After being forced to spend three weeks apart due to various self-isolation dramas, we finally got back together.

This makes enough for two large servings, but it's an easy enough recipe to double up if you need to. Let James and Paul give you a newfound confidence to get cooking that will have you laughing along the road to weight loss. Perhaps it was the threat of starvation facing us as we looked down at the tiny ‘recommended portion size’ – but we overcame our prawn hatred, and vowed there and then to try to include prawns in our regular rotation. If you follow our example – don’t scrimp on ingredients, and learn to love food rather than endure it – you’ll be on a happier weight-loss journey. No we jest – we have made a special effort with this book to make sure that there’s a good mixture of vegetarian recipes – over a third of the book – and that those veggie recipes aren’t just meat recipes with Quorn stuffed in.

Syns is a term that belongs to Slimming World and, understandably, they would not like us to use it in our cookbooks. We hope you enjoy these meals – all 500 calories or under per serving – and the chat that goes with them (James always comes first; Paul pops up for the notes). But for once we have a genuine excuse above and beyond I saw something shiny on the floor or we’ve been on holiday. serve with steamed rice, sliced radishes and chopped spring onions, or whatever veg and rice you want!

well, welcome to 2021, everyone! - twochubbycubs well, welcome to 2021, everyone! - twochubbycubs

There’s over 700 recipes now in our index and although they don’t look quite so professional in the photos, the food recipes themselves are exactly the same calibre as you get in the book – and for free. He was fine about it, but there was no fucking way I was following it up – I’ve got nowt to be ashamed of, but I’d hate to meet the man who can compete with the girth of his own balled-up fist.

It’s no secret we like meat here at Chubby Towers – I’m never happier than when I’m packed with sausage – but at the same time, we’ve made a special effort with this book to up our vegetarian recipes. I am well, having spent most of the festive period picking Christmas dinner out of my beard and sulking because I couldn’t open my presents early. We have asked fans of our facebook pages whether we managed to cater for vegetarians and it was a resounding yes. This recipe gets pulled out over and over by our followers – it’s a ‘fakeaway’ that takes no time to make, doesn’t have a huge list of ingredients and tastes amazing. Tell me that’s not easy – you add everything into one pan and gently heat until deliciousness ensues.

Honestly, you could fry an egg on my thighs after boot-camp, which to be fair would go remarkably well with the scent of bacon that pervades. This must-have 2 book bundle is full of fast, filling and flavoursome meals designed to help with weight loss. Although the theme of the book is evening meals, and certainly they’re designed to fill that void of an evening when you wonder what on Earth to cook, they translate very easily to lunches and leftovers and for more than a few of them, breakfasts too.First let me begin this post by apologising to everyone because I know I am very, very late with my usual apology about not posting enough and the subsequent fervent and well-meant and then entirely ignored promise to post more. 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.

new book to pre-order: twochubbycubs: dinner time!

This is just a very quick post to celebrate the launch of our new book, and the excellent reviews it has already received. Hooray: back to catty asides and me staring disdainfully at Paul as he struggles to put his shoes on of a morning.Finding recipes and trying new things will always be exciting, but sometimes you just need a meal you know will work, tastes good and requires minimal effort. twochubbycubs: dinner time is a book absolutely rammed full of new recipes focusing on the one meal that matters most – the evening meal! Full-On Flavour is what we do best: amazing, simple recipes perfect for healthy eating, all served with our usual nonsense! Panko is easy to find in most major supermarkets – it’s a dried breadcrumb and is usually in the world foods bit. In my head I felt like Conor McGregor, but I’m sure in the harsh light of the gym I was more John Prescott when he got hit by an egg.
