Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats

Great recipes from someone whose nutritional ideas, I trust.

Este libro es extensísimo, toca todos los tipos de alimentos, y revisa y explica las formas más tradicionales de cocción.Tiene muchas explicaciones y las recetas son sencillas (aunque también las hay complicadas). Te explica fórmulas básicas y el por qué las cosas de hacen de una forma u otra. Además, hay muchísima información sobre las propiedades de los alimentos y la forma de alimentación respaldando la tradición con la ciencia.El libro tiene dibujos, pero son sin color, y es un libro para consultar, como un básico. No tiene fotos ni está elaborado para ser visual (entendamos, es bonito pero es práctico y para leer, con sus recetas bien explicadas y compartimentadas, pero aprovechando todo el espacio con letra y explicaciones y pocas imágenes).Igualmente me parece que es el mejor libro de cocina que tengo, por su extensión, versatilidad, variabilidad de temas (ensaladas, carnes, pescados, dulces, sopas, fermentados, órganos, verduras...) y seriedad. Si sólo pudiera tener un libro sería este. Hay recetas de comida de todo el mundo y cosas para hacer con niños.

Excelent product: it is a book that has a lot of information about food and nutrition; I recommend it at 100%.

I wish I would have known about this book and its content thirty years ago! I would have lived a truly healthier life and fed my children the way they should have eaten. And yet, I have always lived "healthy" - whole grain, cereal, granola bar instead of mars bar, no French fries, not too much fat, salads, etc. You know the drill. What I didn't know, and what you probably don't know either, is, that we have been lied to by money making companies, scientists without integrity with cheques from the food industry and a government that is misled, doesn't care or is paid off by the food industry.I have read a lot of different health books (after I got sick, of course) and when I started reading Nourishing Traditions things finally made sense. This book is packed with information on nutrition, excerpts from books and studies and tests, and is part science, part tradition, part common sense and - actually also a cook book. You will never look at commercial ice cream the same way but you will start making your own. And you will finally eat the diet your body was designed for. This isn't about dropping junk food, this is about getting your eyes opened to an entire new world. I have given out copies of this book to every friend and everyone sick and in need of proper health management. I can't stress enough that our society has been made sick by eating things that aren't food, or foods prepared the wrong way. I will forever be indebted to Sally Fallon for writing this book and for fighting the cause for real, whole foods. Butter rules - and margarine has always been dead anyways.

The book is amazing and a great source for developing a balanced and healthy diet.
