Review: Exceeds expectations - Full disclosure: I'm friends and colleagues with Michelle Tam and Henry Fong. But this review is straight from the heart because I think their book is wonderful. Five Cool Things About Food For Humans 1. The vibrant photography and illustrations. If you’re a fan of NomNomPaleo.com, you’re familiar with the mouthwatering photography and charming comics of the family created by Henry, Michelle’s husband and creative partner. Like their app, this book is packed with glamour shots of sexy food — step-by-step process photos, full-page shots of the finished recipe, and in-between pages that grab you by the taste buds. Throughout the book, comic-style illustrations are like a Greek chorus, narrating the experience with jokes and other important info. 2. Michelle’s writing. Nom Nom is a gifted storyteller, and her ability to spin a yarn shows up not only in her excellent essays — don’t miss “I’m Michelle and I’m a foodaholic” — but in her recipe headnotes and how-to information, as well. This isn’t merely a collection of recipes; although the recipes are excellent. It’s a love letter to food and family. 3. Expert advice. A comprehensive list of kitchen tools, how to stock a paleo cook’s pantry, a primer on fats, an ode to the pressure cooker — Michelle shares how she created a paleo kitchen that works for a busy mom/pharmacist/cookbook author/dynamo. The recipes are also sprinkled with helpful tricks and cooking wisdom, including Tweak It! tips that show you how to modify the recipes. 4. Recipes for everyday and special occasions. The content of the book is broad and deep, which means there are recipes for every cooking occasion. There are “staples” that will be in your weekly cookup, like bone broth, sauces, and cauliflower rice. And then there are fun recipes — like creative deviled egg variations and a few treats for sweet endings to your meals — as well as main dish recipes for meat, seafood, poultry… soups… veggies. Everything you need is covered. 5. Family. This might be the best reason of all to buy this book: love and family. It’s evident on every page. Michelle and Henry love food, and they love their family. The best moments of my life have been enjoyed with my near and dear and something delicious on the table in front of us. This book celebrates moments like that. Recipe Test Drive I’ve made recipes from NomNomPaleo.com and the Nom Nom Paleo app plenty of times, so I knew that Michelle’s recipes are well-written, reliable, and delicious. I didn’t need to test them to be sure, but man! I wanted to. The table of contents is filled with luscious things that want to go into my belly. I picked Macadamia Nut “Ricotta” because I was curious and my husband was skeptical; Slow Cooker Korean Short Ribs because I wanted something “hands-off easy;" and Slow Cooker Kalua Pig because… pork! Macadamia Nut “Ricotta”: This was a huge hit! It’s shocking how quickly a pile of macadamia nuts can be transformed into something that is close enough to ricotta cheese to make even the Italian in me feel satisfied. I added minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and fresh basil to the “ricotta,” then served it with my Old School Italian Meat Sauce. It was like deconstructed lasagna, and it was heavenly. Slow Cooker Korean Short Ribs: Tender, flavorful, silky, and super easy to make, I can definitely see this short ribs recipe going into my regular rotation. When they came out of the slow cooker, I removed the bones and shredded the meat, then refrigerated the meat and sauce overnight. The next day, I removed the solidified fat from the surface, simmered the whole shebang, then served the meat on cauliflower rice. We happily ate leftovers for a few days on various vegetable beds. Here’s a thing I love about Michelle’s recipes: They’re excellent on their own, but they also mesh well with the things I already make on a regular basis. Her recipes inspire me and that’s the highest compliment I can give to another chef. She inspires me, and I think she’ll inspire you, too.
