The Marathon Chef – Food for getting fit (Michel Roux Jr)

Product Info

Roux’s early training was in France, where he learned the importance of simplicity and of using only top-quality raw ingredients. This book was compiled in 2003, when he had been a runner for about 10 years. From a casual hobby, jogging became more important in his life, and he had trained for and successfully completed 8 marathons when he decided to share his program. When he is in training, he basically avoids red meat and animal fats; eats lots of fruit and vegetables; plenty of bread; some chocolate; and a reasonable amount of wine. Therefore, these are the parameters for the recipes in this book: using seasonal ingredients – full of taste and of nutritional value – prepared as simply as possible. The book has lovely photos, approachable recipes and readily available ingredients. It is a 2003 UK first edition in excellent condition, with dust jacket. Ingredients are in metric measures.
