GRAND TOUR PIZZA
SKILL LEVEL MEDIUM MAKES 2 PIZZAS TAKES 60 MINS
Stage six passed by Naples, where pizza originated in the 18th Century. Today, pizza is popular among Grand Tour riders on the night before a rest day or as a celebratory meal.
The Giro d’Italia is over and it’s time to celebrate and digest a delectable three weeks of racing. There is no better way to stick a fork in the Giro – and fuel your riding – than with delicious plates of pasta, polenta and risotto. Traditional Italian food has been a staple among cyclists for decades, and with good reason. Simple yet delicious dishes made with fresh ingredients packed with flavour and carbs, it’s as though Mamma Italy invented her cuisine with cyclists in mind.
Continuing this tradition, I would like to share the following Italian (or Italian-inspired, at least) recipes from my latest book, The Grand Tour Cookbook 2.0. Each recipe is my unique take on a classic, tailored for taste-bud-tantalising flavour but also with a cyclist’s fuelling needs firmly in mind.
