Hello all you primitive hunter gatherers. On this website, you will find all sorts of different recipes, experiments, amazing culinary (accidental) discoveries, and the odd disastrous flop.
I must first tell you, I have no professional culinary training. I do love to cook though. I have worked the front of the house in small, fine restaurants for 15 years, so have learned a lot from different chefs, through different styles of cooking. I have lived with Italians, who have shared with me the simplicity of mama's way of good home cooking, and my Indian mother in law has taken me under her wing for many years, putting together previously-unheard-of combinations of spices, vegetables and meats which turn into amazing, flavourful dishes.
While these are some of the best cuisines in the world, they are also laden with vegetable oil, flour, legumes, and enough complex carbs to make any hunter gatherer forget how to widdle a spear. And let's not forget how much butter a restaurant will go through in a day. Trust me. If it only tastes "ok", just sautée it in some butter, then it will be delicious. It really is like cheating.
So, being a hunter gatherer, I have taken all this experience, and adapted it to fit to the paleo guidelines, and, with a little creativity, there's nothing that can't be replicated. I constantly receive inquiries from other members of the Crossfit gyms here in the Cayman Islands about how I make the dishes I have at the gym with me for a post-workout meal.
Sure Paleo recipe books exist, but their instructions and recipes are always so complicated. (Obviously the authors never had any training from an old Italian lady.) And likelihood is, you really don't like to spend that much time in the kitchen; you'd rather do your WOD, then flop onto the couch to nurse your aching body before continuing on with your day. These videos won't only show you what to cook, but how to do it simply and quickly, brought to you from my own tiny kitchen. The RODs will be whatever I am cooking on that particular day for my and my wife's breakfast, lunch or dinner. Hopefully you'll be able to get something out of it as well...maybe this will be the last time you eat a plain chicken breast with steamed frozen vegetables!
