Yellow is the sun, the summer, the youth! It’s a very energizing color, and such fruits and vegetables deliver us exactly this – energy to live and conquer our limits. WHERE IS THAT SUN? Within the 5 colors of vegetables and fruits, we distinguish yellow and orange as one „color”. These vegetables and fruits, above all, […]
Carb, protein, oat, fruit – gels and energy bars are the basic fuel of every runner. They are in bulks on the shelves, both in grocer’s and specialized stores for runners. I offer you today an extra-fast energy bar, in the „raw” version, i.e. without baking. In the internet there are loads of recipes for eneryg bars. Sometimes, […]

Tagliatelle is my favourite type of pasta. Good tagliatelle sticks well to the sauce, but it also looks good with solid pieces of vegetables. Today in a brilliant combination with oyster mushrooms in cream sauce. Yum-yum! Pasta is inseparably associated with running, all thanks to the ubiquitous „pasta party” before the marathons, when runners shove in tons of […]
Vegetables and fruits vary, sometimes radically, in terms of appearance, taste and color. We use all these qualities to diversify our meals, but have you ever wondered if there’s any meaning behind the individual colors of vegetables and fruits? Is this diversity of colors just a freak of nature – just for the fun? Well, […]
Yet again I bought too many bananas and they’re overripe now… what to do, what to do… no time for banana bread, but I won’t throw them away (I hate throwing food away). Sickeningly sweet, sticky … I know! I’ll make some quick, delicious oatmeal cookies! „True story” – as they say. The idea came to my mind after I […]
Polenta is a traditional dish of Italian cuisine, originally made of chestnut flour, now usually with corn flour or cornmeal – you cane make it sweet or savory, for breakfast or as an addition to dinner.

Be it a longrun or a running competition, it always brings to my mind a cornmeal or semolina porridge. It’s a quick and easy to digest breakfast, giving a kick of good energy.

A favorite snack of runners and vegetarians – peanut butter. Available in different flavors, but my favourite is classic – 100% roasted peanuts.

Today I offer you a quick and simple recipe – a spanish tortilla, i.e. omelette with potatoes. In Spain it is supposed to be eaten cold… for me, an omelette must be hot! The tortilla is a great idea for a quick dinner or supper (half a serving). It is a balanced meal rich in carbohydrates, […]
Carbohydrates are very important for us – from them comes the energy needed by our muscles to function properly. It is particularly important for runners and other athletes – but how do we know when to eat? Some products give quick but a short boost of energy while others release it slowly and steadily, giving a feeling of satiety for […]
Pumpkin soup is a typical autumn soup made in thousand different ways. My favorite taste is a slightly spicy cream with ginger and coconut milk – it has a really unique flavour. It’s a magical soup as it disappears before it’s even ready ;-) RECIPE INGREDIENTS (4-5 servings): 1kg pumpkin 1 l vegetable broth (homemade or concentrated) 2 […]
Lasagna is one of my favorite cheat meals, i.e. dishes I serve myself as an exception from my regular diet or a planned meal before the major race. In such a case the large amount of calories (especially carbs) is most welcome. Spinach lasagna is as good a carbo-loading meal as a regenerative meal after […]
Buckwheat with cottage cheese has that special something. This combination of flavors is really excellent – you need nothing more. Just put it on a plate … or try a little harder and make it a refined dish. For vegans I suggest a green pea puree – equally tasty. And how about preparing both versions at the same […]

At […]
