I waited until I'd cooked many recipes from this book before writing this review.
A little background...I've eaten a mostly Paleo diet for about four years now, and in my search for recipes at the beginning of my diet switch, I found and loved Juli's blog and bought her first cookbook. I'm not as familiar with George's blog but have made several of his recipes as well. I was beyond excited when this cookbook was announced and bought a copy as soon as it was released. Since receiving it, I've cooked almost exclusively from it. I have a lot of Paleo cookbooks...like, it's an addiction, a lot, but this one is my favorite.
When we got this book, I asked my four kids to go through and mark recipes they thought looked good. Maybe four recipes in the entire book were left unmarked (most of them for vegetables, go figure). So far, I've made everything from banana bread waffles (twice) to smoothies to Perfect Ribs with Blueberry Barbecue Sauce and other amazing, delicious main dishes. We haven't disliked a single recipe yet! Our favorites have been Mongolian Beef and Honey Ginger Wings. Any time you can get an entire family of six on board with any one recipe, it's a success worthy of a chorus of angels singing "Hallelujah."
I've found that even in my small town, most of the ingredients in these recipes are easy to find. The directions are easy to follow, and the photography is just gorgeous, from the styling to the lighting.
Maybe my favorite aspect of this cookbook is that one recipe can be turned into several, in some instances. The chocolate swirl banana bread can be used to make banana chip French toast or bread pudding (all delicious!). The crockpot pulled pork, amazing on its own, can also be turned into nachos, loaded baked sweet potatoes, and meatloaf.
I'm hoping very much that there will be another cookbook from this dynamic duo. My copy of The Paleo Kitchen is already dogeared and well-loved, and sure to be even more abused in the weeks and years to come. Thank you to George and Juli!

Everyone should try, even if you aren't Paleo.
This is by far my favorite Paleo cookbook. I bought this because I came across George's website when I first started Paleo in February 2014. I consider myself a collector of cookbooks, so I was excited when this came out. I bought it immediately and is my # 1 recommended cookbook. I've shared more recipes from The Paleo Kitchen then any other book. I make the 30 second mayo weekly. It is the only mayo recipe I tried that actually created mayo!!! The scrimp scampi is another fabulous recipe, and not to mention the sage meatballs with sweet potatoe noodles, are fabulous too. Those pancakes on the cover, ARE fluffy and delicious. I can't wait for another cookbook by George. ❤
