Contest Poll: Primal Blueprint Recipe Videos
It’s time for you to decide another winner! At the start of this 30-Day Challenge I put out a call for Primal Blueprint Recipe Videos. MDA readers got right to work. As a result, YouTube has never seen better looking food.
As you might imagine, my crew and I had a tough time narrowing the field. We lost nights of sleep, shed many tears and cursed our duty of having to eliminate so many great videos from the running. And in the end we held a blind vote. To everyone that didn’t make the cut, many thanks from myself and (yes, I’ll take the liberty) the MDA community for your contributions.
Before the vote, a recap of what’s at stake:
The Prize:
A Primal/paleo Cookbook Library consisting of The Primal Blueprint Cookbook, Primal Blueprint Quick & Easy Meals, Eat Well Feel Good, Make it Paleo, Everyday Paleo, Paleo Comfort Foods, and The Garden of Eating
Alaskan Salmon – Courtesy of Wild Pacific Salmon
Beef Jerky – Courtesy of Slant Shack Jerky
Sandbag - Thy Coach from BeAlphaStrong.com
The Primal Blueprint Platinum Package – The Platinum Package
That’s well over $600 of Primal goodies. Who receives this Primal prize package is up to you. Watch the videos below and then make your vote count. This poll will close and a winner will be announced at 9 am PST, Thursday, October 6.
UPDATE: The poll is now closed. It looks like we have a clear winner. Congratulations to Nacho for his Tuna Tataki with Gazpacho recipe video. Grok on!

These are all amazing.
Nacho is the better!!I love Nacho.I wan´t a Nacho in my life!!
I’m with you Ruth! I loved his video. Glad he won!
I vote for Chocolate Mousse! I have made one before and it turned out pretty damn awesome. I learned a lot from watching the video!
Rubio is one hilarious dude! Do you want to be my chef?!
Thanks Toad! “Non-primals” are always amazed when they eat it too. I agree with your other comment too, Nacho is awesome!:)
These all do look amazing, and I’d already bookmarked the Moroccan chicken as a future entree. I would have voted for each of them, but I finally had to choose just one!
Couldn’t go past the Chocolate Mousse, what a great way to use up the excess eggs from my backyard chickens! yumm
I’m so jealous that you can have chickens. I left my profession and went back to school for engineering full time and when I’m finished we are moving somewhere where we can have chickens and hopefully a couple cows. Can’t wait! Thanks for voting!:)
Come on Dessert!!!!
Right?! Desert…it’s not just for after dinner. It’s for breakfast!:)
I tried the Moroccan Chicken…good, but it is amazing with Lamb. And the Mousse…well what can I say…HANDS DOWN the winner, since I am a Chocolate Freak, trying to enjoy it the primal way, now I can…Best Dishes to all..good cooing
Susan, I hope the mousse satisfies the chocolate freak in you. I’m a chocolate freak myself and this definitely does the trick.;)
Hard to pick, you All did a great job! So creative! I have my menu planned out for a week.(or 4) Best of luck to you all!
Tuna Tataki with Gazpacho! Not only does the recipe look beautiful and delicious, but Nacho was really entertaining (and super hot!!). It didn’t even feel like an 11 minute video.
I ran out and got the ingredients for Nacho’s gazpacho. It was pretty good.
And maybe it’s just me, but I don’t find the dessert recipes that impressive. The fig tart was beautiful of course, and the chocolate mousse looked delicious. But I do a lot of cooking and I can tell you that making something delicious that’s NOT sweetened and full of fat requires much more imagination.
Oh my God! That Chocolate Mousse looks like it’ll hit the spot!
Thanks, it TOTALLY does.
I voted for Nacho because not only was he really funny, but the recipe looks nutritious and he used some creative ingredients (watermelon?!). I’ll give up an honorable mention to Kayla for her Moroccan Chicken.
The fig tart seemed to have too much dairy to really be primal, plus I can’t eat dairy, but really nice quality on the video.
Everybody loves chocolate, but wow, was that a lot of mousse! While I would love to try that recipe for a treat, I need recipe ideas for everyday primal eating. Plus, the presentation was kinda boring. Cooking should be entertaining! Ole!
I have to give props for teh fig tart. I know personally having a mac that the video was NOT easy to edit and finalize. I love the effort and the tart looks awesome!
Unfortunately the chicken kept true to the hardcore paleo diet and it looks AMAZINGLY GOOD. I can’t wait to try it.
Still, kudos to the tart vid and recipe in general, if I was a sweets person my vote would her fer sure
ahh typos *the *be
They all sound amazing…such a hard choice!
With all of this excellent Primal food, it is next to impossible to be “good”! I just keep eating and eating and eating…
Nacho … naturally !
Despite the fact that I am allergic to tuna and tomatoes, this was the video that not only kept me entertained, but really made me want to try the recipe.
I vote for the Chocolate Mousse. It looks easy to make & love a good tasting health dessert.
I’ve eaten the Chocolate Mousse and it is off the chain. Careful. Can be addictive.
Bryan, I heard you licked the bowl. I’m so proud.:)
I vote for Chocolate Mousse.
Tuna Tataki with Gazpacho was hands down the most entertaining, creative, and delicious recipe video; Nacho has a winning personality for this kind of thing !
I love figs! Oh, how to choose?? All the recipes look great!
Tuna tataki with Gazpacho, Nacho you are the best, wonderfull, tv machine.
Hi
I’ve gone for the Chicken recipe. I can’t wait to try it out. Very tempted to vote for the chocolate mousse a very close second for me.
Bws
Kim
I can’t believe this!
Thanks for all the votes!!! It’s 10 am here in Spain and I see you like the video!!! And you understand my English! Good for my dad and all the money he spent in teachers and English schools!
Thank you!!!
Definitly Nacho is superb.I really enjoyed his presentation, so funny and pedagogic, and the recipe looks delicious. He should be in TV. Thank you, Nacho, you have my vote!
Actually, he is.
In a spanish channel
Nacho and the tuna tataki. I love tuna and I love the way he makes me smile. Simply greatttttt
Hi guys! Vanessa from the recipe video above. Thanks all for the lovely comments. I did spend ages editing it!
For all the DAIRY-FREE people, I did include suggestions at the end of the video (4:24) for how to make it dairy-free: Just omit the mascarpone cheese, bake the figs directly in the tart with honey, cinnamon and star anise. Make the base with coconut oil instead of butter. Voila!
I tried to avoid using expensive ingredients, and having too many steps to make this an easy-to-replicate recipe.
PLEASE vote for me. I want to win those cookbooks sooo badly! Thanks a lot!
You did an amazing job editing. Looking forward to trying the recipe!
Puesta en escena impecable, Nacho nos ha convencido 100%, bien por los guiños a la cocina española!!Enhorabuena!!!
Nacho, your English is excellent! I love tunna so I’m prepeared to give it a try. Vote for you, good luck!
