Haven't cooked any of these recipes so I don't want to rate. Initial impression: there's a lot of grilled meat dishes that include interesting fruits: nectarines, plums, grapes, watermelon. I'm not a big griller so unlikely to make many of these recipes.

Good Housekeeping Easy Paleo: 70 Delicious Recipes by Good Housekeeping (Hearst Communications Inc. 2017) (641.5638). These are recipes which comply with the requirements of “the Paleo Diet” which I have been on for the last month. It's an easy fit for me; the only things I had to give up that I generally eat were rice, grains, ice cream, and sugary snacks. The conceit is that you eat what a cave man ate: meats, fish, and veggies principally and to a lesser extent fruits and nuts. No legumes or grains are allowed. I have read that instead of trying to eat like a paleo man you should shoot for a diet more like your great-grandmother would have eaten: little to no processed foods or sugars (even artificial sweeteners are taboo. I'm losing weight, too! The authors have collected a tasty set of recipes for fish, chicken, pork, soups, veggies, and salads. My rating: 7/10, finished 6/13/17.

Pretty cover, there were a few good recipes, but overall I was disappointed. Hubby and I aren't seafood eaters, and hubby can't stomach cooked fruit, which left us with few recipes we could use. That's not the book's fault, though, so I don't count that too much in my rating. What is the book's fault, though, is the lack of photographs. Today's cookbooks should have gorgeous photographs of the recipes. It matters to me to see how it all plates up. This book should have been a lot better.

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. This one fell a bit short though. There were some weird ingredient combinations that made me wonder if my family would even eat what I made for dinner. I did find a few things to try out however so that's why it got a 3 star.

Great photos. Found some new easy recipes.

2 stars is being generous. This had nothing that I wanted. There was nothing in this book that I would make or eat. The flavor combos were so strange I could not fathom them having any kind of pleasing taste.
