Reddit reviews Make it Paleo: Over 200 Grain Free Recipes For Any Occasion

My boyfriend will eat whatever I cook, he doesn't care what diet or life style it adheres to, which is pretty handy. Usually I'll make a Paleo dinner and if he wants to add some kind of grain or bottled sauce to it, it's his call, I just ask him to do it to his plate only and leave my food alone.

PS: I highly recommend "Make it Paleo" it's a great cookbook (quick, easy, tasty). Everyone I know is getting one for xmas from me. hah!

Here are some baking substitutes that have worked for me (I also have a shitload of eating restrictions):

Gluten: Bob's Red Mill All Purpose gluten free flour is excellent. Their gluten free is great is general; I just made brownies from a mix tonight as a matter of fact.

Dairy: For butter, try macadamia nut oil or coconut oil. I don't like canola personally but that is also commonly used. For milk, try coconut milk (my favorite), almond milk, or soy milk.

Egg: Blend flax seed and a bit of water, or banana and a bit of water.

Sugar: If you're trying to be low carb, something like Splenda will work okay, make sure you can tolerate maltodextrin. For desserts that need the chemical properties of sugar (ie caramelization), look into sugar alcohols. Don't overeat these as they can cause indigestion. If you don't particularly care about low carb, I'm a fan of local honey and maple syrup.

Someone else suggested keto recipes, which is a great idea. Also check out /r/paleo for ideas, as Paleo/Primal is a way of eating that can be adapted to almost any food allergy or issue (flavors include autoimmune, FODMAP, etc) and has worked miracles for my health. As for a cookbook, I highly recommend Make it Paleo and the associated blog.

Paleo seems like a natural choice, but I've found most of the cookbooks lacking. However, both Paleo Comfort Foods and Make it Paleo are pretty good and full of flavorful and completely grain/gluten-free recipes.
