Packed with goodness, this book is going to save you time and reward you with health. Eating real, fresh food is the foremost way to detox, heal and nurture your body. And the Paleo Diet is powerful. All of these Easy & Essential recipes are free of gluten, grains, refined sugar, refined industrial seed oils and alcohol. For the lactose intollerant, coconut oil can always be subsituted when butter or clarified butter is called for.

There’s advice for getting started, as well as snippets of information to help you understand the reasons behind certain suggestions. Essentially, I want to help you get healthy food onto the table – and into your mouth – as quickly as possible.

These recipes are the culmination of over 5 years of passionate Paleo cooking. They’re the recipes that I turn to, over and over again. Originally published on my blog, I started printing out my favorites so that I didn’t need to turn on the computer every time I wanted to make them. Thus, this book was born. Through repetition and refinement, I can guarantee that all the recipes here are, as the title claims, Easy and Essential.

My hope is that as you start cooking your way through this book, you’ll realize just how easy it is to cook and eat Paleo, every day.
