Liver?

Sidebar: I've had great results making "rice" out of cauliflower minced in the food processor. There's a delicious recipe in Well Fed.

I've read about doing this, my current favorite Paleo cookbook (Practical Paleo) makes good use of cauliflower rice in certain recipes. I've a food processor I've never used...

Do you like Practical Paleo? I'm feeling the need to buy another paleo cookbook for new ideas. I'd also like to have a paleo slow cooker cookbook. Anyone have any favorites?

It's the only paleo cookbook I currently have, and I like it quite a lot. The first half of the book is filled with good reference materials, the second half with a nice selection of recipes. Amazon.com has it for the best price. The authors are nutritionists with quite a lot of experience in presenting information to a non-scientific audience.

I would also like to get a good paleo slow cooker cookbook, so let me know what you decide upon and how you like it. I am currently getting some good ideas from MDA, but it would be good to have a good cookbook.

Just put Practical Paleo on hold at the library

As for slow cooking, I think I'm going to try this e-book, since it's only 99 cents.

It is interesting they had to mention "gluten free" in the title - perhaps for those who don't know what Paleo is? Probably. The note about "quick bread" recipes had me scratching my head though. It may referring to fat bread however, perhaps that can be cooked in a slow-cooker? I will be curious to hear what you think about it.

I found this site with paleo slow cooker recipes. Quite a few recipes here from a Pininterest page. I've not tried any of these as of yet, but I plan on it.

My favorite paleo cookbook is Well Fed, but I do like Everyday Paleo (not *just* a cookbook but the recipes have all turned out way better than I expected!) and Paleo Comfort Foods. I've pre-ordered the paleo slow cooker book but Melissa Joulwan (author of Well Fed) is doing another cookbook and I believe she mentioned some slow cooker recipes which I'll be thrilled to see.

I've heard great things about NomNomPaleo's Ipad app for recipes, but I don't have an ipad so I haven't tried it myself.

I read somewhere that liver and bacon are two of the worst meats to eat from unknown sources because they both 'concentrate' the foreign substances (like antibiotics, hormones and other toxins). Honestly, the more I read about this stuff, the more I commit to buying the best things we can afford. We have learned where we can cut corners and where we cannot. In fact, I got my liver for free from my farmer because no one else wants it! Talk about a bargain!! Humanely raised, grass-fed, antibiotic free beef liver from a local farmer....free. You can't beat that deal with a stick!

I love NomNomPaleo's blog, she puts SUCH good things out there I've heard that both Well Fed and Everyday Paleo are quite good...I have to be good on not buying every cookbook out there. I am pretty good at experimenting, and there are a lot of really good paleo/primal websites and blogs with good recipes. Practical Paleo is also not "just" a cookbook - which is why I bought it after checking out the library's copy.

What is your favorite liver recipe? I think I will try making a small amount of pate, and then a "mess" of liver, onion and, of course, bacon I've read the caramelized onion really helps with the taste.
