As an Olympic cyclist, Emma got fed up with processed sports products and longed for real, tasty food. She developed a better way to fuel on the move, making her own snacks based on that breakfast of champions: oats.

In this cookbook she shares her recipes for portable nutrition. They are delicious, easy to bake at home, and perfect for on-the-go healthy snacking.

Alongside, Emma tells the story of her career as an athlete – from a childhood getting picked last at sports to clueless beginner cyclist, eventually reaching the heights of the Giro d'Italia, Olympics, and becoming world champion. Relatable and inspiring, she describes challenges as diverse as a paralysing fear of crashing, what it means to wear the wrong socks, bike sizing for small cyclists, race tactics, and sexism in cycling. Her adventures range from carrying her bike across the Pyrenees to racing a gorilla, from standing on an Olympic podium to learning to cope with failure. Emma’s story will motivate everyone to explore their sporting and snacking potential.
