Slim and Fit with Factor 5 (book)

Contents: After a long day at work, it’s nice to treat yourself to a fresh, warm meal. But it should be quick and easy to prepare. For people who, for health reasons, have to pay close attention to the ingredients in their food, this is usually a time-consuming task. With conventional recipes, it is often necessary to swap certain foods for others that are suitable, which is tedious and alters the flavour. This fully illustrated cookery book shows you how to prepare delicious meals quickly and easily – meals that are free from grains and gluten, and often dairy-free too, making them suitable for a paleo or Stone Age diet. Weekly meal plans and shopping lists, recipe overviews specifying preparation times as well as the presence of eggs, dairy products, nuts or nightshades, and recipe ideas for using up leftovers make cooking according to the Paleo method easier than ever before. What’s more, bestselling author and food blogger Danielle Walker shares personal anecdotes and offers tips for a perfectly organised kitchen.
