Reviews
"Allen Lim has helped me fill my gas tank for many years: everything from breakfast burritos in Georgia to rice cakes and scrambled eggs in the Alps. Some of Lim's foods are scientific and others just feel good, but one ingredient was always present: passion from the Asian Equation." - Christian Vande Velde, professional cyclist for Team Garmin-Cervélo "I wish Biju had cooked for me all those years I raced because it would have made me faster!" - Axel Merckx, former professional cyclist, Olympic medalist, and Belgian national champion "Biju makes cooking high-quality, nourishing food easy. His recipes are mind-blowingly simply, but their flavors and quality are as high as a five-star restaurant. Biju will inspire you to want to cook." - Matthew Busche, professional cyclist for Team RadioShack and U.S. national road cycling champion "Allen Lim has been an inspiration for the way I eat since I became a pro cyclist. He has always preached eating real, natural foods as they provide far more of what we need for energy and recovery than any supplement. Chef Biju has shown me how simple it is to prepare good, quality food despite the hectic lifestyle of a pro athlete. Together they have found a way to simplify that art of eating right for athletes without gimmicks or hard-to-follow recipes. It's all about what's good for the body." - Lucas Euser, professional cyclist for Team SpiderTech and member of the 2008 USA National Team "I showed up to the Tour of California not knowing what to expect. When Allen and Biju rolled up in their RV to prepare healthy and simply foods, it was exactly what we needed. The food they prepared as a game changer and easy enough to make that any athlete can use the same concepts to up their game." - Jason McCartney, professional cyclist for Team RadioShack and two-time U.S. national time trial champion "There are two important forces at work here. An elegantly simple, practical, application of macro, and micronutrients, and how they are used by our bodies. This is the wizardry of Dr. Lim. Chef Biju's romantic notions of taste, his use of our most familiar, simple ingredients, and his measured, sure-handed confidence in the kitchen. These elements are all brought together in a whirling, laughing, steaming, sizzling, crescendo of an athletes most favorite thing: food." - Jason Donald, professional cyclist for Kelly Benefit Strategies-OptumHealth "Anyone can train when things are going well, but only a true champion can train when everything is going wrong.
