Against All Grain 3D book

With recipes that make cooking for the grain-free family both easy and enjoyable, Meals Made Simple answers the age-old question: “What’s for dinner?” Danielle Walker takes the guesswork out of meal planning with eight weeks’ worth of dinner ideas, complete with full shopping lists and recipes for using up leftovers.

As in her critically acclaimed first cookbook, Against All Grain, Danielle offers special “tidbits” to help ensure that your meals turn out picture-perfect. The vibrant flavors and colors in these grain-free dishes, like slow-cooked Pork Ragu, Beef Stroganoff, Peruvian-Style Chicken, Chicken and Rice Casserole, and Barbecue Salmon with Peach Salsa, add delight to any meal and put an end to all those nights of mundane grilled chicken and steamed vegetables. Even the desserts are quick to make, should a craving or a last-minute celebration arise.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Meals Made Simple brings culinary excitement to the health enhancing world of low-carb and gluten-free. For anyone who embraces the notion that food matters in terms of health and longevity, this book is a treasure. -- David Perlmutter MD, - Author, #1 New York Times Bestseller: ― Grain Brain, The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar - Your Brain's Silent Killers

Some of her popularity might have to do with her easy-to-follow and relatable approach—and the fact that her dairy-free, gluten-free, and Paleo recipes appeal to so many different types of people and dietary concerns... -- Molly Gallagher, ― Well+Good

Beautifully presented and clearly explained, Meals Made Simple is a delight for Paleo newbies and longterm Paleo-ites alike. The recipes are straightforward and easy to follow, and I like that there are often tips for using leftovers from other recipes in the book. While many cookbooks leave a trail of half-used jars of obscure ingredients scattered across your kitchen, Danielle actually makes it seem easy to stock your kitchen with versatile Paleo staples, all of which can be used in countless ways.... ― The Kitchn

What’s healthy, uncomplicated and definitely not boring? Well, practically any of self-trained chef Danielle Walker’s recipes in her newest cookbook, Meals Made Simple. In fact, all of the Against All Grain blogger’s meals are gluten and dairy-free — meaning you can finally enjoy dinner without feeling too bad about going for that second helping of dessert. -- Rachel Sylvester ― The Nest

Danielle Walker’s first book --was (and still is) a gangbuster hit, so trust me when I tell you that her second book, Against All Grain: Meals Made Simple, is just as exciting and eye-opening when it comes to eating a gluten free and/or paleo diet. I was looking to try out a recipe or two from the book but while reading it everything looked so amazing I ended up putting tabs on more than half of the pages. ― Weelicious

Danielle Walker, whose cookbook "Against All Grain" made her a celebrity with the paleo diet and gluten-free crowd, offers conscientious recipes for celebrations and holidays in her new cookbook, "Meals Made Simple." (How conscientious? Her pumpkin spice latte includes real pumpkin.) ― Denver Post

After her debut paleo recipe title Against All Grain soared to the New York Times Bestseller list in 2013, she nails it again with inspiring, beautifully photographed recipes that sound incredible—and are all made sans dairy or grains. This time around, you also get 8 weeks of meal plans and shopping lists. ― Self Magazine

About the Author

Food blogger and author of the New York Times bestselling cookbook, Against All Grain (www.againstallgrain.com), Danielle Walker, is the new face of grain-free cooking. A self-trained chef, Danielle tempts a range of appetites with her innovative, accessible Paleo-influenced recipes that are not only healthy and delicious, but are also credited for saving her life.

Paying homage to the dishes she loved from her pre-Paleo days, she imaginatively re-creates all of her favorites without grains, gluten, and, most times, dairy.

