Review:
Diana Rodgers has written a book about getting your hands dirty in the best possible way. From forest to pasture to garden to table, The Homegrown Paleo Cookbook is a joyous, grateful, and gracious map to food that repairs the body as well as the planet. Directions include everything from keeping a pig to building a fairy house. This is a book to feed the soil, the soul, and the world. -- Lierre Keith, author of, The Vegetarian Myth
The Homegrown Paleo Cookbook provides the perfect inspiration for those who want to bring the health, beauty, and the freedom of a Paleo diet into other areas of their home, family, and lifestyle. -- Dallas and Melissa Harwtig, New York Times bestselling authors of, It Starts with Food
A beautiful book that unites the Paleo diet with the sustainable homefront. Don’t read this book to change your diet. Read it to change your life. -- Shannon Hayes, author of, Radical Homemakers
Diana makes wholesome, fresh food both accessible and a lot of fun. She shows how to integrate sustainable eating into the life of a busy family. A perfect resource for a working mom like me. -- Emily Deans, MD, clinical instructor, Harvard Medical School
There’s a lot more to health than food. Staying active, getting enough rest, spending time in nature, having fun, and experiencing a connection to the places and people around us are all vital to our sense of well-being. In The Homegrown Paleo Cookbook, Diana Rodgers reminds us that living well is the key to feeling well—and provides us with the tools we need to live a rich, fulfilling, and healthy life. -- Chris Kresser, New York Times bestselling author of, Your Personal Paleo Code
Diana Rodgers is the real deal: a passionate farmer, Paleo nutritionist, and sustainability champion. She taught me firsthand how our dietary choices impact not just our health but also the workers who grow our food and the world we live in. Filled with gorgeous, inspirational photography and delicious recipes, The Homegrown Paleo Cookbook is a one-of-kind gem that shows us how to nourish our families with the best food possible. -- Michelle Tam, New York Times bestselling author of, Nom Nom Paleo
If Martha Stewart went Paleo, the results would look something like The Homegrown Paleo Cookbook. Diana is at the forefront of Paleo 2.0, inspiring readers to go beyond adopting a Paleo diet and embrace a sustainable, back-to-basics lifestyle that puts an emphasis on family, friends, rest, and relaxation—and raising chickens. “Diet alone is not going to save you,” she writes.
But this book might. Sign me up. -- Rene Lynch,, Los Angeles Times
