review 1: Lots of recipes so I'm sure plenty of people will find some yum / useful, but I'm a little underwhelmed. (Maybe that will change if one of these becomes a new "staples" though!) Typical paleo-purity talk aside, I would have liked to see photos for all the recipes. (When I'm not familiar with making something, I'm kind of visual that way.) Most of the recipes also require prep work on the stove before transferring to the slow cooker. I will (probably) try Paleo Beef Casserole (uses yams & peppers), Chicken Breasts Stuffed With Sun-dried Tomatoes, and Cauliflower.
review 2: This book lost me pretty much in the introduction when it advocated "cleaning out your fridge/pantry and throwing away" all non-paleo approved food. WUT.Full of lots of pseudo-science and
... more talk about "inflammation" being diet-related (not saying it is or it isn't, but come on!) when really...a paleo diet is pretty much common sense. Lots of veggies, lean meats, whole foods--um of course that is healthy.Pretty good, tasty-sounding recipes though. Just wish the book did not veer into pseudo-nutrition science talk. less
