As Tom says: 'It's impossible to stick to a diet if the food you're expected to eat is boring and doesn't fill you up. So I've developed lots of tasty and satisfying recipes that people will love to cook and eat, but that will also help them lose weight. I truly believe that this attitude works. I've been there myself and now I want to help others get there too.'

Tom Kerridge worked as a chef in restaurants across Britain before deciding to set out on his own, and take over a rundown pub in the quiet town of Marlow. He opened The Hand & Flowers with his wife Beth in 2005, and it went on to become the first (and only) pub in the world to acquire two Michelin stars.

In 2014 he opened The Coach, his second pub in Marlow, which within its first year of trading received three AA Rosettes, was voted third best pub in Britain by the Top 50 Gastropub Awards, and awarded a Michelin star in 2017.

Tom is also a familiar presence on the nation?s television screens, hosting two of his own BBC series, and at the helm of BBC?s Food & Drink and Bake Off: Cr?me de la Cr?me.

Tom has been developing top recipes for over twenty-six years and knows how to make food taste great. He also understands how much willpower it takes to lose weight, having lost an astonishing eleven stone in the last four years. In his new book and BBC2 TV show, Lose Weight for Good, Tom is turning his chef?s skills to making low-calorie cooking delicious and simple.

Felicity Cloake is a writer specialising in food and drink and winner of the 2011 Guild of Food Writers awards for Food Journalist of the Year and New Media of the Year. Her first recipe book, Perfect is published by Fig Tree. She likes to think she'd try any food once ? although an eyeball recently caused her to question this gung-ho gastronomic philosophy.
