Book Review: Nom Nom Paleo – Food for Humans

Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans by Michelle Tam and Henry Fong (Andrews McMeel Publishing)

From the mastermind of the hit food blog nomnompaleo.com comes Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans. A California native, blogger Michelle Tam has always loved the sights and smells of the kitchen. In 2010 she decided to adopt a raw food or paleo diet, cutting all grains, legumes, sugar and processed food from her diet and the Nom Nom Paleo blog was born.

In her New York Times bestselling cookbook, Michelle introduces readers to more than 100 flavour-packed, nutrient-dense recipes using real, whole ingredients for foodies, fitness buffs and families alike. Each recipe features a fun, fresh style, awesome cartoons and full colour photography. A mother of two, Michelle knows about feeding a busy family so she made sure her book included several features on feeding kids, such as packing nutritious lunches and boosting umami (a Japanese word describing a savoury taste most associated with bacon). With something for everyone, Nom Nom Paleo’s recipes include Coconut Pineapple “Rice”, Chicken Nuggets with Lemon Honey Sauce or Whole-Roasted Branzini ready in under 30 minutes. $40, available where books are sold.
