Great book. I was looking for recipes that were somewhat similar to the kind of food I used to eat, with paleo ingredients. This book fit the bill with stuffed eggplant and peppers but then expanded with Thai food that I have not tried much. The index is great, easy to use. I love the little vignettes before each recipe, only a sentence or two, but tells me quickly if I want to look closely at the ingredients. Have been paleo for 2 1/2 months and have gone through numerous cookbooks trying to find ones I want permanently and this book fit the bill.Great lifestyle of eating. Not to get too personal, but I have lost weight, feel great and do not have 'crazy hungry' feelings, even if a meal is delayed or even -- get this -- SKIPPED. I have lived since childhood not realizing that 'normal' people do not get crabby, shaky, sweaty, or ill from not eating frquently. I will never go back to the carb laden lifestyle if for nothing else but that I feel like food is a choice to be enjoyed, not scarfed down I response to my sugar low. Back to this book . . .While having many recipes in it that are new to me, it uses ingredients I am now used to, ghee, coconut milk, without going overboard into more gamey meats that I am just not ready for. Simple dishes like Beef and Bok Choy, Chicken Pesto with macadamia nuts -- all dishes I cannot wait to try without a foot long ingredient list.I hope you enjoy this book -- when I borrowed this ebook from the library, I was the first one on the borrow list and it hadn't been releases yet, I had to wait for release date. We. The book showed up, I was so pleasantly surprised, I can't wait to try many more recipes.
