The short version: If you're looking to expand your repertoire of interesting, delicious breakfast and lunch options beyond bacon and eggs and are comfortable spending a reasonable (not excessive!) amount of time preparing your food, you'll love this book. Don't hesitate!
The longer version:
Originally, I purchased the book just to support Diana. I was unsure if there was room in the market for such a niche book and wondered if I'd use it very much if at all. I've no problem eating dinner for breakfast and generally do. My mess of cookbooks generally provide plenty of options to keep us well fed with leftovers from dinner.
However, when I finally had a chance to flip through the pages of this perfectly-sized, lie-flat volume, right away I knew that not only would I regularly be using this book, but also that ANYONE looking for healthier, whole foods options would enjoy it as well.
Not only is this a great book for paleo foodie looking for breakfast and lunch (and dinner!) options, but I think this is a great book for foodies who are getting bored and need to inject some new ideas into breakfast and lunch. While there are some super quick ideas, many of the items do take some (generally minimal) prep time; it's reasonable for someone who knows their way around the kitchen.
Trying to increase your produce intake? Here you go!

Just need some REAL FOOD? Voila!
Chapter 1 is quick wraps. I was surprised to see so many creative, tasty ideas throughout the 25 pages of the book dedicated to *quick* lettuce wraps. They all look amazing and contain combos I've never thought to put together like orange/avocado/herb chicken, lemon/chive/beet/boiled egg/, and some super creative spins on chicken salad. I thought I'd eaten every lettuce wrap combo known to humankind. Diana clarified that there are many delicious options still available.
Next up: Cook-and-Run Paleo Wraps--wraps that require a little more prep like Cinnamon Beef in a Sweet Potato Pocket or Cajun Fish Po' Boy Wraps or Lamb Dosa Purses with Coconut Creme or Pulled Pork with Sauerkraut and Avocado and many, many more.
Chapter 3 is salads. Chapter 4 is Office-Ready Soups and Stews. Up today: brazilian seafood stew.
Chapter 5 is Busy Morning Breakfasts. Full of the make-ahead-then-reheat options. Though really, anything in the book could be made ahead and consumed. Cherry tarragon breakfast sausage? OMG. Bacon, lemon and greens egg muffins. I miss them and look forward to the day when I can freely eat egg whites.
Other notes:
Though I am currently following the autoimmune protocol (AIP, which excludes egg whites, nuts, seeds, included seed spices, nightshades), there are lots of recipes in Diana's book that I can use as is. Almost all of the remaining recipes can be adapted. How wonderful that so many of the recipes are free of eggs and nuts! Because Diana tends to focus equally on a variety of protein sources, this book really does offer new, interesting, yummy ideas for breakfast beyond eggs.
If you're a foodie who doesn't mind a reasonable amount of prep time to make delicious food, and if you're comfortable with the idea of moving beyond traditional breakfast foods and will consider eating for breakfast from the wide variety of available options, then this is a GREAT book.
