Paleo Comfort Foods: Homestyle Cooking For A Gluten-Free Kitchen (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
I'm glad that I purchased this book. I've tried a few recipes and they taste very good. As a Type 2 diabetic, I found greater control of my glucose levels and HbA1c by strictly limiting the sugars, grains and beans I allow in my diet. I worry less about calorie and fat intake. I have also found that my appetite is less voracious. I really do believe that I respond to sugars and starchy foods the way alcoholics respond to beer and liquor - once I start eating these foods, I find that I am never full, never satisfied, whereas, I quickly find I am full and satisfied with a diet based on vegetables, proteins and some fat. This may be a personal quirk or in fact, a genetic disposition; either way, a paleo/primal approach to diet works very well for me. Perhaps instead of Paleo Comfort Foods this book should be titled Paleo Southern Foods as many of the recipes are Southern in nature. I have made 2 recipes from the book (their version of Chicken Pot Pie Casserole and Turkey Loaf) and found them very tasty. My 14-yr-old son didn't like the Chicken Pot Pie but really liked the Turkey Loaf. The recipes are a bit more time-consuming than what I am used to but I'll definitely be trying some more of them out. I may make the chocolate cake recipe for my upcoming birthday.

Great comfort foods but bear in mind you will need lots of spices.