Review: Nom Nom Yum - I'd forgotten I'd pre-ordered this book back in August, so when it arrived it was almost like a holiday gift from desertcart (any of you remember those early days when desertcart sent out travel mugs to early adaptors?), except that I'd paid for it... It is an impressively hefty cookbook. First off, I will admit I'm not Paleo, although I do appreciate and use Paleo principles in meal planning. (I do eat dairy, some legumes, and rice in the context of Asian cooking.) Pros: the photos are nearly all extremely professional and make the food jump right off the page and onto your plate. Some you can almost smell cooking. You don't have to be Paleo or even Primal to appreciate the recipes in this book. This is a book where taste and healthy cooking reign together. Topics are well-organized: Introduction (why Paleo works; what is red-light, yellow-light, green-light foods, basic chef principles applicable to all cuisines, food and seasonings to stock, kitchen tools); building blocks (condiments, dressings, stock, and other things that are referred to a lot in the full-fledged recipes to follow); Nibbles (chips and quick finger food); Salads and Soups: Eggs; Plants; Seafood; Poultry; Meat; Treats. The authors like mushrooms. A LOT. (So do I... you can leave them out if you don't.) Mushrooms provide that savory umami to so many dishes, and I'm glad to expand my shroom repetoire, and I will make a variant of that Powdered Magic Mushroom seasoning (with less salt than she calls for, as some foods don't need added salt - even if others do). The seafood section is extensive. The treats section is not, which is a good thing. Directions are clear, and many recipes include ways to adapt to what you might have on hand. They are raising two small boys -- there are practical ideas for transitioning kids over to healthy eating; and suggestions for their lunchboxes. They note that it is a good idea to keep the kids in the loop on home made school lunches. If they have say on their choice of healthy items, this increases the chance they'll actually eat the stuff. (A lot of the dressings and such covered in this book were inspired by feeding their children -- this is a truly family-friendly cook book. I liked the personal touch, and the cartoons drawn by Melissa's husband, Henry Fong. I like Melissa Tam's honesty about failures and successes. In the hardcover, at least, this book is well-indexed. And it may be too early to tell, but the binding on this book is good when it comes to being able to open the book up and really cook from it. A big plus. AND the print size is large enough to look at from a kitchen counter distance, even for us taller and getting-older folk. Cons: (NOTE, none of these were sufficient for me to remove a star, but potential buyers might wish to know: True basics like zucchini noodles or tomato basil salad don't really need a two-page spread, even if the photos are delectable. But, they don't... I tried the poached egg suggestions. While they aesthetically look better than my usual, they're still not up to the level indicated by the photography. (But they taste good...) Some may find the number of photos of their children off-putting. They probably should have used less, but they are indeed rather adorable children. (Who will eventually, as noted in the book, be embarrassed once they turn into their teens...) Final thoughts: The book is new at my home, but so far their Citrus Vinaigrette was awesome over my arugula/red leaf lettuce/watercress/leek salad, and over their Crab Louie (I opted not to use their Remoulade dressing in favor of the viniagrette, whether or not authentic to the spirit of Crab Louie). Whole Roasted Branzini will feature at my Feast of the Seven Fishes tomorrow. I'm dying to try Korean Short Ribs, West Lake Soup, Slow Pho, Curried Cream of Broccoli Soup, and Crispy Gizzard Confit. PS: This review says it is for the Kindle Edition. I actually have the hardcover.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ *The* cookbook for new and experienced cooks
*by A***T on December 21, 2013*

Michelle Tam and Henry Fong have hit it out of the park with their cookbook, Food for Humans. Whether or not you are Paleo, this cookbook teaches you about ingredients to stock in your cabinets and refrigerator, tools to have in your kitchen, and the rationale behind using particular flavor combinations and techniques. The photos are gorgeous, the cartoons are witty, and the book's heft and high quality production (complete with a ribbon bookmark!) make reading and handling the book enjoyable. Michelle Tam is an excellent teacher. When I began eating paleo two years ago, Michelle Tam's website was the one I found most appealing. I had never really cooked before -- instead I foraged for pre-made food at grocery stores -- and some of the recipes looked beyond my skill level. But Michelle broke down every single step into an easy-to-follow process and 100% of the time, the resulting food tasted amazing. I cannot say the same about recipes I found on other paleo recipe websites. Because of how Michelle teaches her readers what to do in the kitchen, I now prepare delicious meals for my family and never buy pre-made food. The photos in Food for Humans are gorgeous and make every step of the cooking process clear. For those of us who are still learning to cook, the photos of each step are more instructional than a photo of the final product. Now to the recipes. The kalua pork is a staple in our house and the flavor is out of this world. Fiona's grilled green chicken is delicious, the pork-tastic meatloaf is substantial and delicious, and the stew is next on my list to make. The mayo recipe and variations are wonderful. I could go on and on, but I know that every recipe is going to be terrific. As a parent, the section on paleo lunches is much appreciated. If you are looking for a cookbook that not only gives you recipes bursting with flavor but also teaches you how to prepare food for yourself and your family, this is the book to buy. It is amazing. And funny.
