New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Kitchen and creator of the popular website PaleOMG, Juli is a well-known Paleo cook who creates meals that are sure to please the whole family. And this cookbook is her best one yet! Absolutely no one will complain when you serve them delicious dishes like Breakfast Tacos, Buffalo Chicken Casserole, Slow Cooker Short Rib Tostadas, Pistachio Rosemary Lamb Chops, and Layered Flourless Chocolate Cake.

For most people, the Paleo or “caveman” diet seems unrealistic. “You expect me not to eat cake anymore?” was Juli’s first reaction. (There may have been a few curse words thrown in there, too.) For Juli, that just wasn’t going to work. We all understand that cavemen didn’t eat cake back in the day, but we’re here in the future, and we can create Paleo-friendly cakes. So Juli ventured out to put a new spin on eating like a caveman. After two weeks of eating Paleo, she knew she was in it for the long haul. She has been eating Paleo for five years now, and she consistently gives her readers Paleo recipes that bring back childhood meal memories or just bring back the foods they love the most.

There’s no need to be a true, pretentious caveman if you don’t have to be! We see you using Instagram over there, you modern caveman, you. Paleo is about so much more than just food. To Juli, Paleo is what gave her the freedom to feel healthy, energetic, and enthusiastic about life. And that’s exactly what she is trying to bring to you in this cookbook. She hopes not only to help you revamp your kitchen and excite your taste buds, but also to help you feel confident with the new lifestyle you’ve taken on.

Title: Buy! This! Cookbook! ASAP!
Review: Buy it. I can't recommend this book (or her first book, OMG, That's Paleo?) enough. First and foremost, I'm totally anti-clutter so a cookbook doesn't make it onto my bookshelf unless I've vetted it through the library first (thanks Prospector!). That said, this was the ONLY cookbook I didn't vett prior to buying. In fact, Juli's paleo cooking prowess wooed me into pre-ordering via amazon. Booyah! Zero regrets. Just sayin'.Lemme preface this review with this "warning:" If you're gonna get your undies in a bundle over an occasional expletive, then you may wanna stop right here and look for another cookbook. Like The Joy of Cooking. It's pretty straight and narrow and I can't imagine it offending anyone. But I may drop a swear word/swear word censored with asterisks and you'll also see them in Juli's cookbook.We all good? K. Moving on then.Not gonna lie. The first recipe I tried was the basil, mint, and cuke g&t (pg 267). In my defense, although I received the book on August 18, I didn't have time to even look at the book until August 29th, which fell on a Saturday, so yeahhhh, I wanted a cocktail. And it was phenom. PHENOM.My husband and I ADORED the chicken carbonara casserole (pg. 94). The greatest thing is that there's no coconut milk in it!!!!!! I'm not anti-coconut milk by any means, but SO many paleo sauces use this as the base and frankly, I get sick of it. Furthermore, the buffalo chicken casserole (pg. 80) is also outta this world. If you're questioning whether to try a paleo cookbook and/or this cookbook in particular, have you taken a gander at The Perfect Pizza (pg. 136)? Get! Outta! Town! I'll readily admit, it's no substitute for LaPorte pizza, but it's the best paleo pizza we've eaten. Dead. Serious. I could keep listing all of the recipes we've tried and loved, but to keep this review relatively brief, I won't. (WelloktwistmyarmIllgiveyouafewmore. Dairy free pesto mayo, hoisin sauce, guasacada anyone? Yep. I'm totes a condiment girl. Gimme some of anything and I'll dip the s**t outta that.)Moving on to the layout. Quite frankly, if a paleo cookbook doesn't have pictures, names, and page numbers of all of the recipes in sequential order shown either in the front or back of the book as like an index type deal, I put it down. At that point I'm done like a tom turkey (also paleo). Right then and there, you've lost me. Juli's book has this. I'm visually oriented, what can I say. (Speaking of which, HAVE YOU SEEN THE PIC OF THE LAYERED FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE ON PG. 242? Yeah. I wanna smash my entire face right into that gorgeous looking cake. No, I haven't made it, but if it's anything like any of her other desserts, it's nothing short of spectacular.) I can't speak to the dessert section because I can't even articulate the enormity of my sweet tooth. I've tried a few of her desserts in the past and they are just off limits to me hey're that tasty. Also, I LOVE that she has flaps on the book cover so that I can use them as pseudo bookmarks. I love the pics (I try not to stare and salivate for too long), she includes recommendations for other dishes that would pair well with that dish or that you might enjoy if you liked said dish, and finally, although I don't spend a lot of time reading her anecdotes, those I do read I find comical, so you might as well. I'm a straight shooter and I don't sugar coat things and my impression is that she doesn't either. Finally, I don't particularly enjoy cooking. I don't wanna spend my entire afternoon and evening in the kitch. Juli's recipes are quick and tasty. Yet another selling point as far as I'm concerned.My only criticism, and this is completely personal preference, but I don't think the stevia in the sweet almond milk in necessary. That's the only ingredient I'd omit.Here's the deal folks. If you're on the paleo fence, I strongly encourage you to check out her blog (paleOMG). She has about a bajillion recipes there dating back to at least 2011 that you can check out for free. FREE! My husband and I have been eating paleo since October, 27 2014 (yes, I do remember the exact day) and we haven't made the same recipe twice, most of which came from Juli's blog and/or one of her two previous cookbooks. Don't be surprised if for the first two weeks of eating paleo meals you're left thinking, "Hmmm, these recipes are largely mediocre." Give your palate time to adjust to healthy eating and I SWEAR to you that you'll find these recipes are as tasty if not tastier than what you've been eating. Your taste buds are overstimulated by the processed foods you eat (ever wonder why that Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal is so freaking spectacularly delicious?? Yep. You know what I'm talking about. Or just Google it.)Am I friends with Juli? Nope. Have I met her? Nope. Did I receive a free copy to preview? Nope. Do we live about an hour apart geographically? Yep. Point being: I'm singing accolades because Juli truly deserves them, not because I have a vested interest in Juli or whatever she does. I'm a vocal gal. If I like something, you'll know. If I dislike something you'll know. I love love love this cookbook (as well as her book OMG that's paleo? (I'll admit The Paleo Kitchen was my least favorite cookbook, but in her defense, at least from an outsider's perspective, that cookbook was a collaborative effort, not an individual one. Not sure whether that had anything to do with anything.) I just wanna grab Juli by the shoulders, give her a little shake whilst asking her, "When is your next cookbook coming out?!?!?!?!!)Alrighty then. I'm done.

