I’m not strictly Paleo; in fact, I’m not strictly anything, but I do try to eat clean as often as possible, and I notice, overall, when I eat primarily Paleo at least during the week, I feel better. I have more energy, I stay full longer and don’t need to snack or go hungry.

It’s a practical approach, clean eating in one-pot, but seriously, these recipes look delicious! I earmarked several breakfast recipes to try very soon, and among the entrees is a Paleo version of Arroz Con Pollo, my favorite dish as my local Mexican restaurants. I like that these recipes seem pretty simple, can be prepped before hand (I’m definitely a Sunday meal prep kind of gal), and contain a variety of fresh ingredients that just look healthy (and tasty).

There’s some helpful front matter about the Paleo diet, the easy parts and the more challenging or hard to understand parts, as well as a pantry guide and things to keep on hand. Plus, Shoemaker talks about meal prep (my language) and offers helpful tips for getting started.

I can’t wait to try these recipes, and if you’re looking to add to your meal prep routine, check this one out. It’s available now at your favorite local bookstore or library.

The author gives details about why she started the book and what types of foods that are included and restricted in the book. Meat, healthy sweeteners such as honey and coconut oil, vegetables and flours such as casher, coconut and non-white flours are used, while legumes, rice and oats, along with processed foods are not.
Preparing foods ahead of time and preparing food for a week are encouraged as doing it saves time.
The snack recipes, such as broccoli florets with ranch dressing and dark chocolate are not recipes but a list of items you can eat in a hurry.
There are breakfast dishes such as steak and eggs, that are easily prepared in a baking pan and only take 30 minutes to prepare! The sheet pan breakfast fries use sweet potatoes, turkey bacon, eggs and sauce to create a fast and elegant breakfast!
The easy casher chicken recipe uses chicken, broccoli and cashews with a tangy sauce to create a memorable meal!
Lemon garlic with mahi - mahi is easy, fast and it only takes 30 minutes to cook!
The sheet pan mini meatloaves and sweet potatoes uses almond flour, eggs, ketchup and spices to create a tangy, easy to cook meal that will be fun for the kids to eat.
Enjoy these keto friendly, easy to prepare meals!

A series of beginners tips for paleo eating start off this cookbook including a section with snack suggestions (featuring some unique combos and paleo staples). The bulk of the recipes are simple yet inspired and packed with flavor yet accessible enough to make it to the family dinner table. The variety of meats as well as the breakfast and dessert sections round out the recipes.

Clean Paleo One-Pot Meals is an approachable cookbook filled with healthy, easy to make recipes. There are clear instructions, vibrant photos, and tutorials for the basics. Recipes can be made on sheet pans, skillets, and pots, and the cuisine represented is diverse, including dairy and egg allergen-free, vegetarian/vegan, and keto options. It would be a good book for someone who is learning how to cook or for someone mastering the basics of clean eating.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Almost immediately, you notice that visually the book is filled with stunning pictures with great lighting. The layout is clear and clean, it uses images to break up pages to avoid walls of text, in addition to the excellent text spacing of the book. This varies when you proceed to recipes. Pages remain clearly presented, sadly, there are fewer of the great pictures you see earlier.

The book starts with essential tips and meal prep ideas. It's all well-considered and thoughtful advice that helps anyone, it's worth skimming over for more experienced cooks as well.

Useful icons accompany each recipe. An icon system is explained, it's pretty straightforwards, e.g. crossed out the egg for egg-free, crossed out milk carton for dairy-free etc. It does make it easy to see if a recipe fits your needs. Additionally, there are icons for vegetarian/vegan/keto. I found this useful as I'm mainly doing keto these days and was reassured recipes would not all be high carb and need modifying.

Once the early sections of the book have passed, we arrive at the core of the book. The recipe sections included areas such as covered, breakfast, sheet-pan and baking, skillet, stovetop soups and deserts.

