Bored of Lunch: Healthy Fakeaways is coming this October, and it’s packed with 100 brand-new recipes to make in your air fryer or slow cooker. If you love the idea of recreating your favourite takeaway meals at home (but for a fraction of the calories and cost) then this is the book for you.

Whether you’re following me on social media or discovering Bored of Lunch for the first time, I just want to start by saying thank you. None of this would be possible without your support – from the very first Instagram post back in 2020, to growing a community of millions, to now releasing cookbook number SIX… it’s been the most incredible journey.

Let’s take a look at what you can expect from Healthy Fakeaways – and why this might just be my best cookbook yet!!

Bored of Lunch: Healthy Fakeaways is all about taking the flavours you love from your favourite takeaways and turning them into healthy, home-cooked versions – with less grease, fewer calories, and a lot more goodness.

These recipes are:

• Budget-friendly
• Health-conscious
• Full of flavour
• Suitable for both the air fryer and slow cooker

I wanted to make a cookbook that helps you ditch the delivery apps without ever feeling like you’re missing out. So whether you’re craving a curry, a kebab, a burger, or a big bowl of noodles – you’ll find something delicious in here to satisfy your cravings.

This book contains more recipes than ever before – a whopping 100 brand-new recipes, all tested and perfected for either the air fryer or slow cooker.

Here are just a few of the fakeaway favourites inside:

• Air Fryer Katsu Chicken Curry
• Slow Cooker Sweet & Sour Noodles
• Air Fryer Smash Burgers 
• Air Fryer Garlic Mozzarella Doughballs 
• Slow Cooker Birria Tacos
• Air Fryer Salt & Chilli Chips

And there are plenty of options if you’re eating low-calorie, high-protein, vegetarian, or just want something easy and comforting after a long day.

Every one of my books brings something new to the table – and Healthy Fakeaways is no different. Here’s what sets this one apart:

Each recipe includes calorie counts and full macros (carbs, protein, and fat), making it easier than ever to stay on track with your health goals – whether you’re counting macros, following diet plans like Slimming World, doing calorie deficit, or just want to be more mindful.

This is my biggest cookbook yet – more pages, more recipes, and more variety. And yes, there’s still a photo for every single dish.

The idea for Healthy Fakeaways came from a really simple place – I love a takeaway as much as the next person, but they’re expensive, often unhealthy, and usually leave you feeling sluggish or bloated.

I started experimenting with recreating some of my favourites at home – using simple ingredients, healthier swaps, and my favourite kitchen gadgets… air fryer and slow cooker. The result? All the flavour, none of the guilt. And it turns out, you guys loved it too. Recipes like Air Fryer Chicken Gyros, Slow Cooker Butter Chicken, and Raising Canes Chicken Tenders became instant favourites across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok – so it only made sense to turn it into a full cookbook.

One of my favourite things about Bored of Lunch is seeing your creations. Every day I get messages from people who’ve:
