Getting us all back in the kitchen

The Body Coach Joe Wicks returns with a new cookbook, Protein In 15

"My little boy, he had leftover Thai green curry for breakfast yesterday," says Joe Wicks, 40, deadly serious. "It had baby corn, mangetout, chicken, not even any rice, it was just the actual curry, and he loved it. And it's like, why do I need to give my child sugary cereals when that's just been sold to us as an option by food companies?

The dad of four - to Indie, seven, Marley, six, Leni, three, and Dusty, one - points out that when he went to Indonesia, rice, curry and daal were common breakfast fare. "This is really what your body wants, not the low fat yogurt, granola and juice," he says. Hence why in his new cookbook, Protein In 15-chock-full of high-protein meals for the whole family (not just weight lifters) – he says any of the recipes are great eaten first thing. "It's a bit weird, but it tastes just as good," he buzzes. "It's real food. It's better than something you grab on the go, or a chocolate croissant and a coffee."
