Nom Nom Paleo
Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans | Michelle Tam, Henry Fong
6 posts | 10 read | 3 to read
A New York Timescookbook best-seller. Nom Nom Paleo is a visual feast, crackling with humor and packed with stunningly photographed step-by-step recipes free of gluten, soy, and added sugar. Designed to inspire the whole family to chow down on healthy, home-cooked meals, this cookbook compiles over 100 foolproof recipes that demonstrate how fun and flavorful cooking with wholesome ingredients can be. And did we mention the cartoons? Nom Nom Paleo kicks off with a fresh introduction to Paleo eating, taking readers on a guided tour of author Michelle Tam's real-food strategies for stocking the kitchen, saving time, and maximizing flavors. Also, sprinkled throughout the book are enlightening features on feeding kids, packing nutritious lunches, boosting umami, and much more. But the heart of this book is Michelle's award-winning recipes, 50 percent of which are brand-new --- even to diehard fans who own her bestselling iPad cookbook app. Readers can start by marrying their favorite ingredients with building blocks like Sriracha Mayonnaise, Louisiana Remoulade, and the infamous Magic Mushroom Powder. These basic recipes lay the foundation for many of the fabulous delights in the rest of the book including Eggplant "Ricotta" Stacks, Crab Louie, and Devils on Horseback. There's something for everyone in this cookbook, from small bites like Apple Chips and Kabalagala (Ugandan plantain fritters) to family-sized platters of Coconut Pineapple "Rice" and Siu Yoke (crispy roast pork belly). Crave exotic spices? You won't be able to resist the fragrant aromas of Fast Pho or Mulligatawny Soup. In the mood for down-home comforts? Make some Yankee Pot Roast or Chicken Nuggets drizzled with Lemon Honey Sauce. When a quick weeknight meal is in order, Nom Nom Paleo can show you how to make Crispy Smashed Chicken or Whole-Roasted Branzini in less than 30 minutes. And for a cold treat on a hot day, nothing beats Mocha Popsicles or a two-minute Strawberry Banana Ice Cream. Healthy cooking doesn't mean sacrificing flavor. This book gives you "Paleo with personality," and will make you excited to play in the kitchen again.

I‘m making Tex Mex beef and riced cauliflower casserole from this book tonight. Hopefully it turns out edible. #glutenfree #dairyfree #nomnompaleo

Tamra I love Frontera, especially the verde. (edited) 6y
Vexingcircumstance @Tamra I think I‘ll get the spicier kind next time. 6y
Tamra @Vexingcircumstance for me the spicier the better. The verde is 👌🏾. 6y

Megabooks I‘m always looking for gf recipes! I have celiac disease. If there‘s any you‘re willing to share my email is booksandcooks.litsy at gmail dot com! 6y
Vexingcircumstance @Megabooks I usually eat pretty simple stuff. I rarely have time to really cook. My husband is a truck driver and I only REALLY cook when he‘s home. So I don‘t have a ton of recipes but I can send you this one if you‘d like. I‘ve loved everything I‘ve tried from Nom Nom Paleo. 6y
Megabooks I‘d love that! Thanks! 6y

So my weight has always been a struggle for me...I am sort of an oddball in that I am terrible at losing weight, but when I finally manage to get it off I am pretty good at maintaining. But life gets in the way, as it does, and stress, and those pesky hormones, and it starts creeping back on. SO! I am jumping on the Paleo train, and this cookbook seems like a ton of fun. #paleo #sugaraddictsunite #cookbooks

saresmoore This is a great one! I just got her latest and it is also fantastic, arranged based on the amount of dinner prep time you have and including meal plans. 7y
AlaMich @saresmoore I saw that one too. I got this from the library so I could test drive it. It is definitely entertaining, and her kids are adorable!! 😊 7y

YUM.🍴 I've made these spicy tuna cakes before and they are so flavorful, delicious, and healthy! I just wanted to share the recipe: http://nomnompaleo.com/post/91332244628/spicy-tuna-cakes #litsykitchen

BookishBlonde12 That looks amazing!! 7y
Bks4Wrms This actually looks pretty good and I don't even like or eat fish or seafood! 7y
britt_brooke @Bks4Wrms The tuna flavor isn't overpowering because of all the other strong flavors (sweet potato, jalapeño, cilantro, lemon). Seems like a weird combination, but it works well. 7y

These are my go-to Paleo cookbooks. I also love Well-Fed, The Paleo Cupboard Cookbook, and the Whole30 book, but I gave those away. 😬 I use all three of Danielle Walker's books frequently because they are the family favorites. I'm drawn to more complex, chef-y cookbooks (like Paleo by Season, pictured), but alas, the ingredients are pricey and my kids don't much like the food.

What are your favorites?

TrishTheBibliophile Can I ask how you feel about Nom Nom Paleo? Does it include recipes not on her website? 8y
she_barks Mine isn't available on Litsy, but I like the Autoimmune paleo cookbook. Everything I've made so far has been so delicious and soothing. 8y
Cinfhen Thanks so much for sharing your wealth of information and inspiration😊I love the idea of this diet but I'm not sure I'll be able to keep it up. I'm going to read more about it before I jump right in. 8y

Smangela I spy YLEOs ❤ 8y
saresmoore @TrishTheBibliophile I like her cookbook as a book itself. For me, the book format is preferable to online recipes, so I don't know how many of them are not on her site. Her story is inspiring and the book is so much fun! She's coming out with (or already has?) a new one, so that might include more fresh & exclusive info. 8y
saresmoore @she_barks I've really been wanting to try that one! I haven't been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, but night shades are not my friends (sigh). Thank you for recommending it! 8y
saresmoore @Cinfhen I think it's good just to dabble in different ways of eating and preparing food, commitment free. I really committed to Paleo for the sake of my Celiac housemate and my ADHD husband. The added bonus is how healthy my kids are and how good I feel! But I still love my family's traditional foods and have had fun adapting many of those good ol' recipes. 🙂 8y
saresmoore @Smangela Yes! I have worked hard for a (mostly) toxin- and plastic-free household, too. Those oils are the ones I cook with or add to my drinking water to help balance body pH! 🤓 8y
Suet624 I'm a YLEO user too! 8y
saresmoore @Suet624 Of course! Great minds and all. 😊 8y
JacqMac I have some of these. Make it Paleo and Paleo Takeout are two others that I use a lot. 8y
saresmoore @JacqMac Paleo Takeout sounds fun! I think my husband would like that one. Thanks for sharing! 8y

Tonight's recommendation is Nom Nom Paleo. It's the only real cookbook I currently own. It's absolutely awesome. To make my copy even more awesome it's a $30 book that I could never have afforded but I found my copy at a library used book sale for $3. If you have any interest in being Paleo, have food allergies or autoimmune issues or just love cookbooks you should get this one ASAP. #cookbooks #Paleo

britt_brooke This is a great one! 8y
