And the number one rule when it comes to eating well on a diet is to keep food interesting! Every recipe in this book not only sustains you through the day\, but provides fantastic tastes and textures with each mouthful.’ \nWith light bites and veggie feasts\, meal-prep to see you through the week and tasty sweet treats\, Tom has got it covered. The focus is on BOLD FLAVOURS and BIG PORTION SIZES\, so you’ll never go hungry and you’ll always feel satisfied.

It’s all about taking control of your life in a positive way\, so get ready to EAT better\, DO more and LOSE WEIGHT with Tom Kerridge! \nAbout the author: \nTom Kerridge worked as a chef in restaurants across Britain before deciding to set out on his own and take over a rundown pub in the quiet Buckinghamshire town of Marlow. He opened The Hand & Flowers with his wife Beth in 2005\, and it went on to become the first (and only) pub in the world to acquire two Michelin stars. In 2014 he opened a second pub in Marlow\, The Coach\, which was followed by The Butcher’s Tap. Most recently\, he and his core team launched Kerridge’s Bar & Grill\, which is housed in Corinthia London. His previous books include the bestselling Proper Pub Food\, Tom Kerridge’s Best Ever Dishes\, Tom’s Table\, Tom Kerridge’s Dopamine Diet\, Lose Weight for Good and Tom Kerridge’s Fresh Start.
