    This invaluable cookbook from popular chef, columnist, TV personality and father of three Theo Michaels holds the answer to the challenges of feeding a family with easy and fun recipes for every day. In your average week you'll encounter ravenous kids desperate for an almost instant after-school snack, you'll often need to rustle up tempting and filling platefuls of something fast, take more time to prepare something special for a sit-down meal at the weekend and occasionally cook for extended family and friends. Among these ingenious recipes there's easy comfort food for those days when the world has conspired against you, dishes that the kids can get involved in preparing, tray-bakes and one-pots (especially useful if the dishwasher has broken), fun Friday fake-away ideas that are kinder to your household budget than ordering in, and a few special occasion treats. You'll find ideas here to suit the fussiest of eaters, veggies and carnivores alike, things to please a sweet tooth, and new ways to put a spin on store-cupboard standbys and get the most out of forgotten food lurking in the freezer. Complete with tips and tricks from a busy working chef, this is the ultimate feel-good family cookbook.

You’ve tried every supplement and muscle-building workout routine that promised big, fast gains, but you’re still just as scrawny as the day you decided to start building muscle. There are a few reasons why it’s so hard to build muscle. The first thing that most people do wrong is approach it with the wrong mindset. To put things shortly, in order to build muscle like you want, you need to create a muscle-building lifestyle and really get your head in the game. At that point, muscle-building becomes something more than what you do when you go to the gym. Another misconception is that in order to build muscle and bulk up, the only thing they need to do is lift weights and that's it.

You have to consider nutrition, supplementation, training and a whole lifestyle change.This bundle will teach you about all the essentials in order for you to build muscle mass and keep it that way.
