New York, NY (PRWEB) February 12, 2014
Lucas Root of Urban Paleo Chef today announced the release of his Top 5 “Second Date” Recipes for 2014. The debut marks the culmination of months of testing, tasting, and reworking to create the ultimate menu for a romantic home date night.
Driven by a longstanding love for cooking and dedication to healthy living, Root has been an advocate of the paleo diet since embarking on the new lifestyle with his wife in 2010. His unique, mouth-watering culinary creations serve as a testament to the sustainability of paleo, which was observed as one of the biggest diet trends of last year. Updated frequently with creative new recipes, urbanpaleochef.com is quickly becoming a go-to resource for delicious everyday food inspiration.
After closing out a successful 2013 and garnering a large online following for Urban Paleo Chef, Root began developing the full menu for his Top 5 “Second Date” meals in anticipation of the upcoming holiday.
