Publisher's Synopsis

Cookbook author and food blogger Cindy Barbieri discovered that she didn't have to reject her love of authentic Italian food when she decided to follow the Paleo approach to family dining. To her delight, she found her Nana's recipes, except for the pasta and Italian bread, were already healthy Paleo diet without even knowing it and those that were not inherently Paleo were easily converted with a few simple and healthy alterations-all without sacrificing the delicious flavors that she fell in love with as a child. Cindy's husband and kids enthusiastically embraced her nutritious and gluten-free Italian soups, salads, appetizers, entrees, sides and desserts-and your family will too!
