Training camp Gran Canaria #teamsaxotinkoff

So I’m Back – New year , new apprentice, new riders – All is good :)
As allways the first job of the year for the chef is the january training camp, where 21 hungry guys have three meals a day, and so My new apprentice and I are busy all day long – but i have managed to squeeze some time out from the kitchen to kick of the new season with a small blog entry.

Ladies and gentlemen… the first foodie pictures of the year.

Greetings from Léon #vuelta2012 #dailystews #saxobanktinkoffbank

Stage 14.

What an exciting day -after driving just over 300km, we arrived to Léon – a city with very old buildings surrounded by buildings from the 60’ies to the 80’ies… weird mix!

After a small walk round town I had to watch the last part of the stage – HOW CRAZY WAS THAT… I was standing in the front of the TV cheering for Alberto very loudly, for a fact: everyone outside could hear me… but it was really really exciting! He did an awesome job i think :)

As a usual part of the day I get greeted by the sports directors with a plan for the evening and the day after – today it looked like this:

Tristan brings the information with a smile!

Menu of the day:

• Apple, caramelized cauliflower, tarragon and heart salad
• black beans, pork tenderloin, pickled butternut squash and red onion
• lasagna with semi-dried tomato
• chicken puttanesca
• rice and pasta
• rosemary sourdough bread
• carrot cake and cream cheese “frosting” with fresh blueberries
• fruit

Early start for me and Troels tomorrow, so I’ll “hit the sack” as one would say

Sleep tight – don’t eat crap food – stay tuned for more !
