We’ve rounded up the best Slimming World cookbooks to buy online for 2023 including best sellers.
Following the Slimming World plan just got a whole lot easier. We've taken a look at their most successful cookbooks over the years, including Slimming World: World of Flavours, Slimming World’s best-ever recipes, and Slimming World’s Everyday Italian, which LoveReading's Editorial Expert, Deborah Maclaren, says is one of her favourite cookbooks from the Slimming World collection.
"If you love Italian food, are dieting, or are on a healthy food kick, this is an absolutely must-have cookbook. A great selection of Slimming World recipes - there are even some irresistible guilt-free desserts, including a Chocolate and Banana Tiramisu - which will not leave you disappointed," adds Deborah.
Slimming World is a weight-loss organisation established in 1969. Recipes vary from classics such as roast dinners and curries to healthier Slimming World desserts. Some of the cookbooks follow old Slimming World syn-counting methods, however, the recipes that are in these cookbooks are still healthier alternatives for those looking to eat better.
