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 Awesome book
Even if you never make a single recipe from this book, reading the first seventy two pages of nutritional background will change the way you eat. The author has taken the time to include references and cite research that support some amazing dietary choices. Good reading!

5 Stars Have I had an AH-HA moment with this book….
This book goes to great detail about what foods we should be eating and which ones should be avoided at all costs….can you say “trans fats”? Very indepth and educational. I’ve worked in the weight loss industry for almost 15 years. Today, much of us dieters are cutting back or eliminating fat (especially the animal fat) and going with canola or spreadable diet butters. Let me tell you…reading this book has opened my eyes. I had a few great ah-ha moments and have changed the way I look at meat and dairy. She gives the background and the data of what she’s talking about.

Previously, I’d read the book called IN DEFENSE OF FOOD…that lead me to this book. How the food industry has most of us wrapped around their little fingers…adding sugar to almost anything they over process…that book is also a good read.

About the recipes in this huge book:

I’ve tried a few of the recipes and like everything that I’ve tried. This is a fantastic book that I will not lend out to anyone! Get your own.

5 Stars A Mandatory Kitchen Tool
From ketchup to baby formula to kombucha, this cookbook has it all!

I try to avoid as much packaging as I can, but now, making homemade condiments and other delectables (much healthier versions too) I will be able to avoid countless plastic bottles!

I love this cookbook!!!

4 Stars great resource
I am really enjoying this book, both for the recipes and the extensive information in it. Most of the recipes are really good, I give it 4 stars because sometimes the instructions are not very clear and there are a few recipes that are not very good as written. But a great starting off point for changing my diet and I rely heavily on this as a base for all my cooking.

4 Stars A real eye-opener
This book is a real eye opener. It will tell you exactly why the politically correct nutrition is mostly wrong. By looking at the traditions of our ancestors and at the work of the nutrition Pioneer Weston A.Price, the authors were able to deliver both a invaluable source of knowledge backed up with scientific evidences, and a practical manual of great cooking. Some recipes may seems a little bit challenging or daunting at first, but once you will get your hands “dirty” in the kitchen, and most of all once you will have sample the recipes, you will be hooked. Just try to soak and slowly roast some organics nuts and you will enjoy an amazing taste compared to commercial nuts, which are not properly prepared to be fully assimiled by your body. And the list goes on and on : homemade yoghourt, sourdough bread, saurekraut…

To conclude, a fantastic book which definitely challenges modern nutrition. As usual do not belive the hype : try for yourself, and see how you feel! I am myself recovering from many dietetic mistakes (raw veganism etc:) which compromised my digestive system, thanks to Weston A: Price and Nourrishing Traditions!
