We are so happy to finally be talking about this book. We’ve been working on it since March 2012, putting all of our best ideas into it, because what we want you to expect is a cookbook that you’ll actually use. A cookbook that will be worn with stains and dog ears. A cookbook that you can use to cook for everyday, and for everyone. <– That is so incredibly important to us. Because without actually being excited about the food you make and eat, and without having the people that you cook for (especially kids!) excited about what they’re eating, what’s the point?
We’re very proud to say that we’ve pioneered a new way (or more accurately–a new set of ingredients) to make baked goodies. Expect new twists on pie crust, muffins & cake, yeast risen bread, pizza crust, cookies and even ice cream (no maker needed). There isn’t one speck of almond flour in this book. We think our recipes are practically indiscernible in texture from non-paleo versions. We do use coconut flour as an ingredient in most of our baked goods, so if you’re allergic, we want to give a heads up.
We’ve included a few of our most popular recipes from our website in the book like: butternut squash lasagna (with a new method), guacamole stuffed pepper poppers, pizza bites, pad thai, pumpkin chili, and a few more; but the other 110+ recipes are brand spankin’ new.
And finally, the beginning of the book is a primer on the Primal/paleo diet. But we’ve approached it just like how we explain it when we give nutrition lectures–the non-neurotic version, where we want to focus on making eating this way a lifestyle and not a “diet”. Where we don’t want anyone to feel deprived or like they’ve failed. We focus on the science of food and not “because they didn’t eat that way back then.” Because when you think about it, there is no one Primal or paleo diet.
We want you to expect a book that has it all–including a normal way to approach Paleo & Primal as a lifestyle, not a bandwagon that you fall on and off of.

The Takeaway
We shy away from tooting our own horn. We are really, really not good at social media (nor self promotion). We’ve hardly made a peep about this book in the year it’s taken to write, edit, and print it. But in this instance…toot…toot! We are soooo proud of this book and aren’t ashamed of it. As more and more Paleo and Primal cookbooks come on the scene, we have no intentions of just blending in. We’ve put everything we have into this book to make it not only the best Primal or Paleo cookbook there is…but the best cookbook you’ve ever owned. We really hope you’ll agree.
