Purplepenguin Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I am just coming up to the end of my Whole30 and was wondering how this recipe book fits in with the general Paleo philosophy after Whole30? "Paleo Desserts: 125 Delicious Everyday Favorites, Gluten- and Grain-Free" Jane Barthelemy. Has anyone had experience with this cookbook?

nutmegananne Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm not familiar with this book, sorry. I would say that I personally try to use recipes like these on an occasional basis. They are good especially around holidays, when you have dinner guests, etc. Also, once you start re-introing foods after your Whole 30, you will have a better idea of foods that you can eat sometimes, and maybe some that you still want to avoid on a regular basis...so keep that in mind when going through the recipes. Good luck, and congrats on nearing the end of your Whole 30!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted July 12, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 12, 2013 No matter the ingredients, if it is dessert, it is not Paleo. Dessert is a corrupt concept that people drag into the Paleo world. Paleo desserts are wolves wearing the clothes of sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 hey tom, i would be interested in your opinion .... just been away for work for 9 days and managed to eat whole30 compliant with just a fridge and a microwave... phew. breakfast was mainly frittatas cooked in a coffee cup, either eggs with spinach and sundried tomato, or eggs with frozen berries mixed in.... would you still consider the egg/fruit mix a paleo breakfast? or only if the eggs are eaten separate to the fruit.... must say it kinda tasted a bit desserty... but was quick and convenient and kept me going till lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted July 12, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 12, 2013 I don't have a problem with cooking berries with your eggs in a microwave. I'm not against foods tasting sweet and pleasant, although I have not been quick to share my newest find - coconut kefir. I bought it because I wanted another source of probiotics in my diet. I had some with fresh blueberries recently and thought the plain coconut kefir tasted like whipped cream. I think sweet, tasty foods like this can be like crack to an addict, but there is nothing inherently wrong with eating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bet Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 do they sell coconut kefir or do you have to make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vian Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 They sell coconut kefir, but the kind I found has tapioca dextrose and carageenan in it. I also thought the unsweetened one tasted terrible, it was sour and watery. In my oppinion, sugar is one of the things that makes you "less healthy" It causes insulin and blood sugar spikes that throw hormones out of whack and cause hunger between meals, weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and high cholesterol, as well as systemic inflammation. It's also very addicting. "paleo" deserts can be a once in a while thing, maybe for special occasions only, but I would't buy a whole cook book dedicated to them! There's plenty of paleo blogs out there with plenty of paleo deserts. I've even found "paleo" snickerdoodle cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
