Holy ‘Moly (Easy Guacamole)
Holy moly—I love guacamole. I routinely put my husband in charge of whipping up this green goodness because his version is my favorite by far: it’s the perfect mix of chunky and creamy, savory and spicy. Henry uses just a few ingredients, so it’s always a breeze to make a batch to accompany our meats and vegetables.
Makes 4 servings
Hands-on time: 15 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
DO THIS:
In a small bowl, combine the shallot, lime juice, and salt. Leave the mixture alone for about 10 minutes so the acid can take some of the bite off the shallot.
Mash half of the avocado flesh in a bowl with a fork. Add the shallot mixture to the mashed avocado and stir to combine.
Cube the remaining half of the avocado into ¾-inch pieces and add it to the mixture in the bowl. Gently incorporate the mashed avocado and the cubed avocado.
As a finishing touch, add pepper (and, if desired, some chile powder) to taste. Eat immediately.
From Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans by Michelle Tam and Henry Fong / Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC 2014.
- 1 small shallot, minced
- Juice from 1 small lime

We all know some so and so idiotic chef who spoiled the word paleo for most. This is not that chef. This is a genuine tried and tested cook book that’s got some great recipie if your on a paleo preference diet.
This is a true labour of love infused with humour, common sense and a commitment to make paleo cooking something that everyone can do. I've only just downloaded it after months of waiting and it's been worth the wait.
All busy families can access these great ideas and tips and know that they are putting great food on the table, even if they work nights or in busy law practices like Michelle and Henry.

This book is making sticking to a paleo way of eating a real pleasure, not a chore. So far, I have made only a few recipes, but they have all been a huge hit in my house. So far I am most pleased with the condiments section, as that was one thing I really missed in the past going paleo. The mushroom salt is excellent on roast veggies, and the mayo is really easy to make with a few tweaks (hello vitamix!). I plan on trying at least one new recipe per week, and I expect I will get through this book in record speed.

Michelle Tam is an excellent teacher. When I began eating paleo two years ago, Michelle Tam's website was the one I found most appealing. I had never really cooked before -- instead I foraged for pre-made food at grocery stores -- and some of the recipes looked beyond my skill level. But Michelle broke down every single step into an easy-to-follow process and 100% of the time, the resulting food tasted amazing. I cannot say the same about recipes I found on other paleo recipe websites. Because of how Michelle teaches her readers what to do in the kitchen, I now prepare delicious meals for my family and never buy pre-made food. The photos in Food for Humans are gorgeous and make every step of the cooking process clear. For those of us who are still learning to cook, the photos of each step are more instructional than a photo of the final product.
Now to the recipes. The kalua pork is a staple in our house and the flavor is out of this world. Fiona's grilled green chicken is delicious, the pork-tastic meatloaf is substantial and delicious, and the stew is next on my list to make. The mayo recipe and variations are wonderful. I could go on and on, but I know that every recipe is going to be terrific. As a parent, the section on paleo lunches is much appreciated.
If you are looking for a cookbook that not only gives you recipes bursting with flavor but also teaches you how to prepare food for yourself and your family, this is the book to buy. It is amazing. And funny.
