Joe's Family Food: 100 Delicious, Easy Recipes to Enjoy Together

Product Information

Joe says: "I’m super excited that this book encourages people to socialise with their loved ones whilst staying lean. The Celebrations recipes are unusual. They seem more in keeping with middle-class party food, courgette fries, marmite & spring onion straws or avocado mint choc chip ice cream. It’s an uplifting story about a bear family who go on a wonderful day out in the woods. It’s about getting active and having fun (and getting caught in the rain)… I found I wanted to try only about half of the recipes listed either because they were not to my taste (if you love fish and beetroot you are on to a winner as they are featured frequently) or because I anticipated having difficulty getting some of the ingredients - banana shallots and carvolo nero for example. I also wanted more context to some of the dishes - what is a shakshuka and what culture is it from?

Whilst not all of the recipes appeal to me, a large percentage do. I’d say there’s something for everyone. There are plenty of recipes in different sections: speedy suppers, bung it in the oven, on the hob, big batch cooking, meat free, cooking with kids, celebrations and a number of ‘Cook’s Tips’. I don’t have any children [yet] but I’d still eat pretty much everything in here [the book]. Filled with swaps to cater to all tastes and ideas for involving the kids when you’re cooking, this flexible cookbook will soon become your family favourite. Remove the tray and scatter over the red onion, chorizo and sprigs of thyme. Roast for a further 15 minutes. Each recipe is specially designed to please every family member, leaving you all feeling healthy, happy and satisfied. Going out on my motorbike (a Triumph Bobber). Or taking the kids to Richmond Park or Virginia Water Lake. My garden is a little sanctuary. I’ve got an ice machine, a metal bath I fill from the hose and then I throw in lots of ice. I’ll lie in there for four or five minutes and it’s amazing. Nothing brings you more into the moment than freezing water.There are days when it wears me down, not so much my posts as messages from people who are struggling. I try to reply. I’m constantly giving out energy. But I can put my phone away. The first few hours I’ll miss it, but as each hour passes I feel lighter: I’m not in demand, no one can reach me… it’s a nice feeling. Remove from the oven, add the spinach and carefully stir it through so it wilts a little in the heat. Serve. As the proud dad of two kids, Joe understands the realities of life as a busy parent. Sometimes you’re short of time, and it’s hard to come up with a balanced meal when you have a thousand things to think about! This book does the hard work for you, so cooking and sharing nutritious food can become a social, fun activity for your family.

With 100 healthy, tasty, simple recipes to feed the whole family, this book is sure to provide new favourite go-to meals for speedy suppers, celebrations and everything in between. Each recipe is specially designed to please every family member, leaving you all feeling healthy, happy and satisfied.I’ve never been overweight. I was a skinny child who loved PE and sport. I used exercise as a coping mechanism… The Workout Badges will be available on The Body Coach TV YouTube channel and on the YouTube Kids app, starting 22 September Let’s face it, breakfast tends to be the most rushed and least inspired meal of the day (mainly due to most of us being time-poor and over-tired). In fact, according to a recent YouGov study, fewer than half (49 per cent) of us actually eat breakfast seven days a week – with 13 per cent skipping it every day.
