 SPECTACULAR! August 29, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is the best health/nutrition/cookbook I have ever owned. I am so glad that I found out about it. It reveals many health issues of which I was unaware. From what oils should and should not be heated to the dangers of cooking with aluminum cookware. This is a must read for all who value their health and longevity. The little anecdotes at the sides of the page are extremely enlightening also. DEFINITELY worth the money [in fact worth more...but don't raise the price;)]
The basics of eating for a healthy life August 11, 2008

This is an excellent book, and one that has opened my eyes to so many possibilities concerning how to eat well, particularly as I get older. As well as recipes, there are explanations about cholesterol, heart disease, cancer, and other helpful, intelligent explanations for why Americans have so many illnesses, compared to other peoples. I would recommend it to anyone who cares about well-being and eating nutritious meals that are not expensive. It takes a change of mind set to cook according to many of the recipes, but is well worth it.
NOURISHING TRADITIONS August 5, 2008

Nourishing Traditions is an exciting book for me as it makes sense of healthy eating and shows up all those fad upon fad books. She is keen on what kept many many old and ancient civilisations healthy and it seems that natural fermentation and natural ways of keeping foods from going off also promote good digestion. I can't explain it as well as she so I wont. I was converted from the moment I read her. It was easy for me to get absorbed and remember what she said, so I am happy about that too... many health books go way over my head. The recipes I've tried are good and the general advice is helpful. I love the book... it's my food and health bible now.
Something worth considering August 1, 2008

I have to admit I was shocked by this book. But when you read it, it just starts to make sense. Too much sense really. This book is the exact opposite of everything we are told about healthly nutrition! Drink raw whole milk for example. But when she tells you why she feels this way, you think there must be something to this. It just makes too much sense. We put out a raw milk petition to make it leagal in our state. You don't know how many people we had tell us that they used to drink it as a kid & it never hurt them or their parents/grandparents did. How their cholesterol was just fine & dandy.
She also speaks of preparing our foods in ways that make them more digestable. Fermentation is a big one. We tried some recipes. Most of them have been really tasty! They do take more time, I should say prep. then you may be used to. If you stick to it, it will become habit. Like, "I want to make bean blah blitty blah for dinner tomorrow. I had better soak the beans tonight."
We have become so far removed from our food. Where it comes from & how it is grown. To truly enjoy food, we need to prepare it ourselves. Nourish our selves rather than being feed. There's a difference. You can feel it. Slow food nation...Slim nation.

This book just makes sense! It contains time-honored traditions for the health of you and your loved ones. Toss aside what the media is telling you; follow your natural, God-given instincts about nutrition and get this book!