A Diagnosis and Decision
For months, Danielle suffered from drastic weight loss, joint pain, and malnutrition. After countless doctor visits, she was diagnosed with a severe form of ulcerative colitis at age 22, just two months after getting married. Despite her expansive array of medications and prednisone steroids, Danielle found herself hospitalized numerous times each year, admitted repeatedly for multiple blood transfusions due to morbidly low hemoglobin levels. Left with a choice between surgery or a life-long weekly treatment with harsh side effects, Danielle began her own research to explore other options. A friend’s success on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) led Danielle to give it a try, only eating grain-free, sugar-free, starch-free, and unprocessed foods. Although no doctor would support a dietary change as a part of her treatment, Danielle realized that she could take things into her own hands to achieve real results.

Cooking by Necessity
Danielle noticed improvement, but committing to a new, drastically different diet was not easy. When her son was just nine months old, she had an extreme setback thatcaused her to be hospitalized yet again and required multiple blood transfusions. She began eliminating more food groups, including grains, lactose, and legumes, following a plan that closely mimicked the Paleo diet. Seeing drastic progress after just forty-eight hours, Danielle began dedicating her free time to creating delicious comfort foods that could be enjoyed on a restricted diet. She focuses on flavors and textures, refusing to feel deprived despite her limited food choices.

Sharing her Success
Danielle started her blog, Against All Grain, to help others suffering from similar ailments continue to enjoy food. Her recipes are all entirely grain-free, and consequently gluten-free, free of refined sugars, and minimal to no dairy. Most are appropriate for those following the Paleo, Primal, SCD, GAPS, and gluten-free lifestyles. With her acquired culinary skills, love for food, and an equal love for journalism, she has become a source of hope for others suffering from similar allergies and autoimmune diseases. Coveting a large, but loyal following on her blog, Danielle expanded beyond the internet and released her first cookbook, Against All Grain: Delectable Paleo Recipes to Eat Well & Feel Great, in July 2013. With a large social media and blog following, Danielle has become a beacon of hope in the food community. Danielle lives in San Francisco with her husband and son.

Amazing content but binding is weak and breaks easily
I absolutely love this cookbook! It has changed my life! We have been following the Wheat Belly blog/protocol for a little over a year now but it wasn't until I got this book for Christmas that I really started to enjoy cooking again and feeling like I could master all these grain-free (complicated) recipes. Plus, the flavor of the meals is unbelievable-we don't feel like we are eating restricted at all. Every meal I've made is a home run for the whole family. Hallelujah!My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that the quality of the actual book kinda stinks. The binding has completely split and pages are already falling out. I've never bent it backwards or anything harsh, just day to day wear and tear (told you we love it) so that's kinda disappointing and a real inconvenience but doesn't take away how awesome she is at grain free kitchen life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Whole-Food Basics and Inspiration
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2014

First, let me give some context for this review: I eliminated processed food from my diet decades ago. I have been cooking longer than that--I am by no means a gourmet cook, but I'm reasonably competent at turning out a decent meal. I am very picky about books and don't often buy cookbooks because ime they rarely add anything to my knowledge base and the references already on my shelf. I only recently discovered Paleo and while I am entirely on board with the elimination of processed foods and sugar and understand the many benefits of eliminating grains, I am not at all a "strict" Paleo follower and some of the arguments about why people should eat this way are not well founded imho. Also, for many years of my life I was a vegetarian and so cooking meat, especially red meat, is relatively new to me.

With all that out of the way, I can state that I am very happy to have this book as a part of my cooking library. I've had the book about a week and have already made three recipes: the mexican chicken soup, the pulled pork, and the breakfast biscuits. The soup and pork turned out delicious and got raves from my BF, who devoured them. I did not share the biscuits with him :) they are very good though very rich--which is also good, because one doesn't need to eat a lot of them. Though I don't often turn to recipes for things like salad dressing, I find the basics in the back of the book very helpful and inspiration for creating my own spice rubs, barbecue sauce, and so on. For a long time my diet was based around my (very good, if I do say so myself) homemade bread and other baked goods, so cooking without grains is a big change for me. Danielle makes it easy and inspiring. I agree that in general her first cookbook is more innovative, but given that the title states that the emphasis here is "Simple", that's not surprising.

