GIVEAWAY and Review of The Paleo Foodie Cookbook By Arsy Vartanian

 

GIVEAWAY-paleo-foodie-443x550Do you love food?

Do you love Paleo?

This is the book for you!

As I answer yes to both the above questions, it is definitively the book for me.

I was so lucky to be able to attend Arsy’s book release party  for The Paleo Foodie in her home town of Santa Cruz, it was my first book launch and it was fabulous. There I had the first taste of Arsy’s recipes, and it blew my socks off!

I do not usually define myself by the word “foodie”, but I do love food, and I love all kinds of different foods. When I travel my number one mission is to eat my way though a place…getting to know all the best local flavors.

For this reason, Arsy’s book is especially dear to my heart. (and my palate). her recipes are a wonderful blend of flavors, some more homey and some more exotic.

Every single recipe in the book has a unique charm, (it’s not called a foodie cookbook for nothing!!) a subtle refinement that elevates it from the common mortal recipe.

Is brings Paleo cuisine to a whole new level!

Oh! But dot be intimidated by that, because all the recipes are simple enough for a beginner cook, her instructions are clear and extensive, and the photography is gorgeous.

Here are some of my favorite recipes from The Paleo Foodie:

Creamy bacon wrapped dates:  Love at first bite! I got to try these at her Book release party!

Braised goat shoulder: as you know I love goat meat! With this recipe you can be sure of excellent results!

Crab, papaya and cucumber salad: Easy, fresh, exotic: delicious!

Sautéed broccoli with parsley and anchovy sauce: I am lover of the humble anchovy! give me anything with anchovy on it! In this recipe it really gives a kick of flavor to the otherwise plain broccoli!

You can go to Amazon and have a sneak peak into The Paleo Foodie.

Visit Arsy’s blog Rubies and Radishes for more amazing recipes!

      Thank you Cindy! I am actually familiar with the site, it is a very nice and informative website! I think my approach is less commercial and more homegrown with a big emphasis on local, sustainable, organic food! Most of my recipes also come from my own family or form my travels! 🙂
