Carpender: Simply Paleo - 400 Recipes
The paleo diet has become increasingly popular in recent years. More and more people are following its principles to transition to a sustainable and healthier lifestyle. This book introduces many new aspects even to those familiar with 'paleo' eating, but the author's direct style and thoroughness ensure that even those unfamiliar will be enticed by this type of diet. We highly recommend this book to those looking for some new ideas to add color and interest to their diets, even if they are not necessarily looking to fully switch to paleo. With 400 recipes, everyone will find something to their liking.
Dana Carpender admits that she went from a low-carb lifestyle to the paleo diet and realized that the two diets have a lot in common. She extensively studied paleo literature to provide her readers with a scientifically sound and reliable cookbook. From the simplest spice and ingredient preparations, she guides us through the paleo diet, showing how many diverse and delicious meals we can create with a little attention.
From Dana Carpender's cookbook, we learn why it is important to include "good fats" in our diet, how we can replace "forbidden" ingredients (e.g. dairy, sugars) with certain ingredients. There are numerous basic recipes to learn how to always have authentic, high-quality, paleo mayonnaise, pizza sauce, coconut milk at home. But we can also read many recipes from simple snacks, breakfasts to soups, salads, side dishes to more complex meat and fish dishes, and of course, classic desserts such as brownie in a paleo version or various fruity cup creams.
