Pinch yourself
Dreaming of losing weight in the new year? Food bloggers Pinch of Nom are set to share more lowcalorie recipes with their second book. MARION McMULLEN learns more
PINCH of Nom bestselling writers Kate Allinson and Kay Featherstone are the UK’s most popular food bloggers. The chef and the restauranteur created their website in 2016 when they decided to lose weight and began sharing healthy, slimming recipes and motivational posts.
Their debut recipe book went straight to the top of Amazon’s charts six months before it was published and their new book, Pinch of Nom: Everyday Light features more than 100 great tasting slimming recipes – all of which come in at under 400 calories.
The friends, from Wirral, Merseyside, say: “We still can’t believe how much people liked the first book. We were overwhelmed by all of the support and by how much people loved making the recipes. We enjoyed watching post after post in our Facebook group of all the recipes being made.
“That’s what it’s all about for us – getting people back into the kitchen and cooking for all the family, while making healthy, calorie-friendly swaps. “Everyday Light recipes have been requested by the community so many times, we’ve lost count. So we’re delighted to finally be able to put all these together in this beautiful new book.”
Recipes cover everything from breakfast, batch cooking, quick meals and the return of Kay and Kate’s popular fakeaways.
They says: “There’s no need to head to the takeaway for your favourite chicken bites! Our popcorn chicken is packed full of flavour and you can adjust the spicy heat to your taste. Serve with a side salad for a complete, tasty meal.”
That’s what it’s about for us – getting people back into the kitchen and cooking... while making healthy, calorie-friendly swaps.