Basic cooking ability is needed, there's nothing hard or complicated. Ingredients are mostly things you're likely either to have in the cupboard or already buy for the fridge. A few unusual ingredients to me, like "arrowroot powder" pop up however they're in the minority. There is a bit of the "wellness" view of cooking involved, e.g. butternut squash noodles etc. however these days that's relatively common.

Here's my tip to you all, if a meal wants you to spend time changing the shape of a vegetable, don't. Mostly you're expected to turn veg into noodles. Instead, I use shirataki noodles and cook the vegetable normally. You'll save time spiralising vegetables plus it's cheaper than pre-cut veg.

The two dozen meals I cooked used ingredients already in the kitchen, I actually found the meals a bit basic and tended to add more herbs/spices.

Personally, I liked the book. The meals are easy to make, mostly using common ingredients. Several years ago, when I started making low carb and paleo meals, I would have happily bought this and gained a great deal of value from the book. The icon labelling for meals alongside the clean layout of the book with vivid, well-lit images make this a cookbook you'd happily leave in the kitchen to use.

Tons of great-looking recipes that are quick to make and use a minimum amount of equipment - right up my alley. My only complaint is that so many of them include nightshades (tomatoes, peppers) which I cannot eat right now :( Still, I plan to try a bunch of these recipes ASAP.

I love the introduction from Christina Shoemaker where she explains that she loves cookies and not kale! This cookbook is packed with quick, family friendly, flavor-packed meal ideas. Very handy icons on each page indicating if the recipes are dairy-free, egg-free, vegetarian, vegan and/or keto. I wish there was a photo for every recipe but other than that, this is a great go-to for healthy weeknight meals.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advance e-copy of this cookbook in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed reading through this and looking at all the different recipes. I am looking forward to trying some of them. This is great for all the busy days, they are quick and easy recipes to make.

A great resource for yummy, clean, and quick meals with minimal clean up and very few hard-to-find ingredients. I wish some of the more complicated techniques had photos attached to the prep (like the pizza chicken). Thank you to Christina Shoemaker, Fair Lake Press, and Net Galley for the advance digital reader. #cleanpaleoonepotmeals #netgalley

This cookbook had lots of really good recipes and provided a nice legend on each recipe as to whether it was dairy free or paleo. I liked how easy the recipes seemed and can't wait to try a few.
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review!

Love it! Clean based paleo eating recipe cookbook with some beautiful looking pictures. From steak flank to salmon, the recipe book has some really great dinners and soups. The thought behind this book is that paleo is a beautiful way of eating and is encouraged and healthy for you.

What did I like? I basically skipped the breakfast part since who has time to make a casserole type breakfast even ahead of time. I would have preferred a more basic breakfast fare but the meal recipes and soups more than make up for the breakfast. Steak, seafood, and some beautiful chicken recipes with zoodles or cauliflower rice grab my attention throughout the main fare recipe section. I was a bit daunted by the ingredient list on most of the recipes since they add a ton of spices, but I’m sure you can add what you want.

Would I recommend or buy? Yes, I can’t wait to try some of these zoodle recipe combinations. I loved the pictures but I wished for more, at least one per recipe but it rarely happens. This is a beautiful cookbook though and I would love a print copy.

I received a copy to read and voluntarily left an opinion.

Clean Paleo One-Pot Meals is a cookbook aimed at cutting down cooking and cleaning up time, while remaining as healthy and clean as possible. I liked the idea and some of the recipes but as it is really aimed at the US market not everything was appealing and not all of the ingredients are easily accessible. The pictures are mouth watering and an essential addition, and I liked the way the author included a lot of additional information. I think the book will be very popular with many readers and I will definitely give a few of the recipes a try.

I received an ARC of this book thanks to NetGalley and publisher Fair Winds Press in exchange for an honest review.

This recipe book was a little fancier than I was expecting but there are some good solid meal ideas here. I don't necessarily think it's very accessible but that's fair, it isn't trying to be. One thing I really would have liked is some reheating/storage guidance as the recipes are all more than one portion but give no information about how to store it beyond a generic catch-all bit at the start. This seems a little odd to me given that it does emphasis freezing food at the start. Having said that, this is a lovely collection of recipes which all seem tasty and pretty healthy as well. The recipes are clear and easy to follow. My only other criticism is some of the fancier terms are not defined, but again that is a case of me misjudging the audience for this book. If you like more upmarket recipe books with relatively cost-efficient meals, then this is a perfect option.

