Review:

"This is one of those cookery books that will live on benchtops, open and consulted. It is, like Ian Thorpe in the pool, a winner." Weekly Times "You can count on most athletes to get healthy food right, and in the case of Ian Thorpe there's an equally healthy respect for flavour, not just fuel, in his cooking." Sunday Territorian
