We got our hands on a copy of Nom Nom Paleo food for humans cookbook and we will say this… Oh. My. Food. One quick flick through this cookbook got us drooling and ready to get cooking. Here’s our 5 reasons why we love the Nom Nom Paleo food for humans cookbook.
You can get a hands on your copy here!
- The pictures! Cookbooks need good food pictures and this book is stacked full of them. It’s one of those books that you can keep looking through again and again.
- Easy to understand. The steps are easy to follow and there are even step by step pictures.
- It’s fun. Just like the Nom Nom Paleo blog, the cookbook is quirky and fun, guaranteed to make you smile.
- Variety! The book is broken up into chapters like nibbles, salads and soups, eggs, plants, seafood, poultry, meat and treats.
- It’s got a nice hard cover. When we get published we want a cover just like the Nom Nom Paleo: food for humans cookbook!
There’s over 100 recipes in the cookbook. So far we’ve tried the sweet potato hash, bacon sammies and big-o bacon burgers. We’ve included our take on the big-o bacon burgers. The only difference in our recipe is the type of mushroom and the fact that we didn’t cook the mushrooms first… this was probably a really important step BUT we like to keep it super simple and we think they turned out perfect. The burgers are like finger licking kinda good… you just must try them! YUM… bacony burgers.
Always merrymaking

- stuff you need...
- 500g beef mince
- 300g button mushrooms
- 3 rashers of bacon
- salt and pepper
- 1 tbs. coconut oil
- plus your desired burger fillings
- now what...
- In a food processor (we use our Vitamix) whiz the button mushrooms until pureed (we've never pureed mushrooms before so this was something new and different!) pour this into a large mixing bowl.
- Now mince the bacon rashers in the food processor (we thought this was weird too but trust us and just do it, when you taste the burgers you will thank us!).
- Add the bacon mince and beef mince to the mushroom puree.
- Mix until well combined then season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the mix into 6-8 patties, depending on how large you want them.
- Then, in a large fry pan, melt the coconut oil.
- Place the patties on to the fry pan and cook for around 8 minutes.
- Flip very carefully and cook for a further 7 minutes or until cooked through.
- Serve with your desired burger fillings and enjoy... nom nom nom! We told you they were finger licking good!
