Going Paleo

by Pete Evans

This is a specially formatted fixed layout ebook that retains the look and feel of the print book.

Going Paleo is the only book you'll need to transform the way you eat - and change the way you look and feel - for good. This comprehensive and user-friendly guide shows you both why to go paleo and how to go paleo, with over 80 essential recipes to get you started. Paleo expert and bestselling US author Nora Gedgaudas explains the why of going paleo and Pete Evans explains the how, with a run-down on the foods that have to go and what to replace them with; a detailed guide to setting up your paleo kitchen; and a 10-week kickstart eating plan to help you get started.

The recipes in Going Paleo are delicious, quick and highly nourishing. Breakfasts include Kale and Sweet Potato Tortilla and Paleo Parfait with Coconut Cream, while dinner might be Crispy-skinned Salmon with Celeriac Remoulade, Cauliflower Fried Rice with Bacon or a simple Lamb Moussaka. There are chapters for snacks and drinks and heaps of veggies and salads - try Raw Rainbow Pad Thai or Sauerkraut with Dill and Juniper Berries. There is also a chapter for the basics - Make your own fermented mustard or tomato ketchup, or cook up a big pot of chicken bone broth to use in various recipes throughout the week.

Going Paleo is for everyone who is interested in good health and eating real food - food that our ancestors would have recognised, that is nutrient dense and that provides our body with the right kind of fuel to perform at its absolute best.

Definitely for the Wealthy

Lots of lovely pictures quite informative but unrealistic for day to day living. Unrealistic recipes for the average Jo Blow. Very disappointed.

A nice introduction on going Paleo in your lifestyle and food life along with some good tips and advice. Menu planners as well. Recipes aren't bad, though wanted it more for the inspiration for breakfast as it is the hardest meal to substitute for after being so bread and cereal dependent. Anything more than eggs? Not a bad book to start out with, also great for the gluten free.

While I think the end result of a strict paleo diet is probably worth the time and effort, I dispute the history and science behind its reasoning (What was a paleolithic person? Did they all eat the same?). In saying so, there are some wonderful recipes in here and the few that I've cooked have turned out well, and well-liked by my family. But like another reviewer said, these recipes are for those who can afford them - they certainly aren't budget items for starving students like myself. Which is of course my problem and nobody else's but I have to mark the book down for the sheer impracticality these recipes would have for the average man/woman on the street.

Still no doubting they look scrumptious.

I didn't read all his information on paleo eating, only flicked through (since I kind of know what paleo is). It's got some good recipes that I want to try out but overall I didn't find this one as appealing as Evans' "Family food : 130 delicious paleo recipes for every day" book.

If you are ever considering going Paleo then this is the book to buy. This book steps you through how Paleo works, and provides lots of simple healthy alternatives to all your favourite non Paleo foods.
We have tried a number of these recipes and they have all been great.
