Take a moment to read our introductory blog post first.

Now that you’re fully acquainted with the excitement surrounding Ready or Not!, let’s explore what makes this paleo cookbook an essential addition to every kitchen aiming for healthy, delicious, and stress-free meals. We promise it will revolutionize your approach to cooking and eating.
For years, as loyal followers of Nom Nom Paleo, affectionately known as ‘Nomsters,’ you’ve witnessed Henry and I dedicate ourselves to making healthy, delicious home cooking a truly effortless experience. With Ready or Not!, our goal was clear: to create a comprehensive healthy recipe book that adapts to your life, not the other way around. Whether you’re a meticulous meal planner who loves to prep ahead, or someone who often finds themselves improvising a last-minute dinner, this book has you covered. We’ve thoughtfully categorized recipes into ‘Make-Ahead,’ ‘Make-Over,’ and ‘Make-Now’ options, ensuring that no matter your schedule or culinary skill level, a nourishing meal is always within reach. Imagine stress-free weeknights and impressive weekend feasts, all achievable with wholesome, real food ingredients that are simple to prepare.
What truly sets Ready or Not! apart is its holistic approach to healthy eating. It’s not just a collection of recipes; it’s a complete culinary guide designed to empower you in the kitchen. Beyond the array of amazing new dishes, you’ll discover the signature Nom Nom Paleo style: witty, “cheeky writing” that entertains as it educates, vibrant “colorful cartoons” that make even complex techniques approachable, and invaluable practical resources. Dive into essential kitchen tool and ingredient guides that demystify unfamiliar items, explore expertly crafted weekly dinner plans that take the guesswork out of meal prep, and utilize convenient shopping lists designed to streamline your grocery trips. This book is truly “jam-packed” with everything you need to succeed in your healthy cooking journey, making meal planning simpler than ever.
We’ve included some of my absolute favorite new recipes that I’ve been bursting to share with you. Get ready to savor dishes like the incredibly flavorful Mok Mok Wings, the vibrant and refreshing Chicken + Shrimp Laap, the comforting and rich Sunday Gravy, the unexpectedly delicious XO Pork with Blistered Green Beans, and the decadent yet wholesome Rustic Chocolate Cake. Each recipe has been rigorously tested and perfected over countless hours, ensuring foolproof results every time you step into the kitchen. This culinary journey has been a true labor of love, spanning over three years of meticulous development, testing, and editing. We poured our hearts into “painstakingly crafting every square inch” of its 352 pages, striving for perfection in every detail, from the ingredient measurements to the beautiful photography and helpful tips, to deliver the ultimate paleo recipe book.
The excitement surrounding Ready or Not! has been palpable, especially from those who received advance copies. Witnessing their enthusiastic reactions and hearing their glowing feedback has been immensely gratifying and truly reaffirmed our dedication. It’s moments like these that make all the hard work worthwhile, knowing that our creation is already inspiring and delighting home cooks around the world, helping them embrace the benefits of healthy home cooking.
Henry and I often joke that, with the sole exception of our two incredible children, this cookbook stands as the single greatest thing we’ve ever created. This isn’t just hyperbole; it’s a testament to the profound passion, countless hours, and unwavering commitment we invested. It represents our collective vision to empower you with the tools and inspiration to transform your cooking habits and embrace a healthier, more flavorful lifestyle. We genuinely believe it will become an indispensable companion in your kitchen, simplifying your meals and expanding your culinary repertoire.
