Now, as I said in my last post, I was going to do a review (of sorts) so without further ado (drum roll please.....)
I spent 4 weeks in the company of this library book - the first of which I just spent salivating over the glossy photo's. My initial reactions were that this was a great book - something to get me into the swing of being more Primal. I loved that each recipe had it's own photograph on the opposite page so you could see what the dish was supposed to look like.
From all the recipes, I made just 3 - Cave Ketchup, Sheepishly Good Meatballs & Morning Glory Muffins (twice).
In making the Sheepishly Good Meatballs, I should have first made the Tomato Sauce but instead, stupid ol' me made the Cave Ketchup instead. It involved significantly less cooking was my justification at the time & I figured I could just add to capsicums as I went along. I then made the Meatballs - which went fine until I chucked them in the oven to keep warm. The little blighters shrunk significantly on me!! of course they would - mushrooms do that after a while. My mushroom detesting kids enjoyed the meal, I had a dose of reflux so wasn't happy at all. The Morning Glory muffins, I have made twice.

They freeze well and can be re-heated a little to allow for butter too. I've had them for breakfasts, morning teas, lunches, afternoons teas and desserts! I would make them again tomorrow - but I'd have to get the book from the library again! There's a recipe in there for Coconut Flour Tortillas and a Basic Bread Loaf too so chances are, I'll get the book out again.
Would I buy it though? Not convinced yet.
There was one thing I didn't particularly like about this book however - no serving sizes. I searched high & low, reading the introductory pages over & over trying to find something I had overlooked, but I couldn't find anything suggesting how many serves a particular recipe might make.

I have not forgotten the recipe that I wanted to share either. It's not my recipe though and should be just a treat and probably not an everyday treat either! I stumbled across this recipe for Primal Fudge one day on my amble through Pinterest (very addictive, do not go there). The resulting little morsels are rather addictive too, so maybe don't make them for yourself either - but you are more than welcome to make them for ME!! (pffft).
I make these in an icecube tray and get more like 16-18 serves & store them in the freezer - in this heat, they soften easily.

And after all that, I wonder why I'm gaining weight?
