Easy recipes for touring

In my opinion food is an essential part of life, whether I am on a bicycle or not. Being a cyclist doesn’t mean that food has to be gobbled down, nor that it must be a fleeting, simple meal just to fill the tummy. I will not rapidly exchange extra kilometers for a quick meal. On the contrary: I will stop earlier to cook more elaborate.

Masala spice mix

Thepla is an unleavened bread that needs a lot of work and a simple time-off kitchen but is worth the effort.
