I am a vegetarian and I wasn't sure what to expect from the Paleo diet. I know it's very popular but I doubted I would like the recipes when I discovered that some of my favorite foods are not allowed: corn, potatoes, grains and legumes.But not to worry because there are some great recipes in this book. For instance, I love zucchini bread and the first recipe in the book is for zucchini pancakes which I am certain to love. A lot of these recipes call for nut flours, since grains are not allowed. Nuts will make these pancakes taste richer than 'regular' pancakes made with wheat and other grain flours.The cauliflower cream soup is very similar to one I make often so I know it's delicious. The only difference is that I usually add a bit of spicy mustard to my cauliflower soup.The raisin vinaigrette is included in the dessert section but it sounds as though it would be great on those zucchini pancakes I'm looking forward to eating. The combination of sweet raisins with the spiciness of the other ingredients is unusual and if you are a raisin lover, this is a recipe to try.And then we come to my favorite of the recipes: coconut ice! This is an alternative to ice cream and if you like coconut, you will love this recipe! This is certain to be a favorite treat when the weather is warm once again.
