Book review: ‘The Grand Tour Cookbook’

Tinkoff-saxo chef hannah grant shows readers how to cook their way through a grand tour in her newly translated book..

There was a time — and not long ago — that grand tour riders left their diet during the race to chance. There wasn’t any alternative; the quality of race hotels — and their kitchens — varied widely from stage to stage, and you ate what was available because, well, you were hungry.

But in the era of marginal gains, teams have realized the central role nutrition plays in riders’ ability to sustain good form over the course of a three-week race. Teams began by working with nutritionists to improve riders’ diets, and it was only a matter of time before teams discovered a way to solve the problem of the unpredictability of food during the races. The last five years have touched off something of a renaissance in cycling nutrition as teams built custom kitchen trucks and hired full-time chefs to staff those trucks.

Among team chefs, none have built a bigger following than Tinkoff-Saxo’s Danish chef, Hannah Grant . Grant joined the team in 2011 and, in 2013, published her “Grand Tour Cookbook” in Danish, based on her experience cooking for the team at the Tour and other major races.

The book was finally released in English weeks before the beginning of the 2015 Tour de France.

The book is laid out using the rhythm of a grand tour, 20 stages and two rest days with a host of dinner recipes — plus a dessert — to choose from for each day, representing what Grant might cook for the team for each stage. There are separate sections on breakfast and a look at what goes into the musette bags riders snag as they pass through the feed zone. (Since riders don’t get a break for lunch, regular stages do not include lunchtime recipes.)

There are additional sections with instructions on how to prepare the various stocks and sauces Grant uses through the book. Stages and sections are occasionally intercut with rider and staff interviews and other information about food and nutrition.

The layout is smart, engaging, and gorgeous. Virtually every recipe is accompanied by a photo of the dish, so the book is bright and colorful and mouthwatering. At home, I generally cook dinner for my wife and children, and I worked my way through the three weeks of the Tour de France pulling recipes from the book. After all, growing kids are not all that different from stage racers — they need a ton of food, as nutritious as possible.

The recipes are well-presented, the ingredients helpfully listed in the margin of the text with a little code to tell you whether the dish is appropriate for someone eating a diet free of gluten, nuts, or dairy. It’s a chef’s cookbook: The recipes are concise and clear and to the point, but they could be a little challenging for an inexperienced cook. The book’s organization is undeniably a gimmick, but it’s a good one and Grant has clearly put some thought into how the different meals fit into the arc of a grand tour. The book has a clear and well-organized index that helped me find the recipe I know I must have made somewhere during the race’s passage through the Alps, even when I couldn’t remember which stage it appeared in in the book.

During our Tour de France cooking experiment, I didn’t cook from the book every night, but we enjoyed following along, picking out interesting recipes and trying them out. Most of the recipes we tried will go into our regular dinner menu rotation. It’s a good addition to the bookshelf for anybody who enjoys a good meal but is interested in cycling, fitness, and nutrition. It is available via hannahgrant.com and at select cycling retailers.

Book Review – 'The Grand Tour Cookbook' by Hannah Grant

"You are what you eat. I have never been faster..." Michael Rogers

Great review and mouthwatering pictures. I bought this book January 2014 and it is indeed an excellent and inspirational cookbook.

I have had this cookbook for some time now, and the recipes are just so good, I mean really good. The photos in the book are so beautiful, that it is a pleasure just to look at all of them.

PEZ Bookshelf: The New Grand Tour Cookbook

Tour de france cooking.

For a sport that is noted for its conservatism in the professional ranks—both by managers and riders– cycling has, in fact, seen many innovations in the past few decades. Even as the business aspects of the sport still conspire to keep bike racing firmly in a niche, there have been the obvious technical advances, such as carbon frames emphasizing aerodynamics, electronic shifting, disc brakes and tubeless tires. Add to this the exhaustively detailed re-examination of training methods, including periodization, HIIT workouts, the rediscovery of Zone 2, using heart rate monitors, power meters and altitude camps, and the realization that recovery is a useful thing. The third leg of the stool, along with technology and training, is nutrition, and it is surprising how comparatively recent is the discovery that the right food builds the Right Stuff. One of the pioneers in this has been Hannah Grant, a Danish chef who first came onto the scene when hired by Bjarne Riis for his Tinkoff-Saxo Bank pro team. In 2015 her “The Grand Tour Cookbook” was published in English and now we have a sequel, “The New Grand Tour Cookbook,” marking a decade in cycling’s kitchen.

For serious cyclists, food equates to fuel so it is weird to an outsider to see how long it took for the focus on nutrition to become a point of emphasis. In his Foreword to the book, Bjarne Riis writes that when he began as a pro rider in the Merckx Era his team manager thought emulating Merckx was the way to go. Supposedly Merckx ate steak, so it was steak for breakfast, lunch and dinner—tough, nasty steak, according to Riis. As the eventual head of pro teams himself, Riis wanted to do things differently and hence the arrival of Grant. Today all the World Tour teams have at least one dedicated chef, along with professional nutritionists and this has even extended to food trucks to follow the Grand Tours so that the team chef does not have to inconvenience everyone in a hotel kitchen.

