Reinventing Western Cuisine

267 pages, 100+ recipes, 1 goal: cook and eat better than most people to look and perform better than most people.

I have less than 10% body fat, compete in bench press, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and classic bodybuilding, deadlifted 500 lbs for 3 reps, rode my bicycle for 250 km in a single day... and I believe that with a few small changes in your diet, you can do the same.

I took traditional foods and recipes from the Americas (North + South), Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia and modified them to make them follow three core principles:

I. Nutrition first. The food must give you the nutrients you need. The primary focus of all recipes is the calorie-to-protein ratio.

My recipes only contain whole, natural ingredients; absolutely no supplements, artificial flavours or sweeteners. Everyone can create a protein-rich meal by adding a scoop of protein powder, I can show you something better than that.

II. Simplicity. You can’t eat it if you can’t cook it. Most recipes are simple, do not require a lot of time and can be prepared with basic kitchen utensils and appliances. It does not matter whether you have a fully equipped kitchen or nothing but a microwave, whether you eat at home, at work or in your car, in my cookbook, you will find something you can make.

III. Taste. I am not promoting a diet, I am promoting a lifestyle. And if you're going to eat something for the rest of your life, you may as well like it. Food should be something you'll look forward to.

I have visited and eaten in 40 different countries, therefore with my recipes, you'll still get to experience the flavours you know and like - or get inspired by something from a country you have never been to, that's only up to you.

The recipes come with a list of ingredients, instructions, professional, high-resolution photographs and nutritional information.
