If you follow a paleo lifestyle this is a well written cookbook with beautiful photos. this book goes into great detail on the recipe guidelines and acceptable foods on this diet plan. I do not personally follow Paleo but I love cookbooks and always enjoy reviewing recipes for taste and health benefits.

The author writes a very personal story as someone who has struggled with eating disorders and multiple health issues. She also bravely and openly discusses her self esteem issues stemming from her weight and anxiety. I think it is a brave thing and I applaud her honesty.

I also found many recipes I will eat so despite not following Paleo this book has tasty recipes. I especially like the sauces and pesto recipes. the twice baked taco sweet potatoes are awesome!

The recipes in this cookbook should please most paleo eaters. I referred often to her guidelines and all recipes follow her listed restrictions. However, as stated earlier I am not a Paleo dieter so this statement is based solely on the information provided in this book so it in no way can constitute real personal knowledge of this diet lifestyle.
The color photos are provided of about 1/3 of the recipes and all are tastefully done and make the food prepared look delicious. No nutritional information is provided, which I personally dislike. As a dieter I do track my nutritional intake so I do feel the addition of that information would highly improve the overall success of this cookbook.

One plus about the book is that she defines recipes as either traditional paleo, squeaky clean paleo, and/or keto paleo, since the diet is different for different people. I try to keto so I found that helpful.

Some recipes require an air fryer, an Instant Pot and an immersion blender. She even has a milk frothier listed as an essential kitchen tools so be aware if you don't have those handy you may need to adapt the recipes to a different cooking method. This book also offers tips on how to plan meals into your weekly budget and which meals can be made ahead.

I received this book from NetGalley and Quarto Publishing - Fair Winds Press for an honest review.

I love Ashley's recipes, and am so glad that there is now a collection in book form! These recipes are approachable and delicious. Anyone from a beginner to a master chef, can find something to enjoy. They may be healthy recipes, but they absolutely do not lack in flavor. This is one of those cookbooks you will most definitely want to share with your friends!

Well presented and full of simple, easy to follow recipes. All recipes are ideal for family dinners and lunches and wwithin the Paleo diet. Perfect for anyone starting on a Paleo diet

The author shares a bit of her personal story and how the diet helped her find a healthy relationship with food. She also breaks down the difference between paleo, keto and clean paleo. I loved the pictures. They make me want all of the dishes!

I love browsing healthy cookbooks and this one was beautiful! The recipes are relatively simple and use easy-to-find ingredients. The ingredients used are clean and healthy. There are a variety of recipes in this book - something for everyone, include kid-friendly recipes. Anyone looking to eat healthier and feel better will love this book, even if not following a paleo diet.

Thank you, Fair Winds Press and NetGalley, for a digital ARC!

Amazing recipes! This cookbook is wonderful, and the recipes have all been delicious. Most are very simple, with ingredients I have in my pantry already. It also includes tips on meal prep, cooking for the entire family, and healthy lifestyle tips. I’m obsessed! I love it!

Sadly, I was unable to download this book in time before it was archived and this I was not able to either read or review it. My apologies.

Clean Paleo Family Cookbook is a tutorial and recipe collection for paleo and keto compliant food. Released 21st April 2020 by Quarto on their Fair Winds Press imprint, it's 192 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately.

The introduction includes a very good overview over the paleo diet, what it includes (and doesn't) and some theory behind the food selections. There's also an introduction to basic cooking equipment and ingredients.

The recipes are grouped by category: sauces & appetizers, breakfasts, salads, sides, mains, electric pressure cooker (Instant Pot) and slow cooker recipes, kid-approved recipes, sweet treats & drinks.

The recipes have their ingredients listed bullet style in a sidebar. Measurements are given in US standard with metric measures in parentheses (yay!). Special tools and ingredients are also listed, along with yields and cooking directions. Most of the ingredients are easily sourced at any moderately well stocked grocery store. Nutritional information is not included. Tips and variations on each recipe are included in a text box at the end. Special dietary comments (squeaky clean paleo, keto paleo, traditional paleo, etc) are included in the headers.

The book also includes a short heartfelt and interesting author bio, and a general ingredients index.

The recipes are attractively and very well photographed. I really liked being able to see finished dishes and serving suggestions. It is also a very well written book for anyone who needs a good introduction to paleo eating and lifestyle. I liked that the author seems very reasonable and that the book lacks that tinge of fanaticism present in a lot of keto/paleo lifestyle and cooking books. (Admit it, you know what I'm talking about).

Four and a half stars. This would make a superlative selection for busy family cooks wanting a simplified way to test the paleo diet and make a real effort to give it a genuine try in an accessible and logical manner.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

As soon as I saw this book I new I had to read it. As someone who has recently embraced the Paleo lifestyle due to medical reasons I was looking for a way to get my whole family on board. I enjoyed the recipes in this book especially the kid approved section. I have an autistic son and even he enjoyed a few of them!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the advanced reader copy. This is my honest review.

I must confess, I'm automatically a little skeptical of the words "clean" and "paleo" when it comes to cookbooks. Especially when accompanied by gorgeous shots of white, airy kitchens filled with smiling, model-beautiful families cooking together. But the recipes in this cookbook look absolutely delicious, from shrimp fried rice to three versions of chicken marinade, not to mention a whole chapter of kid-friendly meals like pancake and sausage sliders and chicken strips. Even non-paleo, non-clean-eating cooks will find great-looking dishes to try.
