My Idol

Before I go any farther, I think it is only fair to direct you to the woman who has been my inspiration to pursue more variety in my grain-free diet.

Just eating meats, veggies, fruits, and eggs can get boring really fast.  I tried some bread-like recipes from other web sites and they just did not turn out right.  Although some were “edible,” they were not good.  

The recipes I have tried from Danielle’s site always turn out perfect and are delicious.  She has inspired me to branch out on my own and try original recipes.  Her site is filled with information about the ingredients, equipment, nutrition, and everything else imaginable about the Paleo diet.

Check it out at:  http://againstallgrain.com/

She has written several books.  I bought the first one and am still working my way through it.  A lot of the information in it is on the web site, but she gives more detail in the books and it is very handy to have the reference work right in front of you when you suddenly discover you don’t have any arrow root powder.  She helps you with substitutions and alternative ingredients.  She has been doing this for many years and knows her stuff.

I highly recommend you buy her book if you want to seriously try a Paleo diet. She has links to buy the books on her web site.  http://againstallgrain.com/shop/

  Whenever I find a recipe online that I think sounds good, I always double check with Danielle to make sure the ingredients are compatible and that they will do what the recipe claims they will do.  

Ditto for if I want to make something original.  Often I  will take her recipe as a starting point and make changes to fit our tastes.  She encourages you to do this and will answer your questions if you can’t figure out what you should do.


She is currently on a book tour and you should go see her if she comes near you.
