paleo cooking takes a more authentic direction
Rather than attempting to rewrite comfort food classics with paleo substitutions, this book looks mainly to South America & Asia for naturally paleo-friendly dishes that are exotic & full of flavor. The Ancestral Table is well researched & will appeal to the uncompromising cook looking for the most delicious expression of a dish.

This is a very useful book. The author approaches Paleo from the anti-inflammatory side, having dealt with autoimmune problems. After using Paleo to let the inflammation heal, he does incorporate some dairy into many recipes. Health information in the front of the book is geared toward anti-inflammatory information and toxic load, and has footnotes! Instructional information in the beginning is geared for people who may be new to cooking, and a complete table at the end gives amendments for each

Russ Crandall, The Domestic Man in the blogosphere offers a twist on paleo cooking with his new book. Think gourmet paleo cooking. While it may seem like an oxymoron, Crandall pulls it off with aplomb in this delightful collection of eating/lifestyle information and mouthwatering recipes.

As fellow reviewer @Danny mentioned, this book mostly features recipes from around the world that are naturally paleo as opposed to going for complicated substitutions of modern foods. I really like Crandall's food philosophy, which is basically a modernized, more relaxed version of the traditional Paleo diet. Note that includes some dairy and alcohol.
A lot of the recipes, while well-done, are somewhat unoriginal, and you can find similar recipes in other books or for free on blogs or recipe ...more

Russ Crandall, the Domestic Man, has produced a cookbook that will help you to create delicious, wholesome and authentic food. But it is so much more than that. His personal story and journey to heal himself with natural, whole food is very interesting. The cookbook will help you to understand and regain control of the nutritional density in your meals. It is a gift. He shows you the path for escape from the processed food hell that is making our population fat and sick.

The author shares his journey to health and how he came to create and write this book. This book is filled with authentic delicious recipes with clear instructions and gorgeous pictures. I can't wait to try many of these recipes on my family. Most of the recipes do seem to take time, so not a quick last minute, mad-rush for lat minute dinner ideas book, but given the time for prep and time to cook, fabulous meals with opportunities for lots of left overs, my favorite!
Not much here that was new.
I found it annoying that substitutions were listed in a table at the back of the book. Why not just put a line on the page with the recipe: "In place of ABC ingredient, substitute XYZ."

Love this book!
It has so much information. Not to mention great recipes. Highly recommend. Finally a recipe book that uses REAL FOODS!

This was not your typical paleo cookbook--and I love that. There are a few recipes I will be repeating, and I'm very curious to make the Sephardic Jewish-Style Roasted Eggs (Huevos Haminados)!
I liked it so much that I bought a copy!
I got this book from the library to skim for ideas but it was fabulous. I am definitely going to be buying this one for my bookshelf. A great resource.
