The book was good, and has tons of great recipes for healthy cooking that cover variations on paleo and gluten free diets. The only thing I didn't like about it and marked it down for was that it calls for a primal powder quite often, which I think is a brand with some sort of financial ties to the author or publisher of this book. I think it was a sort of protein powder but I am not sure if you can substitute other brands or if it could be only this brand. It was not all of the recipes and the book did do a lot of good explain the various health benefits of other foods and ingredients.
I received a free copy of Mark Sisson's new cookbook in my last Thrive Market order, and I'm really glad I did! This book has everything—sauces and dressings, smoothies and breakfasts, lunches and salads, starters and small bites, sides, main dishes, and desserts—all of which are simple, mouthwatering, and made with real food. I especially love the little icons Sisson uses to signify whether a recipe is AIP-friendly, dairy-free, ketogenic, no sugar added, vegan, or Whole30 approved, so you don't have to browse through every ingredient first to figure it out yourself—and to make matters even simpler, he also includes macronutrient profiles for each dish. (Watching your carbs? No problem! Sisson takes the guesswork out for you.)
On top of the convenient labeling, it's super easy to customize the recipes to your specific dietary needs. For example, I recently made the Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas, which call for an optional topping of shredded cheese; but because dairy isn't the star of the recipe, my decision to omit it didn't have any effect on the overall taste—they were delicious, and I didn't wake up bloated the next morning.
I'm looking forward to trying the Steak with Romesco Sauce, Baked Bison Meatballs, and the Chocolate Mayo Cake as well!
If you’re Paleo this is probably a pretty decent cookbook. Overall it’s pretty okay, but I don’t love sweet potatoes or anything crusted anything and there’s a lot of that in this. Took a few recipes from here though that I’m excited to try
So the paleo diet is a mixture of good advice and nonsense. That said, and excepting the frankenfood recipes (e.g. paleo waffles) some of the recipes are actually pretty decent.
