Real Paleo Fast & Easy: More Than 175 Recipes Ready in 30 Minutes or Less
The simple, satisfying and delicious way to eat paleo every day with more than 150 recipes ready in 30 minutes or less—from the author of The Paleo Diet.
Internationally regarded paleo expert and bestselling author Loren Cordain, Ph.D., understands that we live busy lives, but he also knows this is no reason to sacrifice good health; a great dinner that follows the Paleo Diet is only 30 minutes away with this innovative cookbook. The book has a range of speedy meals, from flash-roasted fish to microwave peach chutney for pork chops. There are soups, skillet meals, fresh dinner salads, and more. The 170 recipes and 70 color photos make dinner easy and appealing. The recipes use Paleo convenience foods, such as salt-free canned tomatoes and frozen vegetables, and draw on the techniques that Dr. Cordain and his family developed for their own busy lives. Also included is the Paleo Pantry, with recipes for Paleo condiments and spice blends to enliven meals throughout the week.
Praise for The Paleo Diet
“Finally, someone has figured out the best diet for people—a modern version of the diet the human race grew up eating.”—Jack Challem, bestselling author of The Inflammation Syndrome
“ The Paleo Diet helps you lose fat, improve your health, and feel great. Why? Because the Paleo Diet works with your genetics to help you realize your natural birthright of vibrant health and wellness.”—Robb Wolf, New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo SolutionReviews (70)
Non-Cook Prepares 5 Dinners a Week Now Thanks to Real Paleo
I am a recent Paleo convert and I chose this book because of the title. Other Paleo cookbooks looked good, but these recipes looked tasty and easy to make. I also felt that trying the cookbook by the leader in Paleo was probably a good idea. I have tried several "Fast and Easy Recipe" cookbooks, and have been disappointed that the recipes were neither fast, easy nor tasty. I can say that Cordain's Real Paleo cookbook is filled with fast, easy and tasty recipes. I am not a chef, so I am thrilled to put a healthy dinner on the table in an hour or less. In time, I am sure I will be able to prepare these meals in 30 minutes. I must admit that I prior to this purchase, I have had little success preparing daily meals for my family: I have felt accomplished if I prepared 2 of 5 weekday meals. I have used Cordain's cookbook for 3 weeks now. After the first week, I wanted to write a review, but thought I had better give it more time before shouting from the mountain tops. This is a fabulous book. I have prepared 15 different recipes from this book, and every meal has been well received from all my children and my husband. I am now able to consistently prepare 5 meals a week for my family. I cannot recommend this book enough. The only possible downside is that he does not use salt. I have been true to the recipes except twice when I added salt to the scallops and one time to a flank steak. Since my problem prior to beginning Paleo was sugar, these saltless recipes are not a problem for me; I appreciate the flavors of the recipes. My kids and husband sometimes add Spike. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.
Neither fast nor easy
I have Mr. Cordain's "The Paleo Diet" book which has a marvelous recipe for Tuna Salad. That's why I bought this book. What a huge disappointment. This is a French cookbook with hard-to-find ingredients and lengthy recipes with 16+ ingredients. :0 Here are just a few of the bizarre items required for the recipes: -ras el hanout -elderberries -coconut wraps -herbes de provence -hemp seed hearts -champagne -arctic char -aleppo peppers -striped bass -red snapper -thai red curry powder -canned salmon -pomegranate seeds -walnut oil -avocado oil -port wine -lemongrass -thai basil -ground sumac -collard greens -ancho chile -sole Many of the recipes require specific types of wine. There are tons of recipes that require kale, sweet potatoes, or squash, none of which anyone in my family will eat. From this entire book there were fewer than a dozen usable recipes. I returned it.
BY FAR the best Paleo Cookbook I found!
I have purchased and returned a few other "Paleo" cookbooks due to the complete time consuming nature of the ingredients and recipes. The time it would take to find the ingredients, then make all of the condiments, broths, etc and actually make the recipes is just not feasible for most. This is BY FAR is the best Paleo cookbook I have found for those of us living in the real world. It breaks down in categories what to eat and what not to eat, fruits by sugar content, and even has excellent tips that can be followed based on your personal needs. The fast and easy section is a hit for me, and the recipes are not too complex but yet don't seem to lack in flavor. I am so happy about this purchase. Advice- The recipes in this book are by far much easier than most, but if you come across a condiment and don't have the ingredients or time for homemade (ketchup, mayo etc) look to your grocery store. There are many Paleo friendly options to keep in your fridge!
Not Fast Nor Easy
Bought this for my millennial son who never liked to cook and was considering overpaying for a meal delivery service. Turns out, most of these recipes require too many ingredients (including many spices and other ingredients even we don't keep in our house, so I wouldn't expect a 20-something to have these on hand). Also, "fast" is apparently relative, with so many of these taking more than 30 minutes of hands-on cooking. Fast, by my definition, would be less than 10 minutes of attending to/preparing the dish. I do not recommend this if you are truly looking for fast and easy.
This is my favorite paleo cookbook to date
This is my favorite paleo cookbook to date. Love the quick meals in 30 minutes or less. Easy recipes to make and follow. He does not salt anything but in most cases, it's fine without it. I do find myself adding a tad of salt to some but overall, this is filled with many tasty easy to make recipes. Have made over 30 recipes in the short time I've had it and the majority are very good.
... are truly Paleo they are not as fast and easy as I would have liked
Although the recipes are truly Paleo they are not as fast and easy as I would have liked. It seems most recipes call for added recipes (sauces, spice mixures, dressings) to make the dishes which can be time consuming. I would have liked recipes to be a bit simpler as I am new to this type of diet.
Very easy to read and follow
Very easy to read and follow. It feels hard to do Paleo at first and this is very creative approach to cooking and eating.
Great
I like this book. Nice pictures and good , easy recipes with normal ingredients. Lots of good info in the front too since I'm new to paleo. There are several recipes titled as Spicy. We don't like spicy food so I substitute or leave out the spicy ingredients and the dishes turn out to our liking.
This book gives us a lot of great ideas to help keep on track
We tried several dishes and everything seems well thought out and organized. Food we've made is tasty, and we are trying hard to stick to a more Paleo diet. This book gives us a lot of great ideas to help keep on track.
Great Recipes
Started reading this book as soon as I received it and the whole Paleo way of eating, really makes sense. I'm enjoying the pictures to go along with several of the recipes and so many of the recipes sound wonderful! I'm sure I'll buy more books but always make sure they're done by Loren Cordain, PH.D. Can't wait to get started!
