Alan Murchison is a Michelin-starred chef with ove…

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.

Ashley Palmer-Watts, Executive Chef at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal
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
