Well Fed 2: More Paleo Recipes for People Who Love to Eat by Melissa Joulwan
5.0
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.
