Synopsis: A recipe book designed for cyclists, written by a Michelin-starred chef and champion athlete, who now cooks for British Cycling's elite athletes. This is flavoursome food to make you go faster. Michelin-starred chef, world champion athlete and leading sports nutritionist Alan Murchison presents more than 65 delicious, easy-to-make and nutritionally balanced meals to help cyclists of all levels reach their cycling performance goals. Over 25 years of experience cooking in Michelin-starred restaurants, in combination with first-hand knowledge of elite sport from a competitor's perspective and experience of working with some of the world's best athletes, have given Alan Murchison an insight into the unique nutritional needs of cyclists. A good diet won't make a sub-standard cyclist into a world beater, but a poor diet can certainly make a world class or any ambitious cyclist sub-standard. However, an optimised diet, whatever your potential, will help you reach your own personal performance ceiling. Drawing on the author's Michelin-starred kitchen expertise, The Cycling Chef features more than 65 mouth-watering recipes - including breakfasts, salads, main meals, desserts and snacks, as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes - each designed with busy cyclists in mind. They can all be prepared and cooked in under 30 minutes and are made from ingredients available in a local supermarket.
