Description
UK WINNER - GOURMAND WORLD COOKBOOK AWARDS 2020
'I can't think of a finer chef to have written a book on nutrition and diet for athletes' – Tom Kerridge
A must-have recipe book designed for cyclists of all levels, written by Alan Murchison - a Michelin-starred chef and champion athlete who now cooks for British Cycling's elite athletes. His easy-to-make and nutritionally balanced meals will help cyclists reach their cycling performance goals - this is flavoursome food to make you go faster.
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 are all quick and easy to prepare, and are made from ingredients that are readily available in any local supermarket.
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 goals.

I can't think of a finer chef to have written a book on nutrition and diet for athletes... His drive and commitment to culinary precision is matched only by his passion and expertise.
Tom Kerridge

Alan's dedication to competing at the highest level of sport combined with the creativity and skill of his cooking, make his approach to nutritional cooking nothing short of incredible.

Alan's food is simple, yet tasty and powerful. He's been a key component for my training and racing.
Alex Dowsett, World Tour rider, former World Hour Record Holder and national champion

I suspect journalists would put Alan into the category of “marginal gains” that British Cycling is so famous for, but proper nutrition is a huge gain.
Katie Archibald, multiple world and Olympic gold medallist

Alan Murchison has been pivotal in my transformation from knocking around for Top 10s at national level events to winning World Cups… A game changer.
Dan Bigham, GB track cyclist and multiple national champion

As an athlete your priorities are; nutritional value, ease of cooking and taste. It takes real creativity, passion and a true understanding of the athletes needs to combine all these priorities, you don't have to compromise when you follow Alan's recipes.
Callum Skinner, Olympic gold medallist
