Nourishing Traditions

Now I understand
* why on a low fat diet I became depressed
* Why on a low fat diet I never feel full
* Why on a low fat diet I can never keep off the wieght I loose.
This book is about why good fat is vital to our health and well being, how eating right can give you flashing eyes and dewy skin, about how eating right can stave off disease and illness and give you boundless energy. And this book tells you all about which are the good fats and which are the anti nutrients. Think about your body as something that needs the right balance of nutrients to function efficiently - like putting the wrong fuel in your car, your body will eventuallyfail - diabetes, obesity and rotten teeth. Im so gald I found this book, it has saved my life.

Good information that is beginning to come out slowly but surely and is smashing the myths and dogma that surround what constitutes a good diet. Thinking about the fact that the majority of the brain is made out of fat helps me to understand why diets that burn too much fat could be dangerous for people. Things like this are very important facts to know.

This is an excellent book with HEAPS of important information! LOTS of recipies to choose from to make healthy eating interesting and YUMMY! Shows how to make cultured and fermented foods - you will be surprised and delighted! Truly a nutritional bible... And thick! This will take weeks to read :)
Information on: Politically correct nutrition, Fats, Carbs, Proteins, Milk products,Vitamins, Minerals, Enzymes, Salt spices and additives, Beverages, allergies and special diets, ....
Tells of an experiment where 18 rats were divided into three groups; thecontrol group received rat chow and water, the second group received cornflakes and water, and the third group received the empty cornflake box and water... Guess which group died first? Thats right! There is more nutrition in the box than there is in the contents!
Also heaps of quotes from Weston Price, Nutrition and Physical degeneration, and other relevant books.
Highly recommended to everyone!

"Nourishing Traditions... is a work of genius... richly encyclopedic.... run, don't walk to the nearest phone and order Nourishing Traditions."

More than just a cookbook, its an education!

This book is essential to any health conscious cook. It taught me to cook and got me really excited about the improvements I could make in my diet. Thank you Sally Fallon and Mary Enig. I actually wore my first copy out. Now on my second copy, there is such an array of do-able recipes that I'm still stumbling across new ones to try. The best thing is that my foodie/wine connoisseur husband really loves my cooking inspired by this book. Our stamina and health are enviable by all our friends. We both attribute this to putting into practice the principles Sally and Mary describe. From this book I have been introduced to 'The Weston A Price Foundation' www.westonaprice.org a fabulous resource for more info as well as an introduction to a whole community inspired by the message in Nourishing Traditions.

I was very sick a year ago, and started researching. i found out how toxic soy milk is. I found nearly everything on the supermarket shelves contains toxic soy and corn by-products. I was starving every organ of my body-malnourished..

This book 'nourishing traditions' is too get you back to what is the 'right' way of eating... i have read many websites-by doctors- that tell people to get back to 'proper' eating.. the way we are told to eat now is totally wrong. it is not natural/healthy.
What was done for centuries, we are told in the last 60 years, is the wrong way to eat, and we have to change to what is now considered the right way...
Doctors/nutritionists only know what they are taught. They say- 'we have changed the way people eat, so why are people getting sicker. why is there more heart and organ (kidney/liver etc) disease. why is there more diabetes/obesity/food intolerance's etc..'

It is because what was NOT broken, was fixed.. Our bodies are malnourished and every organ in our body needs proper animal fat etc to function.. Hormones are governed by cholesterol. Why are so many couples infertile? Because they do not eat enough good meat/organic butter/cheese/etc. People cook in toxic oil..eat cardboard cereal..do not prepare grains as they should be, thus making them unable to be assimilated..

GET the book. LEARN how to look after your body. The only thing to get healthy in today's western worlds diet is the wallets of big food and pharmaceutical companies.... We have been so brain-washed..

A good book - but the ingredients are diffiucult to source in rural New Zealand.

It is much more than a cooking book, its like a cooking bible. it reminds us how to prepare our food so that it can be digested properly and not make us sick, for example i could not eat grains any more (even rice) it would make me sick.BUt now i understand that it is because i was never taught how to cook them properly. PLus i love to go back to traditional recipes it make so much sense. Love the book.
ONly disappointment is the soft cover....nevermind.

Fantastic book. If you really want to know what foods to eat to be healthy and vital, this is it. Great recipes and oodles of information that is easy to follow. The author is knowledgeable and explains why we should be eating things such as butter rather than marg etc. Definitely recommend. This book is a keeper and is my bible.

Nourishing traditions is a book that every family in Australia needs to read and take notice of. It is a wealth of information. I loved the book!

This is a brilliant book! Don't think twice about anything else, just grab it! I love Fishpond too. They are my one stop, online shopping spot. Love it. Thanks
