For cyclists, triathletes, and other endurance athletes, appetite often outpaces kitchen know-how, meaning that warm-ups are about dynamic stretches, not oven preheating times. But hungry athletes need their calories, and this book provides a buffet of options so they can take the training wheels off in the kitchen and race to satisfying meals tailored to the intensity of their rides. From pre-ride carrot-cake waffles and mochi cakes to savory sweet potato scones, portable fuel like pasta and pizza, and satisfying protein superstars such as sardines and salmon, the recipes will appeal to all types of athletes and eaters. 
VERDICT With its up-front advice, easy options, and performance-focused recipes, the latest from Murchison (The Cycling Chef: Recipes for Getting Lean and Fuelling the Machine) will share podium space on athletes’ shelves with books such as The Feed Zone Cookbook by Biju Thomas and Allen Lim and Run Fast, Eat Slow by Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky.
