The Cycling Chef On the Go: Ride Day Recipes to Fuel Up, Replenish and Restore
Shortlisted for the cookery book writer award for the guild of food writers awards 2025.
Recipes and expert advice to help time-poor cyclists get moving, stay energised and recover well.
'Top meals from the Michelin-starred chef who is also a champion athlete.' – The Times
'If you're hungry, it's too late' is the cyclists' mantra to avoid hitting the wall with an all-consuming loss of energy. To professional peloton, club riders and weekend peddlers alike, portable foods are as essential as a pump and a spare tube.
Armed with a host of simple-to-prepare, savoury and sweet recipes, Alan Murchison creates a range of on-the-go snacks, unique dishes and smoothies to enable riders to ditch the processed energy bars, sugary drinks and takeaways, and enjoy real food full of flavour.
On-the-go food must be appealing enough to encourage snacking when appetites are blunted and robust enough to withstand being grabbed from a musette. These energy-boosting recipes – including mouth-watering snacks such as Pressed Parmesan and Rosemary Polenta and Bakewell Balls – restore strength and are downright delicious. And instead of impatiently raiding the fridge after a hard day on the saddle, this book is full of post-ride refuelling suggestions that offer irresistible protein-rich recovery alternatives.

We are currently unable to ship to the United States and US outlying islands, Norway, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Iceland.
Why don't we sell to the US?
Due to the recent suspension of the de minimis exemption, we’ve made the decision to temporarily pause all sales to the US. This change impacts how goods are imported and processed, making it challenging to continue offering our usual service to US customers.
We’re actively monitoring the situation and exploring solutions. Once we’re confident we can resume shipping reliably and cost-effectively, we’ll reopen US sales and notify our customers. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
