Spice up your life with Slimming World’s new recipe book!
It may have topped the polls as one of the nation’s favourite cuisines for decades, yet a delicious spicy curry hasn’t always been seen as a slimmer’s best friend.
Slimming World’s latest recipe book Curry Club, which shows slimmers how to satisfy any korma-cravings or tikka-temptations without derailing their weight-loss goals.
Packed full of more than 60 classic spicy (or not-so-spicy) curry dishes, Curry Club caters for all tastes – with Indian classics such as lamb bhuna, chicken tikka masala and Goan prawn curry, through to curries with a twist, like Japanese chicken katsu curry, Indonesian beef rendang and Thai green fish curry.
Oliver Maxey, Cookbook Editor at Slimming World, said: “Many people think trying to lose weight means giving up all of your favourite foods and being really restricted in what you can eat. That’s absolutely not the case with Slimming World though – making just a few healthy swaps means that you can enjoy delicious dishes like curries and still lose weight. Herbs and spices can be used freely on the plan without weighing, counting or measuring, which allows us to pack our recipes full of flavour without the need for oodles of cream or fat. Our members never have to feel hungry or deprived, or guilty about the food they’re eating. It’s healthy, fresh, delicious food that everyone can enjoy.”
Losing weight doesn’t have to mean a diet of just lettuce leaves – it can be exciting, flavoursome curry nights.
As well as mouthwatering mains, Curry Club also caters for those who fancy a bit on the side, with recipes for complementary dishes like Classic pilau rice, Saag paneer, Bombay potatoes and Chana masala. And if you really want to roll out the red carpet and go for the full restaurant experience, you can rustle up sizzling starters like Carrot and onion bhajis, Beef satay skewers or Masala-grilled squid.
Every recipe in Curry Club is perfect for those following Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan, which allows slimmers to satisfy their appetite on everyday foods like fruit and veg, meat, chicken, fish, pasta, rice, potatoes and more, so there’s no need to go hungry while losing weight.
Oliver continues: “For the first time we’ve also printed a hashtag inside this book – #swcurryclub. Our online communities are full of pictures of delicious Slimming World meals and we know that thousands of members take inspiration from them. Hopefully with #swcurryclub we can gather all of these great images in one place to show people that losing weight doesn’t have to mean a diet of just lettuce leaves – it can be exciting, flavoursome curry nights. In fact, with Curry Club, every night can be curry night!”
The collection suits all cooking abilities and each recipe is accompanied by a photo of the finished dish to help inspire even the most inexperienced cooks.

Slimming World was founded by Margaret Miles-Bramwell (OBE, FRSA) in 1969. There are now more than 18,000 groups held weekly across the UK and Republic of Ireland via a network of 4,000 community-based Slimming World Consultants, who receive specific training in the role of diet and physical activity in weight management, as well as sophisticated behaviour-change techniques.
Slimming World’s healthy eating plan, Food Optimising, is based on the science of satiety and energy density. Our phased activity programme, Body Magic, eases members into activity until it becomes an intrinsic part of their daily routine. The principles behind Slimming World’s philosophy are based on a deep understanding of the challenges faced by overweight people and a recognition that those who struggle with weight carry a double burden, the weight itself and a burden of guilt and shame about their weight. Slimming World’s programme integrates practical, up-to-date advice with a highly developed support system based on care and compassion, and Consultant training focuses on facilitating behaviour change in a warm and friendly group environment. Consultant training is delivered through the Slimming World Academy. Slimming World also invests in a comprehensive research programme to develop its support for long-term weight management. The group support provided by Slimming World is recognised as effective by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the NHS.
