Sainsbury’s and Lakeland sell parchment foil so is easy to get hold of and worth obtaining for ease of wrapping and unwrapping. The fourth recipe I tried was for individual bread puddings. Basically it's bread, eggs, milk, sugar, and cinnamon. It's really easy and it gave me 12 lovely little treats. My wife has been eating them for breakfast. I'm going to ride up to the top of a mountain once I finish updating this review and I'm taking a frittata and a bread budding to treat myself at the top. It's a lot better motivation than an energy bar. I have been looking for a book like this for many years. As an aging endurance cyclist I find that I tolerate fast food and gas station cuisine worse as the years progress. I find myself suffering from the bonk or from gut rot more and more often. Several female members of my cycling group have shown me their home-made fuel so I decided to follow their advice and this book was the first step.

In 2015, Sri Lankan scientists discovered that they could more than halve the available calories in rice by adding coconut oil during cooking and then cooling the rice in the refrigerator."

When the rice is finished cooking, transfer it to a large bowl and add the apple, sugar and lemon juice. Pour enough batter into each waffle form to nearly fill all the squares (the batter will expand when pressed). Cook until the outside of the waffle feels crisp. Repeat, using the remaining batter. The first quarter of this book is dedicated to an enlightening lecture on sports nutrition. I was already familiar with much of the information here but it was nice to see the science behind what I had learned the hard way. The only thing I disagree with here is the stress on sodium over potassium in dealing with cramping. Otherwise it is spot on. A simple, real food solution to take on your next long ride or run from the new cookbook Feed Zone Portables. I was not a fan of the athlete endorsements of the authors' work spread throughout the book. Beautiful photographs, but seemed a bit too self-congratulatory.

The recipes are easy to follow with plenty of clear pictures and bits of advice, and the food tastes GOOD. Additionally, they encourage readers to find what works for them and give advice on how to modify recipes or even create your own. From the publisher: When Dr. Allen Lim left the lab to work with pro cyclists, he found athletes weary of processed bars and gels and the same old pasta. So Lim joined professional chef Biju Thomas to make eating delicious and practical. Their groundbreaking Feed Zone Cookbook brought the favorite recipes of the pros to everyday athletes.

There are also waffles, “take and make” recipes that can be prepared in a hotel room (tip: bring a waffle maker), and an “aha” section of the least fussy recipes that you can make with whatever is in your kitchen. For example, instead of layering your rice into cakes, you can just mix it with some blenderized leftovers and scoop it out into balls.

How they taste: Like sweet rice and plain raspberries. Underwhelming, compared to the other amazing recipes in this book. Still beats a PowerBar, though. Mushroom and Swiss Frittata We get this question often. While the answer varies from recipe to recipe, we can tell you that some of the Skratch Team have tested the limits of rice cake stability without any problems. From purely a taste perspective, obviously the fresher they are, the better they will be. From an "are they safe to eat?" perspective, here's what we know: The answer is yes, according to the authors, exercise physiologist and cyclist Allen Lim and chef Biju Thomas. They’re writing for cyclists, but runners and other exercisers have similar needs. I’d recommend ensuring you look closely at the nutrient make up of all the recipes before buying ingredients and cooking as they range from 10g to 50g of carbs per serving (you should aim to eat around 60g of carbs per hour while exercising). In my opinion the effort of buying ingredients, cooking the recipes and storing them is only worthwhile for between recipes with between 20g and 50g of carbs per serving, otherwise you can end up eating a whole recipe in an hour or two. This has limited the use of the cookbook as I'm only really interested in about 50% of the recipes on this basis.