Title: Great recipes that aren't too complicated.
Review: I've been following Paleomg the blog for a few years now and have yet to purchase one of Juli's cookbooks but I had to have this one. From the blog, I love that the recipes use minimal ingredients, are easy to put together on a weeknight and are super delicious. I also love that Juli seems to share my love of all things buffalo flavored, and that's evident in this book as well. I've had it for a few weeks and make something every week from it and have not been disappointed.Just from a visual perspective, this cookbook is really pretty. There's a lot of personality in the recipe descriptions, which is true to Juli's blog as well. All great stuff. But of course, the best part is the food. So far, the buffalo chicken casserole has been one of my favorites, I ate it cold the next day it was so good and will make it again for sure. The perfect pizza crust is also delicious, I've used it for chorizo breakfast pizzas (which made me wonder why there is not always an egg on my pizza) and for just a traditional pizza and loved at how easy it was! Less than ten ingredients, no special equipment, it's really foolproof. The fish tacos were also a hit. I was concerned about tortillas without corn, but since I do feel sensitive to it, I was excited to try. They were easy and tasty. I've also made the lechon asado (with all accompaniments suggested), the chicken carbonara casserole, jalapeno popper chili, and the maple bacon pork loin. I didn't let the sauce thicken enough for that one but the pork was seasoned and cooked so perfectly, I didn't even need it. Will make pork loins like that again and again. So far, everything has been really yummy. This book did not disappoint!

