Paleo Diet Recipes
Welcome to the Paleo diet recipes section. You’ll find here paleo recipes to help you prepare the best food for your health and your taste buds. In addition to that, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the cooking tips and the general paleo diet food articles available here.
For someone just starting or entertaining the possibility, the Paleo diet can seem restrictive and a compromise in the taste and food enjoyment department. Let me reassure you that once you become properly introduced to the diet and the food, there is no reason not to enjoy food that will make you salivate.
A great thing is that the Paleo diet recipes you prepare can be as simple or as sophisticated as you want.
You can simply decide to throw a piece of meat in the oven, pan or crock-pot and then serve it with a side of your favorite roasted or steamed vegetables and a big dollop of ghee, lard or coconut oil.
On the opposite side, if you want to impress guests or create something very special for your loved ones, there are endless possibilities for soups, salads, stews, omelets, curries, sauces, roasts, … You can use herbs and spices like basil, dill, garlic and ginger to create delicious marinades and vinaigrettes.
Sometimes you simply need a quick fix, snack or lunch idea when you’re on the go and some of the paleo recipes will help you with the preparation of these so you never run out of paleo food ideas and risk indulging in bad choices.
Some of the cooking techniques that our mother and grand-mothers used everyday are now lost and might seem difficult to master. Once you become used to them though, they rapidly become part or your routine and homemade food becomes enjoyment instead of a chore. Making homemade stock, mayonnaise, pâtés, salsa, clarifying butter, lacto-fermenting vegetables and cooking with organs or whole fishes are some examples.
Some of the food I eat now that I follow a paleo diet have never crossed my mind before and offer some flavors that most people eating a standard American diet will enjoy only very rarely. Some examples are bone marrow, squid, venison, liver pâté, rabbit, tongue, heart, sauerkraut and coconut.
I’ll also feature Paleo diet recipes that will be recreation and adaptation of some of the comfort food staples like spaghetti, Shepperd’s pie or pizza because there’s not reason not to enjoy them when prepared with Paleo ingredients.
I hope you’ll enjoy making and eating the food presented here and invite you to send me your best paleo recipe so it can be featured on the site.
