CarolinaJ85 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I went to our local B&N today to look at cookbooks because I am getting into a little bit of a rut. I know there are plenty of recipes online, but I am a sucker for a good cookbook. A lot of the paleo cookbooks are focused on paleo-ified frankenfoods (almond flour blondies??). Anyone have any suggestions for something that is (mostly) Whole 30 compliant? I have made a few things from the back of ISWF but am looking for more.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted March 15, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 15, 2013 Well Fed by Melissa Joulwan is the gold standard. And Well Fed 2 is almost ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLC1968 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I'm a sucker for a good cookbook too. Online recipes are fun to browse, but when I plan and cook meals, I prefer a cookbook. I have no idea why! As Tom suggests, Well Fed is your best bet. All but one recipe are OK on the Whole30 and she's got great ideas for mixing things up and branching out on your own. Her book inspired me to get creative with spices and I love it! I cannot wait for Well Fed 2! Other good paleo cookbooks (all of them contain deserts, just skip over that section when on a Whole30): Paleo Comfort Foods Everyday Paleo Make it Paleo Practical Paleo (I don't have this one, but I've heard good things about it) I have two others, but I've hardly cooked from either of them(Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook & Paleo Slow Cooking), so I cannot yet recommend them.

AllisonM723 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Check out NomNomPaleo.com I have made several of her recipes and they have all turned out great! The Ebook is available for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advencap Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 + 1 for Well Fed, nomnompaleo, and Practical Paleo If I had to get just one for a W30, I agree with the others, it would be Well Fed. nomnompaleo's iPad ap is terrific, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Maryann Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Another bibliophile here, but I find a lot of great recipes online. My problem was, when I wanted to make them I had trouble finding them again. I started a Pinterest account, downloaded the "Pin It" button to my task bar, set up different boards for different categories just like a cookbook, and now when I find something I want to save I just click "Pin It" and save it to the appropriate category. This has made online recipes as easy to use a a cookbook. In fact, it's becoming my personal e-cookbook. There is a thread somewhere on these forums that Derval started for people to share their pinterest links. Take a look at mine: www.pinterest.com/paleomaryann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennrider Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I like Practical Paleo. I have Well Fed as an ebook, but I have not really looked at it. There's something about cookbooks. I got a notebook when I realized the number of recipes I was getting online. I just print and file them. I like to have recipes in print because I make notes about all kinds of things on them. I started with a 1 inch notebook. I now have a filled 2 inch notebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
