Fuel Up

Lots of great recipes and info from Laird. Some have commented the book was expensive but its not really because its a padded waterproof book for the kitchen with easy to turn and clean pages.

This isn’t the most comprehensive or largest complication you’ll find, but the recipes are wholesome, healthy, and local ingredient driven! Laird knows his stuff when it comes to nutrition; just feed your body what it needs and listen to it! There’s a mix of quick recipes and “roll-up-the-sleeves-cause-it’s-gonna-get-messy” recipes, but the ones I have tried are definitely worth it! I included a photo of the Salmon Quinoa burgers I made from this book, and they turned out to be so good!

Great set of relatively easy to make recipes that taste great and are great for you. There are some occasional discrepancies with cooking times and portion sizes (well, at least for us non big wave surfers). But overall this is a fantastic recipe book.

Laird takes fueling his body for best performance as seriously and authentically as he does every other topic he tackles.I love this book and the fact that he's done all of the work for us to enjoy the benefits too.

Is there an edition that does not cost $45? Seems like an awesome book but the price point is out of control.

Felt ghost written. None of the recipes seemed to have any kind of personal connection at all (e.g. “i first tasted this while travelling in such and such a place”, or “this is a recipe from such and such a friend” etc), and the names of recipes felt shoehorned in to fit with “surf” branding. I have a hard time believing Laird Hamilton cooks with sunflower oil. There’s also some bits which are pretty much straight up gibberish: “Studies show that if a person gets enough hydration and healthy fats, they can get all the carbohydrates needed from a normal diet.” Finally, and most irritatingly, about 1/4 of the recipes feature Brawndo - sorry, I meant to say Laird’s Superfood Creamer.

If you dedicate yourself to this.. it will change the way you eat, think and train.. for ever.. best food book i have bought

Really enjoyed the book from a legend -Laird Hamilton. Recipes were delicious. Following this healthy regime daily,
