Book Review – Homegrown Paleo Cookbook

August 30, 2020 by Karen Filed Under: Book / Book Reviews Leave a Comment

Book Review – Homegrown Paleo Cookbook

The Homegrown Paleo Cookbook by Diana Rodgers, NTP
4 out of 5 stars

I started reading this book and finished it back in May but I just haven’t had the headspace to do in-depth reviews on books. It’s all I can do to even read a book right now during COVID. The next few book reviews aren’t going to be much but I’m at least documenting that I read it.

First of all, this is a beautiful book. . . . . . from the binding, the paper used, food photography, fonts, and graphic design. . . . . I just loved holding it in my hand and reading it.

But, it’s not just a cookbook but also a guide to growing food and the paleo lifestyle.  As the subtitle states it is a “complete guide to growing your own healthy food” and “over 100 delicious, gluten-free, farm-to-table recipes.”

At the bottom of each recipe, there is a small chart that lets you know whether the recipe is Whole30, Nut-free, Egg-free, or AIP which I really appreciate. What was missing from it for me is that I would have liked to be able to search all the Whole30 recipes, or all the nut-free recipes, etc. There is no way to do that other than look at the chart at the bottom of each recipe.

 
There is also an extensive resources list, a guide to making soap and candles, having a healthy lifestyle, paying it forward, understanding food production, raising farm animals, foraging, and getting away from it all.  
 
I learned a lot about gardening that I can pass on to my husband as he is gardening during COVID. I won’t really use the farming information but the recipes look amazing using real food. It was helpful to learn about how a farm works and how sustainable food gets to my plate.

FROM BOOKSHOP:
Seasonal, gluten-free, farm-to-table eating never tasted so good. On her farm in Massachusetts, nutritionist Diana Rodgers has found a way back to a healthy, active lifestyle with a focus on nutritious and delicious eating, raising animals, growing vegetables, and balancing work and play.

Anyone can have the same healthy, balanced lifestyle and a closer connection to their food–whether you live in a house in the suburbs, a farmhouse in the countryside, or an apartment in the city. The Homegrown Paleo Cookbook shows you how.

With over 100 seasonal Paleo recipes, guides to growing your own food and raising animals, and inspiring how-tos for crafts and entertaining, The Homegrown Paleo Cookbook is a guide not just for better eating, but for better living–and a better world.
