Mate, I have a favor to ask of you...

How often do you tell yourself you’ll pay more attention to your physical and mental health? And how often do you find the time to actually do it? Life gets in the way, I get it. We fail to make time for ourselves and our relationships, and rarely feel like we're doing enough. This is why I’ve made it my mission to help solve these problems, through food and performance. And it’s because of your support throughout my journey that an opportunity I’d always dreamed of knocked on my door. 

Two years ago, I got a phone call that I will remember forever. Because of you, my team, and the hard work we’ve put in, I’ve been given the opportunity to write the book I’ve always wanted to put into the world. The one that I’ve always known can change the game. The one that will have the most impact.

First, it brings together both my vision for what food truly should be and takes away the idea of alienation by focusing on flavor, culture and experience. Secondly, it taps into performance, because as I always say, performance isn’t only for athletes. It’s for everybody. It’s for Everyday Legends who are trying to live their best life, every single day.

I’m so grateful for all of you, and so proud to share my upcoming cookbook Eat Like a Legend, loaded with delicious, super easy recipes to perform at your peak.

We have the lofty goal of being a New York Times bestseller. Not just for me (although that’s been a lifelong dream of mine!) but also knowing that once it hits the list, the amount of impact it’ll have in the world is incredible. So if you want to help us, one of the best things you can do is pre-order. 

Yes, it’s a cookbook. But it’s also so much more. I’ll tell you all the reasons why in a second, but we can’t move on without first talking about all the bonuses up for grabs if you pre-order the Eat Like a Legend now. These incentives will disappear when the book is out on May 21, so don’t miss out.

When you pre-order the book, you get 1 free month of Centr ($30 value) and a chance to win these grand prizes below:

Now, let me tell you what makes Eat Like a Legend your perfect companion to being your best self. My education (Masters in Exercise Science) has taught me that maximizing performance requires a holistic approach. It’s about cultivating energy and supporting concentration, elevating mood and promoting the endocrine system through foods that nurture gut and brain health.

I have dedicated the first part of Eat Like a Legend to diving into the principles that govern nutrition and performance. Topics like how to think better, feel better, move better, sleep better — and of course, cook better! About cooking specifically, there’s a chapter diving into kitchen skills to elevate your game: season like a legend, up your salt game, radical reducing, residual heat, knife sharpening, pantry stocking. Like Chris writes in the Foreword:

I have done the work for you. Every dish in Eat Like a Legend is packed with high-quality, natural, minimally processed ingredients that provide carbs, fats, and proteins and also deliver massive amounts of the unsung heroes of performance nutrition: micronutrients.

All of my careful calculation and critical information is built into the simple step-by-step instructions. All the work is done for you. Except the fun part. You get to do the cooking! Recipes include:

• Acai Bowls (That Are Actually Good For You)

• Chicken Alfredo You Can Eat Every Day

• Crispy Sticky Salmon on Sesame Greens

• Sexy Tofu Scramble with Avo-Dill Salsa

• Game-Day (and Work-Day) Shrimp Tikka Masala

• Pad Thai in a Flash with Sunny-Side Up Eggs

• Gooiest Brownies Ever (You’ll Never Guess How)

I just want to say, again, it’s because of you that this opportunity even came my way. I’ve put the work in, and now it’s all yours. Get a copy for yourself, gift it to your family, your mates — anybody who wants to cook like a legend. I truly cannot wait to have this book in your hands, and see you legends cook all the delicious recipes!

Alright team, the last thing I’ll say is that if you have a dream, if you want to do something for yourself, push the doubts aside and just go and do it. I hope I can help in some small way.

Much love,
Dan
