This is THE cookbook for anyone interested in getting fit - intermittently at the gym, running for fun, or as a serious marathon runner. These recipes were developed by Michel Roux Jr as he started running, initially as a casual jogger 10 years ago, and now as a veteran of eight marathons.
Michel developed the programme by trial and error, based on how his body felt and reacted to what he ate. While training he largely avoids red meat and animal fats, eats lots of fish, fruit and vegetables, some chocolate, and plenty of bread, and drinks a reasonable quantity of wine. Many of the book's recipes have become regulars at Michel's world-famous restaurant Le Gavroche.

The good news is that red meat, wine, cheese and butter stay on the menu, although, as Roux says, based on his own experience the desire for these technically unhealthy foods diminishes with exercise. For the most part, the food is simple, lively and uncomplicated: among the main courses, Minced Lamb with Preserved Lemon (served with couscous), Poached Chicken Supreme with Pearl Barley Broth, Grilled Mackerel with Green Asparagus and Anise-Flavoured Cauliflower Cream are all good examples of Roux's light touch and eclectic approach. There is a good selection of breakfast dishes and a fine collection of mostly fruit-based desserts. The interspersed pieces of advice for runners are in no way off-putting for the unathletic. --Robin Davidson
