I know what you’re thinking. I can’t believe Juli is reviewing a book that has an adorable couple, who are obviously in love, on the cover of the book. And let me tell you, I can’t believe it either. I tend to not support anything that has to do with couples. Or love. Or couples that are in love and cook together. BUT Bill and Hayley of the paleo cookbook ‘Make it Paleo‘ are incredibly nice people who love paleo as much as I do. And eating. And they also love to share their recipes through their website, The Food Lovers Kitchen. So I dig them. AND I was pretty damn excited when I got this book. It’s gorgeous, seriously gorgeous.
The book is simple and to the point. It’s easy to read, easy to navigate, and has pictures that will make anyone want to eat paleo. The book has over 200 recipes in it, including side dishes, appetizers, and treats, which are all incredibly helpful during the holiday season.
They also include sauces and condiments, which I think are SUPER helpful for paleo lovers. Having the perfect sauce for a meatball or for a gorgeous steak, makes all the difference.
The time and effort that Bill and Hayley put into this cookbook is incredibly evident in every picture and every detail that went into the book and recipes. They have something for every kind of person out there and every single kind of taste bud. No person in your household will go to bed hungry when you have this paleo cookbook in your kitchen.
And the dessert pictures…dear lord. To die for.
I hope I’m so lucky to meet Bill and Hayley someday and learn from the greats. Well that is, if they have single friends. Third wheel arrangements are lame.
I have to agree, this book is the bomb. I’ve had it for a few months now & I love it. The recipes are great (and easy enough for me to make!) and the photos are fantabulastic!
I have a stack of your recipes printed out and covered in sauces as my cookbook already 🙂
This one will probably make a better impression on guests and it’d be impossible to have too many good paleo recipes and if you like it I’m guessing I will also.
I have the cookbook myself and am loving it!! A lot of the recipes are rather simple and goof proof which is great for me! I’m looking forward to experimenting with the desserts this weekend! Wish me luck! 😉
I have your recipes inside the plastic sleevy things in a 3 ring binder … boom! But, i’m sure your cookbook will be prettier than mine … can’t wait!
Thanks for the review! I was debating on buying it, it’s in my cart on Amazon.com. ;0)
Me too! And I have a little magnetic “chip clip” that has been re-purposed to hold up recipes on my fridge.
I am so glad you did this. I totally was just at the bookstore reading this cookbook and wondering if it was worth it. Thank you!
I feel ya on the couple stuff! LOL. I just want every Paleo cookbook! 🙂
Oh, I’ve been wondering if I should purchase this book. It looks great!
I don’t have the book yet. It is on its way. I have tried a few of their recipes, and they have been a major hit with paleo and non-paleo friends. Easy to follow and very yummy creations.
Woman. Third Wheel arrangements are NOT lame!!!!!! I am the Third, Fifth, and NINETH wheel sometimes 😉 You just get to add the spice.
So, true story. Read this review to my hubby this morning, who got me started on the paleo path. Went to a thrift store to pick up some items for my handmade solid perfume venture and BAM, this book was sitting on the shelf. Brand new, under $5. I snapped that puppy up, squealed a little, and giggled like a school girl. Made my day.
