This is my new favorite cookbook. It has everything from the very simplest snack to more involved "project" cooking reserved for when time is not an issue. I like that there isn't much in the way of dessert. I'm not eating paleo because I need more dessert. All the instructions are easy to follow, and a lot of variations are given to keep things interesting. I like that there aren't a lot of expensive and/or difficult-to-find ingredients. It's just simple, good food that you can (for the most part) buy at any supermarket. This is the book that makes it easy to keep homemade meals coming despite a full-time job, a family, and school.

Love love lovedddd all the meatball recipes in this book! All the variations in the book really encourages home cooks to branch out and try variations on her recipes.

I so have a girl crush on Melissa Joulwan! This woman is confident, funny, smart and damn good at using spices to make food sing.
This book, like her first, "Well Fed", is full of beautiful food porn on well designed pages. The recipes are off the hook delicious and I really like her "you know how you could do that?" options for the recipes.

Much like her first book, Well Fed, this book has a bit more than just recipes going on. She offers up strategies for maintaining sanity whilst maintaining a stocked fridge of healthy, homemade food.
Also, there are 15 meatball varieties... kind of makes it worth the price of admission right there.

A brilliant follow up to Well Fed. So many yummy things to cook. Already made: kickass ketchup, magic dust, spaghetti squash fritters, collard greens, cauliflower mashed "potatoes", Lizard sauce, plantain nachos, and a few more that were equally delicious. I have not made anything from this cookbook that hasn't been AMAZING!
If I could give it more stars, I would.

I have to disclose that I have multiple food allergies and have been "relearning" to cook over the past couple of years. It is a hard journey--buying expensive ingredients and having inconsistent, sometimes terrible results. I continued to have some health issues so I decided to do the "Whole30" program. I was buying another cookbook from my wishlist and got a great deal on this one at the same time. I do not eat a Paleo diet but I would say I am "partially Paleo." (Ain't nothing wrong with meat and vegetables!)
The book is laid out well, the recipes are easy to read, and there is a place for notes on many pages. (Yes, I write in my cookbooks! They are MY cookbooks!) Lots of substitutions are recommended as well as what to pair with what.
The recipes I made so far have turned out SO AWESOME. My husband, who has no food restrictions and eats the Standard American Diet, loved the barbecued beef so much that he asked me to keep it in rotation. Bonus: it's a crockpot recipe and SO easy!
This is not a criticism of the book, just something special to me: I can't have eggs, so any recipe that had the homemade mayo (which I've heard is very good) was not on my "to-try" list during the Whole30. Now that I'm done, I'll try those with a (not-Paleo) substitute.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes to eat, even if you are just learning to cook.

This is a Paleo cookbook. It does have some great ideas in here, and the author is great at giving spice combinations or meal combinations that go well together. This is important when you are limited in your diet. Anyway, I highly recommend. The recipes are creative and original.
