My second-hand copy of Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon arrived today, and I couldn’t be more excited to dive in.
This book has become a modern classic in the world of traditional nutrition. Drawing inspiration from the research of Dr. Weston A. Price, it explores the wisdom of ancestral diets and the importance of nutrient-dense, whole foods. Inside are hundreds of recipes alongside practical education on soaking, sprouting, fermenting, culturing, making bone broth, preparing organ meats, using healthy traditional fats, and getting the most nutrition from the foods we eat.
What I love most is that it’s more than a cookbook. It challenges many modern nutrition assumptions and encourages a return to time-tested food traditions that supported healthy generations long before processed foods became the norm.