Title: Juli Bauer's new cookbook does NOT disappoint!
Review: I own Juli's previous book, The Paleo Kitchen, that she co-authored with George Bryant. I am a HUGE Juli fan (I've been reading her blog since back in the day when she used to cuss and was unapologetic about it.), but I didn't like the recipes in The Paleo Kitchen one bit--and I tried a bunch of them. I was hopeful that The Paleo Cookbook would be better. Well guess what? It does NOT disappoint! I got it in the mail yesterday and went out to buy the ingredients for the Maple Bacon Pork Loin, Spiced Sweet Potatoes, and the Basil, Mint, & Cucumber Gin & Tonic. We were in Paleo heaven last night! Even my 15-year-old son who said he wasn't "into" pork wolfed down about 1/2 a loin saying, "Wow, pork loin is actually good when it's cooked right!" He even swore some sort of an oath by the maple bacon sauce that he loved so much, but I was ignoring him and didn't catch all of it.For lunch today I made the tortillas and was SUPER pleased with how they turned out. We ended up eating them with everything for the next three days--even the picky teen was eating them straight off of the pan. For lunch, I threw in some leftover pork and sweet potatoes from the night before, topped it with a little white cheddar, chopped spinach, and Sir Kensington's Chipotle Mayo--oh WOW! As I write this, I am drinking the Chunky Monkey breakfast shake (delish!) post workout and planning to make the Prosciutto Herb Frittata with hash brown patties for BFD (breakfast for dinner) tonight. I made the dirty chai chocolate muffins...which my 15-year-old scarfed down. Usually he won't touch my "healthy" foods, but you should have seen his eyes light up when he saw that I had packed him a muffin for his "to-go" breakfast.I love that Juli's recipes are fairly simple and very easy to follow; you will too! Go on, buy this cookbook, you won't be disappointed. It's as cute and fun as she is!Update 8/30/15: Okay really, I just keep cooking and cooking these recipes, they are so crazy good--my family is tired of hearing about Juli Bauer and PaleOMG, but they are super happy that I keep cooking from this book. We have a bunch of short ribs that I couldn't figure out how to cook, so I made the Slow Cooker Short Rib Tostadas, and we would have been willing to eat the meat by itself! The recipes in this book are simple but amazing.

Review: I am a fan of all things Juli Bauer so I expected that her cookbook would be amazing...and it is. This is a beautiful Paleo cookbook and every recipe is simple and nutritional and easy to prepare. If you are following the Paleo diet or if you just enjoy good food and a healthy, clean diet, then this should be your next purchase. Added bonus: Juli's commentary and her refreshing take on food and life in general is hilarious--no pretence here, just one intelligent and witty gal who loves life.

Review: I almost don't have words for how in love I am with this book! I want to make EVERYTHING in it. I want to have 5 breakfasts because pancakes but also muffins but then sweet potato waffles .... You get the idea.Juli is not only super smart and some sort of culinary divine being, she's also REALLY funny, and I hereby declare my undying devotion to her for just saying what many of us, well, definitely me, already think: life is too short for black and bitter coffee! If you've seen her blog you already know she's awesome. If you're paleo, and even if you're not, to be honest, you will LOVE this book and everything in it because it will save you from ever having to eat another boring meal ever again.I absoluteluy suck at cooking. I hate it, in fact. And I get massively cheesed off at people who make me buy organic strawberry pink grapes harvested by virgin goldfish on the 6th Tuesday of the full moon at midnight, only to tell me I only need half of one of these and the rest then goes in the bin because you never ever use it again. Juli's recipes make me excited about cooking (I know, I'm as shocked as you) and the stuff you need gets used a lot so you won't have a kitchen counter littered with one off purchases.Just get the book. You won't be disappointed.

Review: I am a huge fan of Juli Bauer and all of her recipes. This book will definitely not disappoint. Most recipes are fairly easy to make and everything I've tried tastes fantastic. I cannot get enough of the street fish tacos....they are a real favourite around my house. Honourable mentions to the maple bacon pork loin, truffle mushroom burger, buffalo chicken casserole, pork artichoke stuffed mushrooms and the list goes on! For all paleo and non-paleo eaters out there, this is a great addition to any cookbook library!

Review: What I like about this paleo Book and juli in generally is that her recipes and attitude are achievable and not off putting. The reviews are really good and great variety of them. Breakfast treats to nutritious options and healthy meals to sweet desserts. The ingredients are all available and not ridiculously long and the recipes are easy to follow. Sweet potato waffles yummy and chia chocolate muffins delicious and the rest of the book is broken down into poultry, beef, chicken, port and lamb, seafood, salad, snacks and desserts.A wonderful collection of recipes whether you are a paleo fan or not the recipes are good and work
