ADDING FLAVOR TO YOUR MEALS HAS NEVER BEEN THAT FUN!
ABOUT THE COOKBOOK
Are you ready to go beyond the typical stereotype that ice creams, sorbets and frozen yogurts are supposed to be enjoyed as desserts only? Would you like to try something new and incorporate frozen “ice cream” dressings into your salads and other meals for a boost of flavor? If that’s the case, then Zesty Scoop may hold the answer for you!
Zesty Scoop cookbook is about alternative approaches to enjoy ice creams, sorbets and frozen yogurts. It’s a collection of frozen ice cream dressings and desserts to “zest up” paleo and AIP meals! Your palates will be pleasantly surprised by fireworks of flavors, offered by frozen dressings!
What will you find in this book? Zesty Scoop cookbook consists of around 40 recipes, divided into three chapters: the basics, savory scoops and sweet scoops, with suggestions how to incorporate ices into your meals.The majority of recipes can be utilized as frozen dressings. There is also a number of savory and sweet scoops that can be enjoyed as desserts. During creation of my recipes I was focused on making them as nutrient dense as possible, by adding herbs, spices, healthy fats and even animal proteins (to some of the recipes). Of course, citrus zest is one of the main flavorings that I’ve used!
- A few facts about how the paleo movement has started;
- Brief introduction to the paleo autoimmune protocol (aka AIP) with foods to eat, foods to avoid and reintroduction phase;
- Link between intestinal permeability and autoimmunity;
- A word of caution about possible interactions of grapefruit and some other citruses with certain medications;

Some of my favorites you’ll find in this book are:

- Pesto Frozen Yogurt (with my easy technique to convert sauces into frozen yogurts);
- Liver Pâté Ice Cream (just add salad and carbs and you’ll have a complete meal!);

- Orange Beet Sorbet (tastes amazingly in salads!);
- And many more!
