Best Paleo Cookbooks of the Year!

best paleo cookbooks of the year

As you may have already noticed, I haven’t posted any new recipes for the last couple of weeks. This is because I have been busy cooking from everyone else’s cookbooks. I have been working hard to get all the reviews and giveaways up by the end of year. I almost did it, but I still have one more left to post!

2013 was a BIG year for Paleo! The movement has really grown, with lots of new blogs and tons of new cookbooks! I know that many of you have decided to give Paleo a try in the new year, so I have made a list of all my favorite cookbooks for you. Having a few Paleo cookbooks on hand is really helpful for staying on track and keeping your meals interesting.

What’s awesome about the variety of books available, is that there is really something for everyone based on the type of food you like and your cooking style.

 

The Paleo Slow Cooker by Arsy Vartanian

This one was written by me! All of the recipes are slow-cooker based. This book is full of bold flavors and ethnic recipes. It is perfect for anyone with a busy schedule. You can toss your ingredients in your slow-cooker in the morning and come home to a delicious, healthy and satisfying meal.

CLICK HERE to order The Paleo Slow Cooker.

 

Against All Grain by Danielle Walker

This is a beautifully photographed book, full of mouthwatering recipes. I recommend this to anyone that is starting out on the Paleo diet. The recipes are interesting, but approachable. There is such a wide variety of recipes, ranging from classics to ethnic-inspired. There is also a large dessert and baked goods section, for those of you that have a sweet tooth or really miss some of your old favorites.

CLICK HERE to order Against All Grain.

 

Beyond Bacon by Matthew McCarry and Stacy Toth

Beyond Bacon is not only packed with mouth-watering recipes, but the Paleo Parents also teach us how to find affordable pastured pork and teach us about the nutritional value of including pork in our diets. In addition, I love how the recipes are marked as easy, intermediate and difficult. This book is elegant, informative and would look stunning on your coffee table!

Paleo Lunches and Breakfasts On the Go by Diana Rodgers

For busy commuters, it is easy to get in the rut of eating hard boiled eggs every morning.  This book will help you keep both your breakfasts and lunches exciting, even with a busy work schedule. The recipes are not only delicious and healthy, they are easy to make. In addition, Diana is a nutritional therapist and offers the reader tons of practical tips on how to follow a Paleo diet, including a guide for eating out!

Mediterranean Paleo Cooking by Caitlin Weeks

If you love Mediterranean food as much as I do, then you need this book. The recipes are delectable, hardy, yet simple to make. Caitlin’s husband, Nabil co-wrote this book with her. He is a classically trained chef and you will find his chef’s tips included all through out the book. Caitlin is a Paleo oriented holistic nutritionist. You will also find a shopping list, a healthy food buying guide and nutrition tips form her all throughout the book. Read my full review here.

Well Fed 2 by Melissa Joulawan

If you are planning on doing a Whole30 in the New Year, then this book is a perfect resource. Almost all of the recipes are Whole30 approved. The first 30 pages of this book are filled with information that will teach you how to adapt a Paleo lifestyle and live it successfully. This book is packed with 200 recipes and quick meal ideas! Melissa has even included adaptations for those of you following an Autoimmune Protocol. This section is particularly helpful, as it is often hard to find Paleo recipes that are also void of nightshades and nuts. Read my full review here.

Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans by Michelle Tam and Henry Fong.

The recipes are hands down, amazing. Every Paleo foodie needs this book on their shelf. The skill level seems to range from simple to intermediate. There are some recipes that you can whip up for a weeknight meal and many others that you can impress dinner guests with. Many of the recipes are ethnic-inspired and they all burst with flavor. When reading this book, it feels like you are hanging out with Michelle and her family learning directly from them about how to eat like a real-food-foodie!

Gather, the Art of Paleo Entertaining by Bill Staley Hayley Mason

The recipes are incredible and the photography is gorgeous. I love how this book  is organized in menus, and each menu gives you tips on how to prepare for the party efficiently. My other favorite part of this book is that most of the recipes use simple, fresh ingredients.  If you are already a real-foodie, you likely have most of the ingredients on hand.CLICK HERE to order Gather.

The Paleo Chocolate Lover’s Cookbook by Kelly Brozyna

Kelly is such a talented photographer. Her book makes me want to eat the food right off the page. Equally as good as the photography are her recipes. Kelly incorporates chocolate into each recipe so thoughtfully that we cooked from it all week and didn’t feel chocolated-out! The book is packed with delicious recipes for treats, but it also has a handful of savory recipes with a chocolate twist. If you enjoy chocolate even half as much as I do, then this book is a must-have!

Paleo Sweets and Treats by Heather Connell

Paleo Sweets and Treats is my go-to cookbook for special occasions. As Indyanna gets older and has birthday parties and events at school, a repertoire full of tried and true grain-free treat recipes is essential. The recipes are really tasty, call for easy to find ingredients and are simple to make.CLICK HERE to order Paleo Sweets & Treats.

Your Personal Paleo Code by Chris Kresser

This one is not exactly a cookbook, but it does include some recipes. If you plan to change your diet and improve your health in the New Year, then this book is the perfect place to start. It will address any questions or concerns you may have about taking a Paleo approach. By the time you are finished reading Your Personal Paleo Code, you will understand exactly why the changes you are making will help you achieve optimal health and wellness. Most importantly, you will learn how to adjust the Paleo diet to make it sustainable for you. Read my full review here and enter to WIN  a signed copy!CLICK HERE to order Your Personal Paleo Code.
