Holy smokes, my cookbook will be out in one month! That is pretty crazy.

The recipes in my book will be aligned with my belief that safe starches (white rice, tapioca, potatoes) and some forms of dairy have a place in the modern interpretation of the Paleo diet. If you follow a more strict interpretation of Paleo, never fear! The Ancestral Table is mostly filled with strictly Paleo offerings, and the book will also include a substitution guide for anyone wanting to convert the other recipes to a more conventional version of Paleo while maintaining maximum taste.
The Ancestral Table: Traditional Recipes for a Paleo Lifestyle will be out in all major bookstores on February 11th, 2014, and is available for pre-order now:

Congrats Russ!! Exciting stuff! That looks like such a great list of recipes, can’t wait for the cookbook to come out! I love that you included how to render pork fat. I have done it before and tried to do it from memory from what the farmer told me. I think I could have saved a lot of mess and trouble if I had a good written guide!

Thanks Brad! The hardest part of writing the book was deciding what to put in the book. There are so many favorites that didn’t make it into the final draft. I guess that’s for book #2! The best part is definitely having a physical copy in my hands – it’s weird and awesome to final see the fruits of nearly 2 years of labor.

Just found your blog today, and I’ll definitely be back! These recipes in your book sound superb.. I’m sold! Eagerly awaiting its release now.
I’ve been experimenting with paleo recipes the past few weeks and I have to say I have been feeling great on them and they are so tasty. I don’t even feel like I miss most foods that I used to crave since I don’t get hungry nearly as often. Not to mention, it’s really helped stop my instant noodle addiction!

I’d try the barbecue sauce and then put it on the pulled pork. Because I’m afraid of cooking and these sound approachable.
