Description

Mouth-watering plant-based recipes and expert advice to boost energy and performance. As a nutritionist for British Cycling, Alan Murchison knows all about the rise of veganism among cyclists. With cycling and food the twin passions of his life, and a philosophy that food should both be for pleasure and for performance, Alan creates a range of delicious recipes to give the plant-powered cyclists the best possible preparation. A plant-based diet should not diminish performance, and can even improve it with the right balance of nutrients, vitamins, carbs and protein. Alan provides invaluable guidance on meals where protein levels can be enhanced with an array of recipes for main meals, lunches, breakfasts, smoothies, on-the-bike snacks and recovery meals to enable riders to build a balanced meal plan. Recipes include a Cajun-spiced roast pumpkin gnocchi, a coconut breakfast scramble and an impressive Asian-style burger stack. This book shares the Cycling Chef series combination of imaginative recipes, beautiful photography and stylish archive cycling images, accompanied by breakout sections of advice and information, all well-seasoned with Alans now familiar wit and wisdom. It is destined to be a favourite for the growing peloton of vegan cyclists as well as anyone aiming to reduce their meat and dairy consumption.
