Pocket Guide to Mod by Paul Anderson
Mod has its roots in in London with a group of young men in the late Fifties who were known as modernists because they listened to modern jazz. Mod culture included fashion, music, motor scooters, and amphetamine-fuelled all-night dancing. During the early to mid 1960s, as mod grew and spread throughout England, certain elements of the mod scene engaged in clashes (often in traditional southern seaside resorts on bank holidays) with gangs of rival rockers. A Pocket Guide to Mod covers fashion including the use of the Union Flag and RAF roundel; music including bands such as The Who, Small Faces and Yardbirds who were associated with the music and locations such as The Eel Pie Island Hotel at Twickenham near London; amphetamines, the mod drug of choice that fuelled marathon all-night dancing; and scooters including Vespas and Lambrettas - often highly customised.
James and Paul Anderson are the duo behind the enormously successful slimming blog @twochubbycubs, which has over half a million online fans. They lost 18 stone between them and went on to share their journey with the world. Their tasty, easy recipes prove that it is possible to lose weight without sacrificing your soul and you can actually have a laugh whilst you're at it. Their first cookbook became an instant Sunday Times bestseller, an Irish bestseller and one of the most popular cookbooks of 2020, with over 3500 5* reviews. MORE ABOUT THE AUTHORS: James is a rakish, slender Geordie dandy who occasionally deigns to write a recipe or a funny story for the blog, but who spends most of his time looking at the fluff in his belly-button and wondering where it all comes from. Paul is slightly younger, though you wouldn't know it to look at him - the stresses of being married to James have left him haunted and as pale as moonlit milk. Paul is the chef and makes beautiful dishes from good, simple ingredients. He also makes a catastrophic mess in any room he's in for longer than a minute. Together they're the twochubbycubs, the slightly spherical pairing behind one of the UK's most successful slimming blogs. Through twochubbycubs, hundreds of thousands of people have discovered that diet food doesn't need to be dismal and slimming doesn't need to be a chore. They say, 'Together, we'll laugh ourselves thin. Or diet trying'.,
