Even more than the recipes, what makes this book so special are the stories. The front of the book is filled with a collage of images and stories from the individuals and families whose recipes are included, creating a powerful sense of community and a strong bond between the reader and the food. By incorporating narratives and photos from readers, the Paleo Magazine Readers' Favorites Cookbook strives to bring a sense of fellowship to the Paleo community, and with it, a vivid appreciation for the enormous variety of colors, textures, and flavors of the real food available to us as well as give a hat tip to the diverse individuals who make up this amazingly supportive community.
