James Anderson

James and Paul Anderson are the duo behind the enormously successful slimming blog @twochubbycubs, which has over half a million online fans. They lost 18 stone between them and went on to share their journey with the world. Their tasty, easy recipes prove that it is possible to lose weight without sacrificing your soul and you can actually have a laugh whilst you’re at it. Their first cookbook became an instant Sunday Times bestseller, an Irish bestseller and one of the most popular cookbooks of 2020, with over 3500 5* reviews. They are the authors of 3 Sunday TImes bestselling cookbooks. MORE ABOUT THE AUTHORS: James is a rakish, slender Geordie dandy who occasionally deigns to write a recipe or a funny story for the blog, but who spends most of his time looking at the fluff in his belly-button and wondering where it all comes from. Paul is slightly younger, though you wouldn’t know it to look at him – the stresses of being married to James have left him haunted and as pale as moonlit milk. Paul is the chef and makes beautiful dishes from good, simple ingredients. He also makes a catastrophic mess in any room he’s in for longer than a minute. Together they’re the twochubbycubs, the slightly spherical pairing behind one of the UK’s most successful slimming blogs. Through twochubbycubs, hundreds of thousands of people have discovered that diet food doesn’t need to be dismal and slimming doesn’t need to be a chore. They say, ‘Together, we’ll laugh ourselves thin. Or diet trying’.
