The One-Pot Paleo Cookbook is a well curated collection of tips and recipes by Shelby Ruttan. Released 14th April 2020 by Callisto on their Rockridge Press imprint, it's 184 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: eggs & breakfast, soups & stews, vegetable mains, seafood & shellfish, poultry, and beef & pork.
The recipes have their ingredients listed bullet style in a sidebar. Measurements are given in US standard only. 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 included in the footer at the end of the recipes and includes macronutrients, calories, fat, protein,carbs, fibre, and cholesterol. Tips and variations on each recipe are included in a text box at the end. Special dietary comments (egg-free, dairy-free, nut-free, etc) are included in the headers.
The book also includes a short author bio, and a metric conversion chart, but lacks any index or general ingredients index.
My main quibble with the book is that the recipes are mostly not photographed. There are some photos, and they're clear and attractive, but they only represent about 5% of the recipes included in the book. It is, however, a very well written book for anyone who needs
Four stars. This would make a superlative selection for busy 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.
Nutritional facts on each recipe: Yes (there are also macronutrient breakdowns) Photos: Minimal Variety of Recipes: The definition of "one-pot" is variable in this Paleo cookbook, and includes slow cooker, skillet, sheet pan, etc. Number of recipes: 104
Bonus materials: The recipes are all labeled with "nut-free" and "egg-free", etc. Each one also has a special tip...some are ingredient tips, variation tips, etc. There is also a good breakdown of Paleo.
3.5 stars. A good variety of recipes with well-written and detailed instructions - I am looking forward to trying many of these recipes. My only real complaint is that many of these recipes used nightshades, which I cannot currently eat although I love them, so some non-nightshade alternatives would've been a nice addition (however I know this is relatively uncommon and kind of a selfish wish).
Easy super simple and fun recipes that are healthy. I like that you can change or omit a few ingredients to modify for needs or restrictions and still not lose out on the benefits.
I loved how the recipes are simply laid out. Easy to follow directions with all the ingredients at the top. I personally am eager to try the creamy chicken mushroom soup. It sounds delicious. I only wish there were more photos to entice me to make that recipe.
