I enjoyed the simplicity of the recipies but there could have been more photos. I think this is a good book for college students wanting to try a new diet.

Title: The 5-Ingredient Paleo Cookbook



Author: Genevieve Jerome



Genre: Nonfiction, Cookbook, Paleo



Plot: If you are looking for ease imflammation, control food allergies or simply eat more healthy then the Paleo diet might be the best option for you. But how do you switch over to this diet and then stick to it on busy days? How do you overhaul your pantry to qualify as Paleo and what exactly is Paleo anyway?



This slim cookbook answers all these questions and more while acting as a friendly and easy introduction to the Paleo diet.



Likes/Dislikes: Right off the bat, we need to point out that a lot of these recipes call for more than just five ingredients so don't be too thrown by that. My family and I are on the Paleo diet to help with autoimmune disorders and inflammation; it works for us and I have done a lot of research on it. This book, while probably not the best Paleo cookbook available, is a good starting place for beginners.

I received a copy of this book courtesy of Netgalley for my honest opinion and I wasn't required to write a positive review. The opinions expressed in the above review are my own.

Five ingredients keeps things simple, which I like. Paleo isn't something that I'm going to adopt for every meal, but it's nice to be able to do it for some foods. I didn't make all of them, but the recipes I tried were tasty and healthful.

This was a pretty good book on paleo cooking. I like that there are just a short list of ingredients. Paleo can tend to have a long ingredient lists. There are a lot of recipes that I’m excited to try. I just wish there were more pictures!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book, which I voluntarily chose to review.

This was a very well written cookbook. I found the layout to flow well and the recipes were easy to understand and follow along to. I look forward to trying some of them out for my family.

This is a great resource for anyone on a Paleo diet, or anyone looking for some fresh, healthy recipes. As someone who follows the Low FODMAP diet I was I able to take quite a bit of useful information away from this book.

Some great recipes in there. I can see this being a great, everyday dinner reference.

Many thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

I have been looking into the Paleo lifestyle and thought this cookbook would be great for making quick meals for my family. I loved that there are only five ingredients and the recipes I tried were delicious. I highly recommend this cookbook

This is a great addition to my paleo lifestyle as the recipes have the amazing 5-ingredient title. There are a few that contain extras in some way, but most can be done with the five. This is a book that takes someone who is tired of the same old recipes and offers a group of new ones to include in your lifestyle. If you are seeking a diet or lifestyle change, this is a great gorgeous book that will help you get on your way. I rushed out and tried several included, and was not disappointed. This will be a book I will turn to again and again.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

The 5-Ingredient Paleo Cookbook was an enjoyable cookbook. I liked the introduction and the personal touch the author provided about her story. The recipes are quick and easy to follow. My only suggestion would be more pictures of the recipes, but I always like to see ahead of time what the end result will look like.

This is a great cookbook with easy to use delicious recipes. I have already made the crock pot beef stew. It was very easy to make and delicious. The use of sweet potatoes really added to the flavor. If you are looking for fast easy great tasting meals you will enjoy this book. Directions are easy to follow and nutritional information is also given.

This is a great new Paleo cookbook based on recipes that only need 5 ingredients. Paleo can sometimes be hard to follow or to create proper recipes, but this book was easy to follow and I was able to find all of the ingredients. Looking forward to adding this to my cookbook collection.

Paleo is a little tough for me to do (willpower!), so I was glad to try out some "non-scary" recipes with (about) 5 ingredients or so. The first chapter also did a decent intro about what Paleo is and how it has helped the author. So far, I have really liked the Tropical Delight Smoothie, the Pumpkin Pie Smoothie, the mini pepperoni pizza bites, and the chicken-veggie shish kabobs. I have a lot of other recipes bookmarked to try next, like the apple pie bakes apples.

I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

The 5-Ingredient Paleo Cookbook is a fast and easy collection of simple recipes that follow the traditional paleo diet guidelines. These healthy meal options have limited ingredients and are quick assemble and cook. There are detailed instructions and each recipe includes a variation or tip for customizing them. I did try a taco-stuffed sweet potato which had a great flavor, but cooking time seemed off a little. I liked that there was a variety of recipes that I had not seen in other related cookbooks. I'm excited to try some of the other tasty options.

for someone on the Paleo diet this book is perfect. For someone with not a lot of time on their hands this cookbook is full of good, healthy, and yummy recipes. Only 5 Ingredients is the best way to keep up with the special diet. Very easy to navigate the book

Finally a simple easy to follow Paleo cookbook that doesn't involve cooking with everything but the kitchen sink. Sometimes we over think things and come to the notion that more is better. You don't have to create elaborate meals to get the nutrients you need. This definitely helps simplify meals and meal planning.

Great explanation on what Paleo eating is. Lots of recipes using 5 easily found ingredients. Many of the recipes also have nut-free and vegan adaptations. Wish there were more photos.
Found a couple of recipes that I can't wait to try.

This cookbook should be a staple for anyone following a paleo diet or anyone interested in eating healthier. There is a wide variety of recipes included to please any palate. All of the recipes are fast, easy, and include easy-to-find and relatively inexpensive ingredients. This is a great resource to anyone looking for inspiration for meal prep.

Congratulations on your health accomplishments, Ms. Jerome! Thank you, Callisto Media and NetGalley for an ARC.

I enjoyed looking through the recipes. They seem simple and doable, especially for a busy week. I've already made note of the recipes I'd like to try.
