Russ Crandall is the talented home chef behind The Domestic Man, a Paleo-friendly food blog focused on traditional, international, and classic dishes. In his 20s he suffered a number of life-threatening illnesses, was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition–and sent home with a lifetime’s worth of medications. Disenchanted with modern medicine, Russ started searching for his own answers and quickly discovered that eating a gluten-free, nutrient-rich diet alleviated most of the medical issues that had plagued him for years. He started blogging about his lifestyle in 2010, and has been featured in People Magazine, Food & Wine, and was nominated by Saveur Magazine as one of the Top Food Blogs of 2013. He released his debut cookbook, The Ancestral Table: Traditional Recipes for a Paleo Lifestyle, through Victory Belt Publishing in February 2014.
