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
