Perfectly Paleo Recipes by Rosa Rigby

Sample provided for review

Living with a chronic illness, it can be hard navigating food allergies and sensitivities to find what will make your cranky body function best. Many with thyroid disorders – like me – have had success with Paleo eating. When I saw this beautifully designed book by Rosa Rigby of clean, Paleo eating, I was eager to give it a look.

In brief – Paleo aims to have us eat the way our distant ancestors did: no processed food, lots of protein and veggies, minimal sugars, grains, and dairy.

With the chill of April showers, it’s a perfect time to cook rich, nutritious soups. A great start to your soups is using a nutrient-dense bone broth, as excerpted below.

Bone Broth – makes 2 cups

1 pig’s foot

1 pork bone (ask your butcher for both)

1 carrot

2 celery stalks

1 onion, cut in half

a few springs of fresh sage, rosemary, and thyme

1 tablespoon black peppercorns

1 garlic clove

Bring all ingredients to a boil. Simmer on low, 1-2 hours. Skim off foam.

Cool in fridge overnight.

Strain and reheat. Freeze or store in fridge up to 3 days before use as a soup base, or drink on its own when you’re feeling sick.

Perfectly Paleo is a great choice for those looking to try a new way of eating. It is published by Ryland Peters & Small, and can be found wherever books are sold.
