Eat Bike Cook

Eat Bike Cook brings together 40 delicious easy recipes created to meet the energy demands of cyclists, with tips, hacks and food diaries from women cyclists, both professionals and enthusiastic amateurs.

There are quick, up-and-at-‘em breakfast ideas to charge you up pre-ride, energy-boosting back pocket picnics to keep you going strong while you’re on the road and wonderfully restorative main meals to share with friends once you’ve crossed the finish line.

As well as providing inspiration on easy and tasty ways to fuel for days on the bike, Eat Bike Cook is a celebration of the female cycling community: of the great chat in a cafe mid-ride, of the handful of Haribos that gets you through the last 25km and the shared beer and burger at the end of the day.

With a foreword by ex-GB cyclist Lizzy Banks, recipes by Sunday spinner Fi Buchanan and illustrated with Kitty Pemberton-Platt’s witty infographics showing what female cyclists really eat, and when. Contributors include Indian endurance athlete and adventurer Vedangi Kulkarni, Australian Olympian Tiffany Cromwell, Canadian winner of the Paris-Roubaix Alison Jackson and cycling advocate Shuhena Islam.

A really intelligent & usable format for a cookbook, with insights from some serious hitters like Tiffany Cromwell and Lizzy Banks - clever stuff.
