His drive and commitment to culinary precision is matched only by his passion and expertise.' Tom KerridgeOver 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.
