THE “IRON CHEF” – PART 3

The particular situation that forced all of us far from the races didn't stop us, teaming up with our Vision sponsored triathletes for a new, funny and tasty project: The “Iron Chef” Cookbook.
Our triathletes submitted their favourite homegrown recipe that fuels them or is a favourite healthy snack. All made from scratch in their own kitchen, of course.
Of course, this has been a fairly easy project to undertake since it entails one of an athlete’s favourite activities- eating!
Are you ready? Let dive with us in a unique cooking experience!
