Social media star Joe Wicks is publishing a new cookbook

Having family and friends over in your home means two things: fun and food. However, these gatherings can often result in bags of crisps, chocolates and greasy burgers.

Fitness influencer Joe Wicks is looking to change this with his new cookbook.

The social media influencer and author - who is known as @thebodycoach - is publishing his fourth book, Cooking for Family & Friends in June.

The cookbook contains more than 100 lean recipes that will entertain while being wholesome.

“There is nothing in life that makes me happier than hanging out with my family and my best mates,” Wicks said. “So I’m super excited that this book encourages people to socialise with their loved ones whilst staying lean.”

He shows readers how to host delicious dinner parties and summer barbecues that don't sacrifice on taste.

Wicks was named as the best-selling non-fiction author of 2016 after publishing his Lean in 15 trilogy last year which became the 2^nd best-selling cookbook of all time.

Expect recipes - with cheeky names - such as The Lamb Shank Redemption, Joe's Big Meaty Balls and Nanny Kath's Beef Stew. Sides come in the form of garlic mushrooms and halloumi dippers, with puddings such as sticky toffee to satisfy your sweet tooth.

The personal trainer and online nutrition coach has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and set his mission to help make healthy eating a way of life as oppose to a short-term diet fad.

A healthy cookbook that doesn't sound 'healthy'? Sounds good to us.

Cooking For Family and Friends by Joe Wicks is available from June 1 (Bluebird, £20)
