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

Product Information

Most of the recipes have a colour photograph to accompany them. The recipes use metric measurements and come with easy-to-follow instructions. Included for each recipe is the preparation time, cooking time, and how many it serves (mostly for 2 adults and 2 small children). Some of the other recipes are able to be frozen too alongside those included in the Big batch section. After one hour, when you are happy that the lamb is tender, stir in the cauliflower florets and lentils, and add a little more water if necessary. Simmer the curry uncovered for 25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender. Joe says: "I’m super excited that this book encourages people to socialise with their loved ones whilst staying lean. Remove the tray and scatter over the red onion, chorizo and sprigs of thyme. Roast for a further 15 minutes. Tip the drained gnocchi and kale into the pan and gently stir everything together. Tip the mixture into a baking dish, sprinkle the breadcrumbs all over the top and then slide it into the oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden.

Preheat your oven to 190°C (fan 170°C/gas mark 5). When the oven is hot, pour the oil into a roasting tray and place into the oven for 10 mins.Weekday breakfasts can be a bit of a myth when you've snoozed your alarm and have a Zoom call in ten minutes. I became successful because my workouts were 20 minutes long and my recipes 15 minutes. I wanted to show people that they can lead a healthy life with minimal effort.

I love being playful. Exercise doesn’t have to be serious. But it was very tiring making the series because of Covid. I had to film with each child separately because of social distancing rules. Melt the coconut oil in a large saucepan over a medium to high heat. Add the onions and stir for 4 mins until soft. Stir in the garlic and ginger puree and fry for another minute. Then pour the spicy paste in and 50ml of water. Stir-fry for 2 mins, adding another splash of water if necessary. It's got some delicious recipes which I am excited to try but it definitely loses points on being accessible and on being a cookbook I'll refer to frequently. 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. 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)…The message with children always has to be: “Do your best. If you can’t do it perfectly, have a try.” Don’t judge yourself. Don’t compare yourself. Nothing brings you more into the moment than freezing water Bring to the boil, then take the pan off the heat and stir in the mustard powder, parmesan and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper. These are all recipes that can be easily reproduced and adapted for busy lifestyles and I will definitely be trying some - the beetroot and chocolate cake in particular! I used to, but now I think more about the mental health crisis. I used to focus on physical transformation – leanness, body shape. But during the pandemic I realised that it’s with mental health that people need help and motivation. Without a healthy mindset and the energy you get from exercise, life feels a lot harder. If you look at exercise from a mental health perspective, the body will follow. Whilst it's good to get the children involved in food preparation and cooking from a young age and this book sets out to do this, it's not quite as family-friendly as I'd hoped it could be. Like I said at the beginning the ingredients are too adult, though I do think my family would enjoy the Super-simple Rosemary Lamb Stew.

Meanwhile, make the cashew cream. Place the cashews into a bowl, cover them with boiling water and leave to sit for 30 minutes, then drain, discarding the water. Tip the cashews into a blender and blitz until smooth. Keep to one side until needed. 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. 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. I had a really unhealthy diet. My mum had me at 19 and didn’t know how to cook. Junk food was all she knew. She used to go to Iceland where there were lots of buy-one-get-one-free offers. I got into cooking at university. I’m still very greedy. I love chocolate and ice-cream. I eat way more than any average person, but because I exercise five to six days a week I get away with it.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. 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? The Workout Badges will be available on The Body Coach TV YouTube channel and on the YouTube Kids app, starting 22 September 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.

I found it very easy to navigate my way through the book. The recipes are easy to follow, with clear cooking instructions, and I really appreciate the accompanying photographs and illustrations so that I can see what the end result should look like. The family photographs are beautiful and add a colourful, personal and cosy feel to the book. I also thought they were entertaining and they made me smile.I used to think if I tried drugs, I’d become an addict. It frightened me. I suppose I am addicted to social media… and to helping people. I’m very purpose-driven and get a buzz out of that. I’m obsessed with doing more content, more videos, going to other countries. With thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan Bluebird for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
