I need some new things to cook for my family and am on a low carb diet from my doctor, so Paleo is one of the diets that usually has some great ideas for meals. As always I found some great recipes in this book. She's one of my go to Paleo cookbook writers.

This is not a useful cookbook. Like in their first book, the authors are a bit wishy-washy about what "Paleo" is or means. In this book, they do come off more as "find out what works best for you." The recipes all seem fussy, with ingredient lists that go down the whole length of the page sometimes. Canned items, butter, and coconut products are in nearly every dish, so not useful for me. Specialized equipment, including spiralizers and insta-pots, are also featured. I still wouldn't recommend this even for eaters with fewer restrictions: none of the recipes seem particularly special and in general the notes, introductory paragraphs for each recipe, and other writing all seems forced-folksy.

I follow paleo/keto eating but I am also a very.. very simple cook as I don't like "fancy" or many ingredients. I like to keep things simple and easy... although this books says that in the title and may be to some... it is not to me. I have found much simpler recipes that I enjoy preparing over what these sound like they would take.

There are a couple recipes in here I’d be interested in trying, but most of the meals were a little more involved than I’d like for a “weeknight.” I also was not surprised after browsing the recipes to see the author comment that her family likes spicy food. Unfortunately since mild taco seasoning is too spicy for my kids, I’m not interested in attempting any recipes that involve wasabi.

Decent and simple recipes. They don't look super tasty, but I could add a few tweaks to them to make them match my palate.

Great ideas for weekday meals.
