If you live a busy life and love Paleo eating, then I highly recommend this slow cooking cookbook. Its filled with some great recipes and ideas for inspirations to make paleo cooking fun and easy with a slow cooker.
A good book with lots of recipes. You are bound to find a few things you like. I personally prefer the less fussy recipes where you get it into the slow cooker as quickly as possible without any extra cooking (the purpose of my slow cooker is to save me time). Some recipes in the book to require a lot of effort and I would have liked more pictures for each recipe, rather than the carefully staged photography for selected recipes. Overall though a very good book with lots of recipes and information. Thank you
Can't argue with an easy slow-cooker cookbook. Great addition to any public library collection or those looking for diverse Paleo recipes.
I love it when I'm pleasantly surprised by a cookbook. And I always feel a little guilty for having doubted the author. So let me begin this post by extending my apologies to Natalie Perry because I got a little judgy before I got very far into The Big Book of Paleo Slow Cooking.
My bad.
When I first started leafing through this cookbook, I thought the recipes were going to be a wee bit on the pedestrian side. One of the opening recipes was a riff on an old pot-luck classic here in the Midwest. Ever had crock pot little smokies in a sauce made from BBQ sauce, grape jelly, and bourbon? Bourbon Dogs, my brother calls them. Yeah, that's the one. Don't get me wrong. I'm not hating on Bourbon Dogs. I just didn't expect to see a Paleo recipe for them in a cookbook. I thought it was going to set the stage for things to come. Wow. I was wrong.
I made it a practice to page through a new cookbook and make note of recipes that I'd like to try out. As you can see on my list below, I had no trouble finding recipes that I'd like to make from The Big Book of Paleo Slow Cooking. Myself, I think that Paleo makes a lot of sense for my own body. Healthy sources of proteins and fats, as well as a healthy dose of fruits and veg. We can debate about dairy and grains but, really, that's a discussion for another time. What I would like to discuss is delicious-sounding food. And the Big Book has that in droves. I'm looking forward to diving into several of the recipes. It is merely an added bonus that the recipes are all done in the crock pot and cut down the active time spent in the kitchen.
I've had a jones for fresh pineapple lately, so the Whole Caramelized Pineapple with Sweet Ginger Sauce might be first up on the list.
I really want to read this but I only can read mobi files, kindle doesn't convert them until they're published.
