I received a review copy of this beautiful cookbook from Victory Belt Publishing.
My Review:
I have been following the Paleo/Primal lifestyle for quite a few years and one of the first websites that I found, and one that still continues to be my favorite for information and recipes, is Bill Staley and Haley Mason’s Primal Palate. I am so excited to be reviewing their latest cookbook which is chock full of information on grain free cooking, delicious recipes and beautiful pictures.
When I received this cookbook I was in the mood to try something different with chicken. Make It Paleo has a fantastic recipe for the perfect roasted chicken that is topped with a mouthwatering blend of
aromatic spices. I made this as a Sunday dinner for my family and I thought I would have leftovers, but it was so good that we devoured it. I think that next time I will roast two chickens and use the leftovers to make the chicken salad recipe that is included in the book.
The next recipe I tried is the porcini crusted lamb chops. We have recently discovered lamb and have been eating it at
least once a week. This recipe makes 10 lamb chops and once again the mushroom mixture is easy and simple to prepare. The chops were absolutely delicious and even my 8 year old, extremely picky daughter, enjoyed the lamb. I will be putting this on our regular rotation of weeknight dinners.
The final recipe I tried is the cauliflower crust vegetable pizza. There are countless paleo recipes out there for making a grain free pizza crust using cauliflower and I have tried many of them. But my crusts have always come out mushy and do not look or taste like they should. I thought I would give Bill and Haley’s recipe a try since it had a few more ingredients that would hold the “dough” together. In addition to the cauliflower, the recipe calls for a cup of 
arrowroot powder as well as a cup of parmesan cheese. The pizza, I am delighted to say, was absolutely delicious. My husband, who does not follow the paleo diet, also thought it was great. I am so excited that Make It Paleo has saved pizza for this gluten/grain free cook!
If you are looking for a versatile cookbook with loads of fantastic recipes and gorgeous pictures then I highly recommend MAKE IT PALEO II. Even if you do not follow the paleo lifestyle, there are many delightful recipes that everyone can enjoy.
