The author, Ray Audette, has a very simple way of determining if the food is paleo. While we may cook the food, it needs to be edible raw.

Let me take this one step further.  I’ve always thought “edible raw” was not stringent enough — that is unless you better define "edible.”  My shoestrings are edible.  But they’re not healthy to eat.  Edible has to have a component of “causing human flourishing” if it is to be useful in the definition of paleo.

Just my two cents.
