review 1: This is my favorite cookbook! Every single recipe has a full page color picture and the contents have small thumbnail pictures with the page numbers and name of the dish. It really is laid out beautifully. The recipes I've made so far have all been wonderful. Best Ever Chicken Wings? SO good...we're having more tonight! Slow Chicken Curry? Yuuuummmmm! This is a cookbook, but the author does give a basic overview of Paleo and how she came to the lifestyle. If you want more in depth information you need to grab one of the many other Paleo books out there. I do have a peeve with the book (and the Paleo community in general), and it concerns their stance on milk. I agree that pasteurized milk is one of the worst things you can put in your body. Anything good that wa... mores in the milk was completely destroyed during the pasteurization process and all that's left over is an inflammatory, mucus producing, sludge of yuck! The same cannot be said of RAW milk and raw milk products. In fact, there seems to be much evidence that the opposite is true. Raw kefir has been proven to be especially beneficial. My point is, is that Sarah Fragoso makes the distinction between grain and grass fed meat, but does not do so with pasteurized and raw milk. Raw milk should always come from grass fed cows. If you believe that you don't want to drink milk because it's for baby cows, that's fine, but to lump all milk together as being bad is just untrue and I wish the Paleo community would address this. Having said that, I absolutely recommend Everyday Paleo and I do believe that following the principles of the Paleo lifestyle would benefit everyone currently eating a Standard American Diet.
review 2: A few years ago, my husband read "The Primal Blueprint" and decided to follow a Primal lifestyle. He has bought several cookbooks to help you do this, and I have sampled various dishes from all of them. I never really liked any of them until now. Primal and Paleo are very similar in nature, so he recently bought this cookbook. Finally we have recipes which I would actually choose to eat again (and have). The book is geared towards busy moms with kids, as the recipes do not take long to prepare, and she gives ways that you can get your kids involved in the cooking (which usually makes them more interested in the eating). There are menu planning charts and shopping lists to help you easily follow those plans if you don't have time to come up with your own. We just took the book to the store with us to do the shopping. The hardcore folks should be warned that there are some small "cheats" on the diet, but they are minimal and achieve the goal of keeping the food delicious and highly edible, even for people who don't like to eat healthy (such as kids). less
