can have a good nosey! I’ve broken them down into appropriate categories.

don't be put off by oyster sauce - it doesn't taste like you think it would, and gives a lovely, rich taste. Try it!Legend has it that if you listen carefully, in the right conditions, you can actually hear Ben from Hartlepool’s arse whistling in the breeze even now. Now come on. Tell me that’s not easy – you add everything into one pan and gently heat until deliciousness ensues. Short of me coming around and feeding you, I can’t do anything more than that!

This must-have, delicious debut cookbook from the duo behind one of the UK's most popular slimming blogs, Twochubbycubs, aka James and Paul Anderson - with 100 amazing, healthy yet filling recipes, all elegantly presented and beautifully photographed and each sprinkled with a mini-blog of total nonsense. For me, well: I have health anxiety and have been trying really hard to minimise my COVID risk, so I thought I’d spiral and go completely doolally, but actually, save for a minor wobble at the start, I’ve been fine! Worst part has been the self-isolation and not being able to go outside: I find myself pressing up against the hotel window and gazing longingly at the folks outside – which given I haven’t worn clothes for a good seven days now must look like an especially obese starfish pressed up against the walls of its tank.Let me finish this question with a plea: if you struggle to cook, please, just start! The best thing you can do is to start cooking – it’s rare the meal will go absolutely wrong and you can always salvage it. But cooking is all about confidence and that only builds with exposure! So go for it! How easy is it to make substitutes for difficult ingredients? add the mince and cook until browned (about 6-8 minutes), then scoop out the pan into a large bowl and stir in the hoisin and oyster sauce and half of the soy sauce and set aside So, with a bit of research, we decided to eat ‘properly’ and the weight fell off. It was a revelation. We discovered that by eating decent meals we didn’t need the rubbish on the side. Our meals were something to look forward to and a pleasure. We didn’t feel deprived. And the results spoke for themselves – we lost nearly 19 stone between us. Social media stars James (right) and Paul Anderson, aka Twochubbycubs, have proved that weight loss doesn’t have to be about deprivation. Here’s how they did it…
