Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.

Clean Paleo One-Pot Meals is a tutorial guide and cookbook with recipes developed by Christina Shoemaker. Released 6th Oct 2020 by Quarto on their Fair Winds Press imprint, it's 192 pages (print version) and is available in paperback and ebook formats.

The introduction includes a good overview over the paleo diet, what it includes (and doesn't) and some theory behind the food selections. There's also an introduction to meal prep and planning and some (very) basic suggestions for paleo friendly clean snacks.

The recipes are grouped by category: breakfast, sheet-pan/baking dish dinners, skillet meals, soups, and one-dish desserts. Recipe ingredients are listed bullet style in a sidebar. Measurements are given in US standard with metric equivalents in parentheses (yay!). Special tools and ingredients are also listed, along with yields and cooking directions. Icons in the headers highlight dairy-free, egg-free, vegetarian, vegan, and/or keto.

Most of the ingredients are easily sourced at any moderately well stocked grocery store. Nutritional information is not included (which surprised me, especially considering some recipes are specifically developed to be keto-friendly). Tips and variations on each recipe are included in a text box at the end.

The book also includes a short author bio and a cross referenced index. Roughly half the recipes include photos. The photos are clear and attractive and the serving suggestions are appealing and appropriate.

Four stars. This would make a superlative selection for busy cooks wanting a simplified way to test the paleo diet and make a real effort to give it a genuine try in an accessible and logical manner.
