I would like to introduce you to a book that I think 'Should' change your life.

It is "Roadcookin"

I have been looking forward to getting this for ages and wanted to dive straight in but domestic life came first.
I had to put the book down until calm descended on the house, and that only occurs when certain members of the family are asleep.

So with the kids in bed I was going to settle down with the book. Then I remembered that Monday night is 24 night. I set 24 to record so I can skip the adverts and picked up "Roadcookin".

I have spoken with the Author and he has agreed to let us post some of his recipes every week so I am going to pick some out .

That is good of him and they will be really useful to all truckers but I think just using a recipe once a week isn't enough.

The "Roadcookin" book really hits the nail on the head on the first few pages by explaining that trucking isn't just a job. It's a way of life.
Because it's a way of life , that means what you eat on the road affects you life and your health in ways that are exclusive to our job.

On average, we will get 45 minutes out of a 12 hour day to cook and eat our lunch out of a packet or a tin. When we stop out over night ,we have to cook and wash and then sleep in our vehicle. Pretty unique circumstances for most jobs.

The "Roadcookin" book is described as a manual as much as a recipe book and you need a copy with you in the cab at all times.

It can be your conscience when you are getting tempted by the quick fix on offer at the petrol station, "Roadcookin" will scream out at you , Stop!

I love the idea of this book and what it can give to all us road workers. And the co author Don has been so generous with his time speaking to me on twitter and on email.
Peaople are encouraged people to email him on his website www.roadcookin.com and he will even draw them up an eating plan . Don has the health of all Truckers both in the USA and now in the UK, close to his heart and I encourage you to take a look for your selves.

I hope for your sakes I get some work soon because I’m planning on getting Mr Motivator a slot on Lorryday  if I  still have to much time on my hands, and you don’t want to see me in Lycra.
