Nourishing Traditions The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats
A full-spectrum nutritional cookbook with a startling message–animal fats and cholesterol are vital factors in the human diet, necessary for reproduction and normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels. Includes information on how to prepare grains, health benefits of bone broths and enzyme-rich lacto-fermented foods.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars must have!!
This cookbook is a must have. I learned so much about how foods are supposed to be prepared, that I had never even heard of before. This is phenomenal resource for learning about the body and how it actually uses natural fats and how they are good for you. This is a must read. I take it with me everywhere and read a little at a time. It seems there is more to learn on every page.
5 Stars More than a cookbook
More than a cookbook–more like an encyclopedia. Provides great recipes, plus additional information, such as sources of products. Detailed explanation of nutritional aspects makes the book educational. Comprehensive indices make finding things easy.
1 Star Can’t be trusted
I cannot believe or trust an author beginning with the premise that one’s body requires animal fats (an absolute falsehood). Given that major error, everything that follows in this book is suspect.
5 Stars Best book ever written
This book is so informative I have bought it for my son and his wife, everyone needs to know the value of food. Sally and Mary have put in so much detail about the benefits of good wholesome foods. I now make my own Kefir, lacto fermented veges, broths and much more. My book is marked with a high light pen as well as flags, as there is so much to look back on and re read or find a page quickly to tell someone else the good news.
5 Stars nourishing for the mind
This is an incredible book for anyone that wants to get back to the basics. A real eye opener of how things used to be. great information great recipies.
