Based on the Paleo Diet, the recipes in this cookbook consist of lean meats, fruits, vegetables, healthy oils, nuts and seeds.Unlike other Paleo cookbooks on the market, Bowls of Love has one main distinction – it focuses on the fact that every food we eat has a story. Each meal has a memory attached to it, and every plate and bowl holds those stories.Author AliRakowski shared this concept with 44 of her friends and family, and asked them to send her bowls that spoke to them. Overwhelmed by the joy, love and bowls she received in response, she crafted a seasonal Paleo soup for each one, stringing the recipes and stories together to create dozens of dishes filled with love.About The AuthorBorn in New York, NY, 28-year-old AliRakowski has been cooking and creating recipes for nearly 20 years of her life.
