The Real Paleo Diet Cookbook: 250 All-New Recipes from the Paleo Expert Hardcover – March 3, 2015

This is one of my favorite Paleo cookbooks (I have a lot of them). I have tried several of the recipes and they all turned out great. A repeat recipe is the chicken tomato carrot vodka one (I would look up the correct name but I have a cat on me and can’t get up.) The recipes can be more involved and sometimes require more ingredients and spices to be on hand but that is the way I personally prefer to cook. I have Paleo books that have simple recipes and some that take more time and effort. When I want to new recipe that I know will taste more complex I will look through this book. Plus the more you cook the faster you get. There are a ton of recipes in the book. Not all recipes have a picture but each recipe has a little blurb about it which I tend to like in cookbooks. And prep and cook times, serving size, etc which I think is essential. I also have Loren Cordain’s newer book with easier recipes but I tend to use this one more. Food to me really does taste better with more ingredients and spices so if I have the time and want to cook something a little more special, I will reach for this book.

This diet was recommended to me because I have the auto immune disorder Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I can't say that I am in love with the diet simply because I'm not used to it but I can say that I definitely feel better since I started it. It took 7-10 days to feel the difference but I certainly did. I would recommend it as it is useful and beneficial to many for many different reasons.

Delicious recipes that will keep seasoned cooks (or not so seasoned cooks) interested in staying Paleo. Excellent variety. One suggestion - more photos please. following new recipes is easier when you know what the end result should look like. This is the big advantage to home delivery companies like Blue Apron. Wouldn't be surprised if someone comes up with a way to develop a Peleo option.

The big problem I have with this book is that the recipes are just too involved. Way too many ingredients and a lot of them aren't items you would normally have on hand. So unless you just dedicate your day,week, or life to meal preparation then this book may be a little overwhelming.

I've made a lot of receipes out of this book and they are very tasty and healthy. The quality is like eating at a 4 or 5 star restaurant. The downside is spending more money on the meats, which I buy at a grocery store and not from someone selling buffalo meat. You also have to buy seasonally, so I'm still adapting to eating different vegetables but I consider this a positive. I've come to love brussell spouts, of all things. After not eating healthy my whole life, I still struggle abstaining from refined sugars but I feel healthier. I've lost some weight and can move better and walk up 3 flights of stairs without losing my breath. If you purchase this book/lifestyle, I recommend you do so from the perspective of becoming healthy and not just losing weight. You do spend more time in the kitchen cooking, so if you want a quick meal all the time, this is not for you. You can consider cooking ahead and then just pulling things out of the freezer or fridge during the week.

I absolutely LOVE this cookbook. There are so many delicious recipes in here. I highly recommend it -- it's one of the best tools if you're on a Paleo diet, but anyone will enjoy the recipes because the dishes are so flavorful. My two favorites so far are the Pork Chops with Macadamias, Sage, Figs, and Mashed Sweet Potatoes, and the Grilled Flat Iron Steaks with Chipotle-Caramelized Onions and Salsa Salad. I started the Paleo Diet a few months ago, and was feeling limited with the foods I was eating just trying to come up with recipes and concoctions on my own based on approved food lists. Now I look forward to my meals, and trying out different recipes.

Great book. The science of food and how various foods and food groups affect our bodies. A must read. Since.i changed my eating habits thanks to this book I have lost 14 pounds and that in a month. I now use this book as a reference.

A great companion to The Paleo Diet and The Paleo Answer. I have read all three cover to cover! This is not a "diet plan" or money grab scam, this is effective science in motion. Thank you Dr. Cordane, you are my savior.
