From the Sunday Times bestselling author and award-winning adventurer Ross Edgley comes the definitive fitness cookbook, which will leave you feeling stronger, healthier, and at your best.

Ross shares over 100 tried-and-tested dishes in The World’s Fittest Cookbook, a flavour-filled toolkit that will revolutionise your food prep and your weight loss, with such tasty recipes such as:

  • Grilled Chicken, Pomegranate & Almond Salad
  • Full English Crumpet Melts
  • Brazilian Bean Stew
  • Crispy Chicken & KFC Style Gravy
  • Glazed Honey & Mustard Beef Short Ribs
  • No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake
  • Pronuts

The World’s Fittest Cookbook is the must-have companion for a fitter, happier self – so you can have your cake and bench-press it too.
