Our Favorite Paleo Books
| Everyday Paleo Family CookbookGood lightweight intro and a solid general cookbook. Attractive and easy to read. Great for paleo families. | |
The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet This is the first paleo book I read, and still a top recommendation. Very comprehensive yet easy to read. A few of the ideas have since been reconsidered by the author, at least for generally healthy readers. |
|
Paleo Comfort Foods: Homestyle Cooking for a Gluten-Free Kitchen Very attractive and interesting cook book. Appropriate for the coffee table as well as the kitchen. |
|
The Paleo Answer: 7 Days to Lose Weight, Feel Great, Stay Young Another classic, with a confusingly similar cover to Robb Wolf’s book. Dr. Cordain did much of the original heavy lifting on this subject, so here again heavy on science with a few ideas since updated. |
|
Primal Body, Primal Mind: Beyond the Paleo Diet for Total Health and a Longer Life I’d recommend this mainly for performance athletes, coaches, or those who want a very scientific/medical explanation of things. Excellent information if you don’t mind a more technical style, but I’d read one of the others first. |
|
Paleo Slow Cooking: Gluten Free Recipes Made Simple Slow-cookers are the modern caveman’s best friend. A great collection of recipes. |
|
It Starts with Food: Discover the Whole30 and Change Your Life in Unexpected Ways Not technically a “paleo” book though it covers most of the same ideas – and very well. |
Other Books
Practical Paleo: A Customized Approach to Health and a Whole-Foods Lifestyle Paleo intro and recipes. |
|
Eat Like a Dinosaur: Recipe & Guidebook for Gluten-free Kids Teaches kids (and their adults) about paleo concepts and cooking. Excellent handling of specific allergens. Occasionally a little weak on what constitutes paleo, IMHO. |
