101 Healthy Recipes For The Office

Author: admin 20.06.08

You know when you look for something and eventually you find it right under your nose!!!

I have been searching for ages for a decent recipe book that fits with my principles of common sense nutritional habits for the real world. I have come across lots of recipe books that are very good in theory, but when you have to factor in the time needed to prepare the foods, seek out bizarre ingredients and actually having something that tastes and looks good, many books fall short of the mark.

Well Rosa was right under my nose, she is a performance coach at Dax Moy’s Personal Training Studio in London. Having met her briefly earlier this year whilst being coached by Dax himself, I knew little of her background nor the excellent resource that she has created.

The book 101 Healthy Recipes For The Office contains recipes that can be prepared in 10 minutes right through to those taking 60 minutes when time allows. Each recipe is also “Elimination Diet” approved which is Dax Moy’s signature 30 day nutritional plan. I know many of my Top Tip readers and clients who have downloaded the Corporate Athlete handbook will appreciate this excellent resource.