Highlights for me:
--The tidbits add a lot in terms of understanding recipe variations and techniques (eg, the quickest way to poach chicken for chicken salad)
--Throughout there are make-ahead suggestions, extremely valuable for busy people!
--I really appreciate the guidelines on how long things can be stored.
--I love the emphasis on cooking once for several meals. I try to think like this anyway, but sometimes having a guide is quite useful
--Though I am unlikely to use the meal plans as written, they are immensely valuable to me in seeing what a couple of months of paleo eating could look like.
--I don't have a slow cooker but I've recently started making the slow cooker recipes with a dutch oven in my oven. Put the pork in last night when I went to bed, woke up to delicious smells!
--Since I have family members with various allergies, I appreciate the icons for nut-free, dairy-free, etc, even though my diet is not that restrictive.

If you've been cooking meat your whole life you probably don't need this book. If you are an expert at cooking ahead and re-using leftovers, you may not find much new here. If you've been eating Paleo for a long time, there might not be anything in this book you haven't encountered already. But if you are new to any of these things, you will learn from this book. I'm very happy I bought it and it will soon be one of the most-used books in my kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Let's see how simple we can make this!
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2014
Verified Purchase
The intended audience for the book is those who need help in planning and executing meals for the long run. I would fit into that category and am so grateful to have it thought out for me. I am not an organizer or a good cook. Cooking and planning meals overwhelms me because of all the brain work necessary. We have 3 different special diets in our house. I can juggle them all with her recipes and only have to fix one version of a meal not 3. (She provides lists for substitutions and lists for which recipes include eggs etc.) I am weary of looking up recipes on the internet and trying to make up a menu with 3 different diets! Not that I haven't tried.

So with the help of this book I have made delicious simple meals that are full of flavor and with built in ideas for the left overs. Danielle understands those of us that have low energy and need it all just made simple.

My family likes the recipes. For instance: The roast chicken is gourmet. We had it for a family gathering tonight. I use the bread recipe from her other book for sandwiches for lunch tomorrow. I have been following the week 2 menu for about 10 days now and I am able to get a meal on the table on time and everyone can eat the same food. Our son with the worst allergies frequently comments how much he likes just eating everything with everyone else. He volunteers to help me get the meals ready now! So I have simply put our whole family on the Paleo diet allergies or not to simplify my life and it is working.

This book is a game changer for our family. Plug it in and run! I love that we can all sit down together for dinner and all eat the same thing. It is simple enough I am going to give the kids each their own night to cook and have them learn how to cook for themselves too!

Update February 2015: So this was a wonderful springboard for me to figure out menus and getting the rest of the family cooking WITH me. I still use the Roast turkey for parties and family gatherings..even after a busy day I can now whip up a party quickly and my kids can also eat the food (I used to just order in Pizza to feed company now we all eat the same delicious thing.) I use her two books daily. I got them spiral bound at the printers with clear plastic covers and put stickers on the front with page numbers of my favorite recipes....the page numbers are REALLY small and the font is REALLY small for 1/2 etc measurments. I have gone in and written them bigger....on future editions perhaps those fonts could be enlarged. After 5 months it is still my basic go to....I am grateful.

March 2017. I roasted a couple of chickens today and thought of how I still use the recipes in this book..but now I have them memorized and I have used some as freezer meals etc. I was glad to see that Danielle has written another cookbook. I will order it....I need new ideas....and would love to try something new.

I’ve used this cookbook consistently for the last 7 years and its recipes are straight forward and fairly simple. Several of the recipes I have altered or further simplified without any negative feedback from the family. Some of the winners include: Mexican Chicken Soup, Chicken Waldorf Salad, Hawaiian Chicken Burgers, California Chicken Wraps, Slow Cooker Thai Beef Stew, Maple Dijon Pork Tenderloin and Creamy Dill Salmon.

If you’re just beginning to look for nutrient dense and uncomplicated healthy food, you should be able to find it here with her meal plans and other information as your starting point. Two thumbs up and a satisfied stomach!
