About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Michel Roux Jr is one of London's most respected chefs. Le Gavroche, the restaurant which he has run since 1994, continues to receive recommendations for excellence in every food guide. Michel's early training in France instilled in him a belief in the simplicity and quality of raw ingredients which he has put to use in developing the recipes that he cooks when he is training for a marathon. Michel has successfully completed the London, New York, Monaco, Tromso (in Norway's Arctic circle) and Medoc marathons. His best time is 3 hours 15 minutes.

Review :
Who for: Keep-fit junkies and gourmets in need of lean food.

Why: Anything that addresses how to eat well and keep fit is worth buying.

The look: Classic modern cook book with beautiful food shots and some mandatory chef shots of M Roux Jr in jogging shorts.

The cooking: Chic, low fat French food ranging from baguette toast with olive oil, extra bitter chocolate and sea salt (snack attack) to calves liver with iwld mushrooms and sweet and sour onion (main course). - THE INDEPENDENT - 2003's best cookery books

Beautifully presented and packed with mouthwatering menus, The Marathon Chef should have a place in every serious athlete's kitchen. - ATHLETICS WEEKLY

Restaurateur and runner Michel Roux Jnr is quite the role model for fit foodies. His hearty yet healthy approach has not only made Le Gavroche a roaring success, but has also spawned a recipe book for those gearing up for a 26-mile challenge. No more running on empty for us. - THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY (25/1/04)

His recipes for runners will seduce anyone, athletic or not. - THE DAILY TELEGRAPH (24 Jan 2004)

... a veritable feast of recipes for anyone seeking to adopt a healthy dieit. Interspersed with tips on preparing to run a marathon, easy to follow training schedules and sample menus, this book crosses the finish line in first place. - DAILY RECORD (24 Jan 2004)
