A new cookbook by Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge has hit the number one spot in ‘The Mail on Sunday’ weekly list of the UK’s best-selling non-fiction hardbacks.
Entitled ‘Tom Kerridge’s Dopamine Diet: My Low Carb, High Flavour, Stay Happy Way to Lose Weight’, the tome explains how, thanks to a Dopamine Diet, the celebrity cook has shed 11 stone over the past three years.
The recipes feature ingredients that, according to publisher Bloomsbury, trigger the release of the ‘happy hormone’ dopamine in your brain.
Tom’s ‘dopamine heroes’ include dairy products such as double cream and yoghurt, good-quality meats including beef, chicken and turkey, and even chocolate.
Bloomsbury said: ‘By ditching alcohol and starchy carbs in favour of plenty of protein, fresh fruit and veg, you will be eating meals that will help you shed the weight, whilst offering a satisfying intensity of flavour.’
Recipes include spinach, bacon and mint soup; roasted onion salad with fried halloumi; shepherd’s pie with creamy cauliflower topping; soy glazed cod with chilli, garlic and ginger; braised beef with horseradish; Chinese pork hot pot; and chocolate mousse with sesame almond biscuits.
In second place is ‘Rick Stein’s Long Weekends’ by chef, restaurateur and television presenter Rick Stein. Launched to accompany his BBC Two series of the same name, the book features a collection of over 100 recipes from 10 European cities.

In third position is ‘The Bikini Body 28-Day Healthy Eating & Lifestyle Guide’ by Instagram sensation Kayla Itsines. It features advice for a nutritious and sustainable diet and includes more than 200 recipes.
At number seven is ‘Davina’s Sugar-Free In A Hurry’ by TV presenter Davina McCall. Billed as ‘the smart and fast way to eat less sugar’, the book contains refined sugar-free recipes aimed at helping readers keep their blood sugar in balance and lose weight.
