Anyone here have any good cook books. Im currently using just The Paleo Recipe Book and was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions?

    I have bought a few of the paleo cookbooks but I must admit I probably use my old non paleo cookbooks more and just adapt the recipes. This might be because I am in the UK and so don't have access to a lot of the ingredients in the American books. I'm also not keen on nuts and they seem to figure quite highly in a lot of the books. Primal Cravings and Well Fed are probably my two favourites. Mark Sissons book on sauces is also pretty good as it helps you jazz up a simple meal quite easily - my main objection to that book is how calorific his recipes are, so good if you are primal without needing to shed a few pounds, but not so good if you are also trying to lose weight.

    It's not Paleo, but I was given "The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Feeling Great" by Pam Anderson for Christmas and really like it, lots of options for swaps and variations. Uses herbs and spices as seasonings so nothing is bland and boring which was a consistent problem with other "diet" cookbooks I have tried in the past.

    I also get recipes from Lulora.com and from the MFP blogs.

    Not specifically a cookbook, but I liked the book - Powerful Paleo Superfoods, as thought it gave a nice overview of some great foods to be including in what you cook/ eat. Few recipes too, but not really a cookbook as I say.

    Millions, but none are specifically paleo. It's easy to pick out paleo-friendly recipes or adapt, though.

    Good starter cookbook is Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything. I also really liked his cookbook Fish--it's how I learned to be comfortable cooking Fish. I really like Barbara Kafka's Roasting, converted me to high heat in many cases, and of course lots of focus on meat. I also enjoyed her Vegetable Love book. Greene on Greens is an old classic. Molly Stevens' All About Braising, The River Cottage Meat Book, and Nigel Slater's Tender are others I like, but there are tons. I'm intentionally ignoring everything that specializes on a specific cuisine.
