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 he joined professional chef Biju Thomas to make eating delicious and practical. Their groundbreaking Feed Zone Cookbook brought the favourite recipes of the pros to everyday athletes.

In their new cookbook Feed Zone Portables, Chef Biju and Dr Lim offer 75 all-new portable food recipes for cyclists, runners, triathletes, mountain bikers, climbers, hikers and backpackers. Each real food recipe is simple, delicious, easy to make and ready to go on your next ride, run, climb or hike.

Feed Zone Portables uses all the most popular features of The Feed Zone Cookbook, including quick and easy recipes for athletes, beautiful full-colour photographs of every dish, complete nutrition data, tips on why these are the best foods for athletes and time-saving ways on how to cook real food every day.

You can try out new rice cakes, two-bite pies, griddle cakes, waffles, baked eggs, sticky bites, rice balls, paninis, cakes and cookies. Wherever you go, these real foods will nourish your best performance.

Reviews for Feed Zone Portables: A Cookbook of On-the-Go Food for Athletes

Food for a faster you. The recipes are simple, with generally eight ingredients or fewer, and take little time to prepare. -- Outside Primarily designed for cyclists to eat while riding, [these recipes] work just as well for runners when they've stopped running for exercise and started running to get to where they need to go on time. -- Runner's World You won't look at on-the-bike fueling the same way again. -- Triathlete magazine More than 50 of the recipes are gluten-free, and most are vegetarian. All are designed for making quickly, and eating on the bike. -- BikeRadar.com This is the perfect book to plan what to eat on the bike, especially if you've found yourself dreading having to eat one more packaged bar or energy gel on long training rides. The recipes are also really easy, making it perfect for those who don't like to spend lots of time in the kitchen. -- Active.com The genius of Feed Zone Portables is this: The book sits at the intersection of reality and practicality. With a little pre-planning, these items (all easy, all developed in Thomas' home kitchen) can be taken with you for nourishment on a hike, on a ride--or simply to work or on a road trip. -- 5280 magazine Whether you're like me or just a casual Sunday cyclist, you're going to love Feed Zone Portables. Don't be surprised if you ride longer and harder than ever before. -- Taylor Phinney, professional cyclist for BMC Racing Team and 2-time Olympian My gold medal ride in London was fueled by Biju's Oatmeal. -- Kristin Armstrong, professional cyclist and 2-time Olympic gold medalist, 2-time UCI World Time Trial Champion Eating real, flavorful, and simple food was a revelation. -- Tim Johnson, professional cyclist for Cannondale P/B Cyclocrossworld.com Feed Zone Portables introduces an entirely new genre of food for training and exercise. -- Timmy Duggan, professional cyclist for Team Saxo Bank-Tinkoff, USPROm
