Product Description
Fuel Your Workouts with 125 Recipes from All-star Chef-Athletes!
Training hard doesn’t have to mean fueling workouts with flavorless foods better suited to members of the animal kingdom. Just ask the all-star roster of chefs who contribute to Runner’s World magazine’s popular monthly column, the Athlete’s Palate. For five years, the likes of Bobby Flay, Jacques Torres, Charlie Trotter, Mark Bittman, Dan Barber, Cat Cora and many more have contributed the recipes they use to fuel their runs to the column.
Now, in The Athlete’s Palate Cookbook, these dishes along with more than 60 all-new recipes for breakfasts, entrees, soups, salads, sides, desserts, and beverages are presented along side profiles of the chef-athletes who created them. The first of its kind, this gorgeously photographed cookbook includes recipes for:
· Walnut and Banana Bran Pancakes from Cat Cora
· Marathon Fettuccine with Shrimp in Charred Tomato Sauce from Bobby Flay
· Chicken with Quinoa Tabbouleh from Charlie Trotter
· And many more sumptuous meals!
With healthy and delicious recipes for all phases of training along with labels for quick-and-easy meals, The Athlete’s Palate Cookbook is perfect for any runner, cyclist, swimmer, or triathlete who wants to train hard while eating well.

great athlete's cookbook July 28, 2010
C. bratt (johnson creek, wi)
i love this cookbook. i made a different dish everyday for two weeks straight, and there was probably one that my family did not like. i am 32 years old, have been running long distance for quite a few years, qualified for boston with my first marathon, i have four young children who i take care of during the day and work third shift. this cookbook had great recipes that fit our schedule, budget, and tastebuds. i would agree with a couple other reviews that organizing the recipes according to training and recovery would be nice, but i make my menu two weeks at a time, so i plan ahead what i'm making, and i just look it up in the book. also, there are a few recipes that called for ingredients i couldn't find. we enjoyed the book, and i hope you enjoy it also.

I have always had to choose between cooking good food and getting my miles in, especially during the week. This book lets you do both; recipes are identified with both prep and cook time, making it easy to choose what you want to make, and maybe even get a few miles in while it's in the oven. They are also identified as appropriate for "training" or "recovery" to ensure you are eating the most appropriate food at the right times in your training day.

 Not What I Expected February 23, 2010

This cookbook has delicious recipes...but most of them are fairly involved and take a lot of prep/time to make. Unfortunately, the table of contents does not break down the recipes into "Training" and "Recovery". Instead, the contents lists them as "Breakfast", "Lunch", "Soups & Sides", "Mains", "Desserts", etc. Each recipe (when you turn to the actual page in the book) is titled as a "Training" or "Recovery" recipe...but for some reason, they are not indexed that way. How can I look up a good recovery meal or training meal if they're not listed in the table of contents or index that way????
I'm a 38 year old working mom/wife with 2 young boys....ran my first marathon last year and am training for the Marine Corps Marathon this year. I don't have a lot of time to prepare involved recipes and I certainly don't have time to flip thru each page until I find the right training or recovery meal.
I really loved Pam Anderson's recipes in this book...my suggestion would be to find the individual chef's recipes you like and buy their cookbook.
Great Recipes and Wonderfully Put Together February 12, 2010

I have followed The Athlete's Palate column for several years. So, when I heard about this book coming out, I was very excited. The book is very well put together. It is a compilation of recipes from lots of very well-known chefs who also happen to be athletes (triathlons and marathon runners). Each chef has a picture with a bio and each has contributed one or more recipes.
The recipes are also wonderful. My favorite so far is the Barley "Risotto" by Kevin Crawley. Some of the recipes do require a bit more work but I didn't expect them all to be completely straightforward. I am used to having to work for some of the meals I prepare and it is usually worth it.
Overall, I highly recommend it. Very nice looking book as well!
