Nourishing Traditions Book Review

Before science started to tinkle with food in a laboratory we had many many traditional ways of preserving, processing and dehydrating foods. Nourishing Traditions is a cookbook, a guide to eating the old way that will educate you to how we are meant to eat with food that will heal and nourish our bodies. Based on the research of Dr. Weston A Price, Sally Fallon gives us a huge whack of information that will transform your dinner table to the way which our great grandparents used to. Science has altered our food dramatically. Take 3 grocery items from your pantry and have a look at the labels, Google the ingredients if you have to. I know you will be shocked and surprised to see what you are feeding yourself and your family. These foods are robbing us of the nourishment that our bodies need which is causing many diseases, disorder and allergies.

Nourishing Traditions explains fats, carbohydrates, proteins, dairy, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes to educate us to make wise decisions of our diet. From there we have a array of many many recipes from old and new all prepared in the traditional way to retain and release the important nutrients and aid our digestion. At the beginning of each section there is a commentary to further explain the concepts behind the recipes, then on the side margins of all the recipes there are quotes from many sources on proper nutrition. I am still reading all these comments and tid bits because there are so many of them. Its also taking me so long as I will read something and then do a heap of research on it!!!!

Nourishing Traditions is full of valuable information that you aren’t going to hear from many other places. Unfortunately due to our busy lifestyle some could say that they just don't have time to prepare food like this. At first the book can seem overwhelming to implement but make changes gradually. When I changed to this lifestyle I was working two jobs (working 2 evenings a week), had my own business, did volunteer work once a fortnight, studying and I had a husband to feed as well. I understand that you can be busy but it's no excuse. Also you might be thinking it is more expensive .. I beg to differ I found that this lifestyle took quite a bit of our weekly grocery bill. This book will put you onto a journey to good nutrition and health what are you waiting for?

If some of the principles are just way out there and you are unable to get your head around them e-mail us and we will do what we can to help. In the coming months we will be holding seminars in Hamilton to show you how to apply these principles so keep your eyes on this blog!!!
