Hannah Grant est la cuisinière de l'équipe cycliste Tinkoff-Saxo, tout le long de la saison elle suit son équipe d'un tour à l'autre et au fil des classiques. Elle connaît les apports nutritionnels dont les sportifs ont besoin, mais elle prend aussi en compte les allergies possibles, au gluten, aux produits laitiers ou aux noix, et surtout elle sait toute l'importance d'un bon petit plat et d'une belle présentation. Par ailleurs, Hannah Grant privilégie les produits locaux qu'elle se procure chaque fois qu'elle pose son camion cuisine à l'arrivée d'une étape, sur les routes du Giro d'Italia, de la Vuelta ou du Tour de France. Ainsi elle propose 3 à 5 recettes par jour en 21 jours (autant qu'il en faut pour arriver, en pleine forme, au terme du Tour de France) comme un chou sauté au fenouil et au myrtilles, un poulet au coco, gingembre et citron vert ou encore son dessert "maillot à pois". Ce livre propose une alimentation saine, inventive et équilibrée correspondant aux besoins des athlètes professionnels mais aussi des personnes physiquement actives en général.

Every year, Italy swells with millions of tourists who infuse the economy with billions of dollars and almost outnumber Italians themselves. In fact, Italy has been a model tourist destination for longer than it has been a modern state.The Beautiful Country explores the enduring popularity of “destination Italy,” and its role in the development of the global mass tourism industry. Stephanie Malia Hom tracks the evolution of this particular touristic imaginary through texts, practices, and spaces, beginning with the guidebooks that frame Italy as an idealized land of leisure and finishing with destination Italy's replication around the world. Today, more tourists encounter Italy through places like Las Vegas's The Venetian Hotel and Casino or Dubai's Mercato shopping mall than experience the country in Italy itself. Using an interdisciplinary methodology that includes archival research, ethnographic fieldwork, literary criticism, and spatial analysis,The Beautiful Country reveals destination Italy's paramount role in the creation of modern mass tourism.
