Paleo Italian Cooking: Authentic Italian Gluten-Free Family Recipes Paperback – Illustrated, October 6, 2015

"Wow!", my family exclaimed as we all dove into one of Cindy's recipes. "No store-bought tomato sauce tonight!" I had fixed Tuscan-Style Bolognese for them. This is a must-have cook book. Not only does it slow you down to enjoy preparing your food together, but it also helps you focus on actual food rather that our modern food stuffs which arrive in a box and are laced with chemicals and highly processed wheat-based, food-like substances. I first got Cindy's e-book which is very convenient for an iPad cookbook. However, I was having some technical challenges with it, and Cindy promptly sent the hard copy to me -- at no charge -- so I could get right to work with her recipes (don't try that trick on her -- I already used it!). She was very helpful and obviously loves what she does. The hard copy of her cookbook, itself, is so beautiful that it also makes a great coffee table book. The beautiful glossy pictures of the very colorful food, and the her descriptions of preparing to cook will inspire you to give up fast food and convenience dining, for the most part, and follow Cindy's great family tradition of planning, preparing and cooking meals together with family and friends so you can feed them with dishes that both taste great and are good for you. I think it's actually essential to good health and happy living.

I have used Cindy's recipes on many occasions and have loved everyone of them! As a Sicilian, her recipes resonate with how I was raised and she understands the value of good quality food that doesn't have to be fussy or difficult to make! The Paleo version gives such great options for those who are following a different food plan - it works! Great flavors and easy instructions! The photos are beautiful and this cookbook is now a standard at our home!

Don't make the Spinach artichoke rolls!!!!!!!!!!! They were to die for. LITERALLY. They tasted like death.😲The pork chops were okay though 😉

Some great recipes

I absolutely love this cookbook! Wonderful recipes, very easy to follow directions, beautiful photos, and normal ingredients. I like being able to whip out this book and prepare a delicious dish that is healthy and that I usually have must of the ingredients for. Love the fact that I can cook Italian meals (which I grew up on) in a paleo version (which i did not grow up on) that tastes amazing!

Great recipes- the lemon cake is just like grandma made.

Wonderful and simple recipes that are tasty and easy to prepare.

The recipes are missing ingredients. Big spaces. Some only list vinegar or salt and pepper for example. I don't get it. Am I doing something wrong?

Lovely book, although many of these recipes are not at all new to women who cook.