After a stint in the Danish Navy (!), Hannah Grant obtained her chef’s diploma in 2007 and went to work cooking in a wide range of environments. In 2010 Riis decided his team needed a new chef with a Michelin-star background to radically change the team’s diet and Grant was chosen from three highly-qualified candidates. She was to remain with the team until 2016, being the only employee in all three Grand Tours, smaller stage races and two training camps each year, being on the road for something like 140 days annually.

She writes: “The plan was ambitious—the team was to develop a completely new nutritional strategy, where variety, taste, and pure ingredients were to be part of the daily life of the team’s riders.” Ambitious indeed as it turned out to be a considerable challenge. She was surprised to discover that “the world’s best athletes were completely indifferent to what the team had planned for their diet and nutrition.” They were habituated to eating soggy fries and white pasta in hotel buffets so the arrival of quinoa, brown rice, fish and vegetable came as an unwelcome change. Over time she came up with a system using a 2:1 ratio: two parts familiar ingredients high one the list of favourites to one part new (“or less loved”) ingredients.

Nobody was going to sort out what was on their plates so everything got eaten. The riders learned that they actually liked some of the less known things and the chef’s job got easier. From her experiences came “The Grand Tour Cookbook” in 2013, translated from Danish to English, German, French and Czech subsequently. One can argue that this book was highly influential and even today a used copy is quite expensive if you can find one so this new cookbook is most welcome.

The book opens with basic information on nutrition (fats, carbs, proteins, vitamins and minerals) and provides a short list of useful kitchen equipment and another for supplies. While the experienced cook can gloss over this part, it is apparent that the book is aimed at athletes wanting to improve what they eat. Her instructions on what to do before using the book to cook are wonderful and will encourage those starting out. There is also good advice on how to actually fuel for training, depending on time and intensity, as well as tips on hydration.

“What does it take to complete a Tour de France?” heads one section. You can see how important getting proper fuel into the system is when considering that a pro cyclist burns 5,000 to 8,000 kcal per day. This means on average over 21 stages and two rest days there would have to be an intake of around 143,500 kcal per rider for the duration of the Tour. This would be the equivalent of 435 kg of broccoli or, perhaps more attractively, 388 litres of lager beer but the author does not recommend taking this route!

Four or five recipes are featured in each chapter, denoted as “Stages” from 1 to 21, plus extra chapters on breakfast ideas and useful things, such as making stock, homemade pasta, and sauces—and even how to properly boil an egg! There is also the most complex index we have ever seen at the back of a book, arranging contents by chronology, plant-based, baked and sweet stuff, energy bars and drinks, etc.

During the three weeks of a Grand Tour it is important to vary ingredients as much as possible so, for example, it is not always chicken done the same way. Going through the recipes, certain ingredients make appearances fairly often, including sweet potatoes, pasta and (hooray for the Canadian Edge!) maple syrup. There are a lot of fresh vegetables and a pretty wide variety of herbs, but nothing not easily found. The only unfamiliar item to me was “dukkah,” an Egyptian roasted nut and spice blend that is actually quite easy to make. Each of the recipes is presented clearly, with ingredients and measurements shown on the left of the text, with instructions clearly set out. Each recipe is accompanied by a full-page photograph of the result.

There are many appetizing foods here, such as “Green Asparagus with Cilantro Sauce,” or “Seared Tuna with Nectarines.” Along with Old Faithfuls such as Salad Niçoise, you will find Magnus Cort’s go-to “Smash Burger” and “Falafel Waffle with Salted Red Cabbage, Pomegranate and Yogurt Dressing” and a lot more to drool over. One of Grant’s important instructions for cooking is to “enjoy your food!”

Interspersed with the guidance and recipes are a series of very enlightening sections contributed by professional racers, current and retired, including Kasper Asgreen, Jens Voigt, Matt Stephens, Ashleigh Moolman Pasio, as well as Team Jumbo-Visma (now Visma-Lease A Bike) consulting sports dietician Karin Lambrechtse. These really set the book apart with their insight into how athletes view and use food.

“The New Grand Tour Cookbook” not only offers healthful and attractive recipes that nobody should be afraid to make, whatever their cooking skill level, but also sound advice for training and racing athletes on how to make the most of that nourishment. This large hardcover book is superbly designed and presented with gorgeous photos and in our view justifies its price (which is not inconsistent with other high-quality publications.

Musette Publishing was started as a vehicle for the publication of Hannah Grant’s books and more information about her and her writing, as well as an excellent blog about food, can be found on her website (see below).

Growing up in the two-wheel desert that was Canada decades ago, Leslie Reissner discovered the joys of cycling when he and a friend rode from London to Munich one summer after high school. Since then, he has done some long distance riding in Europe, including the Camino de Santiago (which apparently entitles him to reduced time in Purgatory), dragged himself over major climbs in the Alps, Pyrenees, Dolomites, Vosges and Appalachians, and even done some racing. In spite of owning 11 bicycles and a cool sports car, Leslie still stays indoors for six months of the year due to the lousy weather and terrible roads in Ottawa but at least he has time to listen to classical music and read a lot of cycling books.
