I’ve been following Jessica on Instagram for awhile now and typically enjoy her recipes, so I was excited to review an advanced copy of her new cookbook. The recipes are simple and flavorful and don’t take much time to put together. As someone who eats dairy and gluten free, I appreciated the variety and liked that many of the recipes were either dishes that were new to me or familiar ones with a twist. Followers of Jessica will enjoy that these are all new recipes you can’t find on her Instagram or website. I only wish there were more photos.

Clean Paleo Comfort Food Cookbook Dec 29

You are introduced to the meaning of "paleo" and the meats, vegetables, nuts and seeds that are included in this diet along with the healthy and unhealthy fats.
There are certain labels for grass fed meat and other organic foods that are shown to you so you can identify them and purchase those products.
There is a chapter that shows you how to create your own condiments such as ketchup, mayo, bbq sauce and dressings that are paleo.
Breakfasts such as sausage-gravy casserole are made with cassava flour and ghee. Breakfast burritos are made with almond flour, peppers and eggs, there are even chocolate chip muffins made with coconut flour, almond flour, ghee and dairy-free chocolate chips!
There are even hemp crackers, zucchini tots, and sweet potato tots with special sauce. If you like cornbread, there is a recipe for it that uses coconut flour, almond flour and ghee instead of corn.
There is a gooey-looking macaroni and cheese recipe that uses almond flour, ghee and butternut squash to make the sauce and spaghetti squash and eggs to make the sauce.
As regards main dishes, there is a recipe for chicken curry waffles using almond flour, coconut milk, canned chicken, ghee and spices and pecan crusted chicken tenders that look amazing and are easy to fix!
There is a pizza lasagna made with potatoes, carrots, sausage and mushrooms , hamburger stroganoff made with hamburger, mushrooms, coconut milk and spices that looks delicious.
For dessert, there are cashew butter swirl brownies and strawberry mini-cheesecakes and even a orange cinnamon roll coffee cake made with paleo ingredients!
Enjoy!

Many of us eat keto or paleo (or other) due to health reasons; others because they want to just eat better. The author tells her story at the beginning of the book which is interesting. It's great to read personal success stories like this, especially in these troubling covid times. She also discusses what paleo actually is and why people choose this lifestyle (I am keto due to medical necessity so can relate). She then lists what foods to eat and what to avoid then delves into label reading, kitchen tools and FODMAP.

I like that some of these recipes are new to me. Though I often use crushed pork rinds as breading tonight will be the first time for pork chops (one of her recipes). The Greek Meatballs look mouthwatering. So do the Spaghetti Pie, Buffalo Chicken Soup, Banana Blondies and Banoffee Pie. Heck, all the recipes look great! Why am I typing this at lunchtime?!

Nutritional information for each recipe would be wonderful, though I know it can be variable and difficult. This book would be ideal for anyone paleo or keto, really, including beginners and experts. It does inspire. Many of the recipes would be easily adaptable to your needs/tastes, too, which I appreciate.

My sincere thank you to Quarto Publishing Group - Fair Winds and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC for this delicious book in exchange for an honest review. Much appreciated.

This is a well organized cookbook with a variety of recipes and excellent photography. The author tells of her own struggle with foods and what led her to the paleo lifestyle which is geared toward eliminating certain foods that are irritating to the digestive system. This is a cookbook for those who love to cook and a wonderful resource for those following the paleo lifestyle. It does use some not commonly found(at least where I live) ingredients like arrowroot flour, coconut aminos and many different types of coconut products in general. I was given this copy for early review on Netgalley and although not something I would use personally, I thought it was well done and the book cover is so comforting and clean looking in itself and would make an excellent addition to a cookbook library.

I really loved this cookbook! The options are are healthy and delicious! I am very new to paleo and this is also serving as guide for me as I go on to plan my meals. Thank you so much for this!

These recipes look so good! The pictures are beautiful and they look so appetizing! I can't wait to make some of these recipes. The book is very well organized and looks so pretty. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This is the perfect cookbook for the holidays and winter. I am loving the cozy goodness from these recipes, and so far I have tried two. They were both easy to make, and turned out great- my whole family enjoyed them both, and that is NO SMALL MIRACLE with two children in our house.

I am going to continue to make these recipes and will definitely recommend this to my paleo friends- they are going to love it!

This is a well put together, and well-organized cookbook on the heath benefits of paleo. She gives her own personal story and offers a great starting point for going paleo. But these are great recipes for expert paleo enthusiast as well as beginners. Great recipes, most of them with photos, and most of them super reasonable to make. I love that it offers clean recipes for the introductory paleo cook so as not to be too intimidating. I admit that I have often run fast and far away from paleo recipes if they get too complicated, and I even love to cook. A recommended book for a keeper shelf for those interested in cooking clean paleo meals.

This gave me a delicious introduction to the paleo diet! I am always trying to eat healthier but I have been following mostly low-carb dishes with protein and vegetables. But I am always looking for new and interesting recipes that will keep healthy eating fun.

I loved that this cookbook educated me on the paleo diet and even gave me a list of foods that are recommended as it allows me to customize the recipes in the book to my personal food preferences while sticking to my diet. I loved the options for sweets in this book.... something I feel I have to limit myself on but there were a variety of dessert recipes I could see myself trying.

Breakfast I find to be the hardest meal of the day to substitute healthy choices for because breakfast is a grab and go type of meal for me. But I loved both chocolate chip muffins and butter pecan granola something I could see myself making time and time again.

I liked the variety of dishes but also that they are all reminiscent of the types of foods you want to enjoy when it is cold out. I think this is a good introduction to people who want to eat healthier but don't want to quite give up all their comfort foods yet.

Also LOVED the food photos, so simple and elegant.

I don't eat only paleo but I try to eat as many clean, whole foods as possible - so I thought this book would be perfect to add new recipes into our rotation. If you are new to Paleo, I think that the beginning of the book gives a great introduction and helps explain to those who are unfamiliar and why people choose this lifestyle.

I wanted to make a few recipes before reviewing this book and I loved every single one of them! I can be a picky eater sometimes and I think these recipes were great and easy to follow, but also easily customizable.

Overall, I definitely recommend this book for all people trying to eat cleaner, not just those who are strictly paleo.