Appeal of recipes: 4/5
Cost of recipes: 4/5
Recipe presentation: 3.5/5

This cookbook is wonderful. The recipes are interesting and creative. There's a wide variety of different flavors represented in the recipes. And the pictures are beautiful. There are also some great tips at the beginning of the cookbook for meal planning and meal prep.

This is a fine paleo cookbook but it didn't do a lot for me. While our family is not paleo, we do eat gluten-free and from scratch, with an emphasis on whole foods. At the moment, my husband and I are doing keto and I'm also cooking for three kids still at home who are not, so quick is always helpful and I had hoped a lot of the recipes would work for all of us. Unfortunately, I found most of the recipes kind of one note and repetitive -- sliced chicken or beef with either asparagus, broccoli or green beans, on top of cauliflower rice.

No nutritional information is provided, which is a major pet peeve of mine. Recipes are labeled keto, dairy free, vegan, etc. but people who are following a keto diet often track macros. I also am trying to really focus on fiber for myself and my husband, and prefer cookbooks that include that kind of information. While there are vegan and vegetarian recipes, there are very few.

Not many photos are included, for about 1 in 6 recipes. Measurements are given in multiple units to help with planning (cups, grams, ounces, etc.). Many of the recipes promise they're spicy, which I like but that could be hard for families cooking for children or family members who don't like heat. The recipes do seem pretty easy, but I would be really bored eating regularly from this cookbook, to be honest, and so many of them use non-keto ingredients like honey and sweet potatoes that my options would be pretty limited. I'm sure it will be a very nice fit for other families, though.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

I really like this cook book. I've set aside so many recipes and I really love one-pot meals. These recipes seem easy and healthy which is what I've been searching for. Can't wait to try these.

As a gluten-free and dairy-free eater, it can be hard to find simple, throw together meals. I loved the concept of one pot paleo cooking and especially enjoyed how many sheet pan dinners this book features. The pictures throughout are helpful and beautiful.
We tried the almond-crusted chicken dinner and both my partner and I were impressed by how quickly it came together and all the flavor. I also liked the key that indicates which allergens are present in each recipe. I’m looking forward to trying more from this book! Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC.

This book is awesome!
so informative and broken down I can’t wait to go and try all the yumminess.
I think this must be an American cook book as I have no idea what half the ingredients are so will have to do some research into things.
But they look fab and easy to make hopefully they come out just as yummy in London England!
I’ve learnt new foods and new ways to try same food exciting!
Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds for the ARC copy in return for an honest review.

I absolutely love this cookery book. Really well planned out recipes with beautiful large pictures to inspire you.

Christina is very fun and I enjoy reading about ideas for the planning of weekly meals.

This is a book I will definitely be using as it's so easy and nutritious.

Thank you Netgalley and Publishers for the Arc.

A competent cook book, but one that proved the Paleo diet – all cauliflower rice, and not half as much as is needed of what I like – is not for me. My partner insists she's too old for spice, so a lot of these recipes would need to be toned down and worked on if they were to be used in this household. Layout-wise, we get full-page recipes, with only roughly one in six getting a picture. A lot of the breakfasts are lavish things that certainly aren't breakfasts as I think of them, or certainly would qualify for a new take on the "all day breakfast". Mains are fine and balanced, if you like the ingredients used (and can ignore how much nice yumminess is left out). A good portion of soups and stews, and some puddings and baked things, finish it all off. The instructions seem fine, and for people intending to go the Paleo route, I can see this is going to be very useful. I do think if you're going to make the photographic pages so scarce, they needn't be full-sized portraits – images of more dishes would have helped me see what was being intended. But while I wouldn't rush to mimic a lot of the contents myself, I can see the intended reader would gain much here, so I'll be generous with four stars.
