Synopsis

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.
