This cookbook isn't just a book of recipes. It is a culinary journey.
Written by Lauren Lobley, a former sugar addict and pastry chef turned
healthy chef and health coach, The Accidental Paleo takes a
carnivore's approach to plant based eating. By being mindful of
textures, layers of flavor, colors and nutrition in every concoction,
the recipes in this book are designed to satisfy every palate, whether
they prefer their meals with or without meat. The desserts are refined
sugar free (and in most cases, naturally sweetened, like the almond
butter banana cheesecake), the appetizers trick the palate with their
clever use of cashews and coconut milk to feign a creamy texture (like
the warm spinach and artichoke dip - to die for), and the main meals
carefully build upon an array of vegetables and sauces to leave everyone
full and satiated (like the butternut squash lasagna).
The Accidental Paleo is culinary fun for the whole family. A feast for
the eyes and the taste buds, get ready to fall in love with plant-based
eating like you never imagined you would.
Inside The Accidental Paleo Cookbook:
- 85 easy-to-follow, meat-free, grain-free, hassle-free vegetarian
paleo recipes with a carnivore's approach to plant based eating
- Nutrient-dense, colorful dishes that leave you feeling full (even
without the meat)
- Recipes that the whole family will enjoy - even the littlest of the
bunch (Lauren's 2 year old daughter devours the lentil dal and the
veggie curry...and basically everything else)
- Creative use of nuts and other food pantry staples you never knew
could be used to pack in so much flavor and texture (like the cashews in
the warm spinach artichoke dip and the sundried tomatoes in the collard
green wraps)
- Guilt-free desserts that will have you wondering if they are truly
paleo and sugar-free, and that moms can feel good about giving to their
little ones because there is no refined sugar (like the chocolate banana
pudding or the almond butter banana cashew cheesecake)
- Many make-ahead meals that make it easy for the working person or
busy parent to be able to heat up dinner in a pinch on a school night
(like the chickpea soup with pesto or the veggie chili)
