Virtual event with Ronny Joseph Lvovski/Primal Gourmet Cookbook

Ronny Joseph Lvovski struggled with a lifetime of obesity, failed diets, and low self-esteem before discovering the paleo diet. Once he eliminated grains and dairy from his diet, his allergies, asthma, upset stomachs, headaches, back pain, lethargy, excess weight, and cravings disappeared. After losing 40 pounds, Ronny set out to create gourmet-quality meals that followed paleo guidelines and left him feeling satisfied. He shared those recipes on his Primal Gourmet blog and became one of the most popular contributors to the @whole30recipes Instagram account. Primal Gourmet, Ronny’s first cookbook, is fully endorsed by Whole30 and includes a foreword by Whole30 cocreator Melissa Urban. The cookbook includes more than 120 recipes, with blog fan-favorites plus all-new dishes such as Mojo Loco Chicken Wings, Short Rib Ragu, Jerk Ribs, and Moroccan Lamb Stew, proving healthy diets really can be delicious.
