Synopsis

Now you can have your cake and be paleo, too! The Paleolithic diet and lifestyle—based on eating hunter/gatherer foods for optimal health—has surged in popularity, but with grains, dairy, and refined sugars off the menu, indulging isn’t easy.

Paleo Desserts is the first comprehensive cookbook of its kind: everyone’s favorite desserts now made Paleo friendly, lower carb, and gluten free. Providing 125 mouthwatering, easy-to-follow recipes from brownies to milkshakes, Jane Barthelemy serves up treats to satiate even the biggest caveman sweet tooth.

Recipes include Raspberry Crumble Bars, Tiramisu, Black Forest Cherry Pie, Lemon-Berry Parfait, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Whipped Coconut Crème, and more. Paleo Desserts includes a color-photo insert and ingredient lists for simplified shopping.

About this title

From the Author:

My cookbook is the result of my personal journey as a chef, health practitioner, and food lover. I wrote Paleo Desserts because I wanted to re-create all the classic American desserts that I once craved, in a Paleolithic, or hunt-and-gather version. Any caveperson could make them, that is, if he or she had a food processor!

If you enjoy a special diet, welcome home. Perhaps you've found that gluten, sweets, dairy, or nightshades are not what you need. Maybe you miss your favorite sweets, but know they will not make you healthy and happy.

These recipes give you delicious desserts that are truly nourishing, and extremely low in carbs. They're tastier than my Mom's, because they're made with real food like fresh vegetables, tart fruits, and nuts. All of the recipes are free of gluten, grains, dairy, beans, nightshades, industrial gmo foods like corn, soy, canola, and all sugars. Hooray!

Although I suggest ingredients, I'm not promoting any product. I want you to choose the ingredients that are right for you. The recipes were built around the carefully researched products I suggest, and you are free to take a chance experimenting with your favorite ingredients. The main "flour" is pure shredded coconut (27% carbs) ground in any food processor. The suggested sweetener is Just Like Sugar Table Top natural chicory root sweetener with zero carbs. You are free to substitute your own sweetener cup for cup.

For me - and perhaps for you - this has been an interesting journey of giving up a lot of foods, one at a time. Paleo Desserts was motivated by my enormous passion for sweets - a passion so strong I had to find a way to create sweets that are also good for my body and every body.
