Making meals for a family of 4 different diets? We’ve got you covered.

There’s a question we get at Primal Kitchen a lot: how do I make meals work for my whole family? At any given dinner table, you might find a carnivore, a vegan, someone following a paleo diet, and a picky eater sitting down to break (grain-free) bread together. For the at-home chefs, this poses a particularly challenging problem: what do I make?

Finding dishes that serve a host of eating plans cuts down on kitchen time, and can lower food waste and costs. We broke down some of our most-loved recipes and family meal ideas to turn your next gathering or dinner party into a delicious success of diverse tastes.
