If you're going to follow in my footsteps and eat 12 servings of anything, this is the soup to do it with. Some might say 1 serving is enough, but once you try this, I can't guarantee that you won't want to eat 11 more. This soup starts off with some caramelized butternut squash and onions. Combined with celery, carrot and broth, it makes a creamy, savory soup. Cooking options include the stove (if you want) or a slow cooker (my preference) for this easy soup.

Once you get started with Paleo pasta substitutes you soon discover that there are a whole host of recipes that you can try out; from simple courgetti with pesto to the classic clam vongole you can recreate all your favourite pasta recipes but without the dreaded after meal bloat. Now doesn’t that sound good? Whilst courgetti is the most commonly used pasta substitute there is no need to stop there. Sweet potato and carrots are also popular options and of course, as provided in this recipe, you can use butternut squash. This is one of my personal favourites and it has a lot to bring in terms of flavour and texture and is a perfect fit for this recipe. I have always been a fan of rich sauces and spaghetti carbonara was a favoruite of mine at university. It is always something that comes to mind when I think of comfort food and I just had to see if I could create a Paleo friendly version that was worthy of the carbonara title. I have to say I am pretty pleased with the results. The combination of egg yolks with the cashew cream works perfectly in creating the traditional flavours of the carbonara sauce. The saltiness of the bacon combined with the sweet and crunchy butternut squash spaghetti is a delight and the hints of garlic bring it all together nicely. For me, this is ideal bowl food to be eaten when relaxing after a long day at work or a hard session at the gym. You can even take the leftover to work for lunch the next day.

Omelette seems to be the ubiquitous breakfast of choice for Paleo followers which is not surprising as there are endless combinations to try and it is quick and simple to cook; even for those who have limited kitchen skills an omelette is the perfect breakfast to master. Although an omelette can be whipped up quickly we all have those days when we just need to be out the door five minutes ago. It is on these busy mornings that it can be difficult to find time to eat a healthy and nutritious Paleo breakfast. This is when you need to plan ahead and get prepared the night before. This might sound like a lot of effort but it is much simpler than you think. This recipe provides a delicious Omelette Breakfast Roll that you can eat on the go or take to work and have at your desk.

This Paleo custard is ridiculously close to the real thing; apart from the fact that nobody really seems to make proper custard anymore. Only a few tweaks were needed to make it Paleo; swapping milk for a non-dairy nut milk and using coconut palm sugar in a reduced amount. Chefs and bakers will add a little cornflour to their custards in order to keep it stable so I used a tsp of tapioca flour just in case. Served with my Paleo Apple Crumble, this is a divine winters evening treat. Curl up in front of the fire and take a well deserved break.

Paleo cracker recipes have long been a mainstay of my snacking repertoire and make a nice alternative to vegetable crudites. They are also easy to transport so you can take them with you to work and are perfect with a bit of dip when you need a boost inbetween meals. The dip in this recipe is a delicious roasted red pepper and olive tapenade. This could not be simpler to make and just involves putting the ingredients into a blender. The combination of peppers, olives, capers and anchovies gives a lovely sweet and salty combination that I find moreish and addictive.

Curry is kind of a new (ish) thing for me and I absolutely love the flavor that curry can bring to a dish. I have found that I draw toward the red curry more than any of the others. I think it’s the lemongrass and chili flavor I love so much in it. I have been playing around with a classic thai curry soup recipe lately and haven’t quite mastered it yet. I did however, come up with a whole different twist on that soup which is this recipe. I was blown away at how good this was and how much the curry flavor complemented the carrots. I didn’t make this recipe overly spicy so if you want more spice feel free to increase red curry amount and try to not eat the whole pot in one sitting.

Soup has to be one of my favourite dishes. It is the ultimate in one pot cooking and you can create such a variety of flavours that it really lends itself to experimenting with ingredients. Whilst some only consider soup to be a winter dish I enjoy it all year round from hearty soups in winter to hot and sour Thai soups in Summer, I always think that there is a soup for every season. For this recipe I have created a creamy and soothing soup packed full of flavour with a delicious pesto dressing to add texture and crunch. It is perfect for January, being light and delicate and will be gentle on the stomach after the over indulgences of the Christmas season. When it comes to soup what we really want is something simple, creamy and comforting. Cauliflower is often overlooked as a standalone ingredient but its soft pale countenance translates into a gentle soup perfectly. Don’t overcook it; you want it soft enough to puree but if you leave it cooking for too long the flavour will become stewed. I have served it with a simple hazelnut and mint pesto type swirl that goes beautifully with the cauliflower, but you could just as easily miss this out if you prefer. Almond milk gives a lovely creamy aspect, but you could use chicken stock for a more savoury rounded flavour.

One of the things that people find hardest to give up when starting out on a Paleo lifestyle is bread. Often this is due to the fact that it is just so convenient. Until you start to remove it from your diet you might not notice just how often you include bread products in your daily food intake and it can feel like you will never be able to replace it. If you are just starting out then I can assure you that in a few weeks time you will be so busy enjoying nutritious and delicious Paleo recipes that you wont miss having bread in your diet. In fact, you will most likely realise just how bloated and sluggish it made you feel. There will however still be times when you do fancy a piece of bread or come across a recipe or a favourite dish that you might want to replicate every now and then. For these purposes having a good Paleo bread recipe up your sleeve can be invaluable. Made with nutritious and whole ingredients, this recipe will make you realise just how stodgy and tasteless the mass produced bread you used to consume actually is. In this recipe I have used chestnut flour for its sweet flavour and gentle softness. The bread does contain eggs, but not the huge amount of nuts that so many Paleo breads seem to feature. Here, flax meal (also known as linseed in the UK) and a handful of assorted seeds are added to the flour (albeit chestnut flour so not nut free). Bicarbonate of soda is kept to a minimum so there is none of the bitter flavour that can come with soda bread, Beautifully dark in colour, a pinch of caraway would make this the perfect Paleo alternative to rye bread.

This grain free granola is a really grown up granola. Deeply dark, with almost bitter molasses tones, it is actually more of a breakfast crunch on account of the fact that it does not clump particularly well. Granola is easy to make, but can be tricky to perfect; especially without the properties of grains that make it stick together so well. My first granola recipe has been incredibly popular (included in my book Paleo: 12 Weeks to Change Your Life) and this stuck together really well, on account of the egg white added to gain adhesion, but I wanted this version to be egg free as well as grain free. It is no accident that traditional breakfast foods such as toast or cereal have been staples for so long. Crunchy, carby, and often sweet, these are the things with which we want to break our nightly fast. Not to mention the need to get up and go. Paleo granola certainly does the job of filling the need when this kind of breakfast calls. As delicious and tempting as this granola is I would not recommend that it is eaten every day. The recipe includes dried fruit so there is going to be a higher proportion of sugar (albeit natural) and along with the nuts and seeds is very nutrient dense. I would therefore recommend that you stick to solid breakfast staples, such as eggs and avocado, for the majority of the time and treat yourself to granola when the urge strikes.
