Nourishing Traditions

The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats

By: Sally Fallon, Mary G. Enig

Narrated by: Camille Mazant

This well-researched, thought-provoking audio guide to traditional foods contains a startling message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels. Sally Fallon dispels the myths of the current low-fat fad in this practical, entertaining guide to a can-do diet that is both nutritious and delicious.

Nourishing Traditions will tell you:

• Why your body needs old fashioned animal fats
• Why butter is a health food
• How high-cholesterol diets promote good health
• How saturated fats protect the heart
• How rich sauces help you digest and assimilate your food
• Why grains and legumes need special preparation to provide optimum benefits
• About enzyme-enhanced food and beverages that can provide increased energy and vitality
• Why high-fiber, low fat diets can cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies

Topics include the health benefits of traditional fats and oils (including butter and coconut oil); dangers of vegetarianism; problems with modern soy foods; health benefits of sauces and gravies; proper preparation of whole grain products; pros and cons of milk consumption; easy-to-prepare enzyme enriched condiments and beverages; and appropriate diets for babies and children.

This audio edition comes with a supplementary PDF that includes selected recipes from the print edition. Nourishing Traditions is wonderfully narrated by Camille Mazant and produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Wish I had read this book 20 years ago!

The author is so way ahead of her time. In light of the fact that this book was produced 20 years ago, the information it relays is now being proven over and over today. Raw milk is now outlawed for sale... and we let this happen. Hopefully this can be changed as more folks discover the health benefits of fermentation.

nutrition knowledge

Much better narrative then some others I've heard. Very enlightening book, a must read!

This book gives a correct understanding of the way we should be eating

I feel this book gives a very good understanding of the foods we need to be eating and not eating. Milk is in the essentials especially Raw milk.

Excellent source of sound nutritional information

I bought a crock pot and made my first chicken broth from backs and feet last week. Next up homemade yogurts and cheeses

Nourishing in many ways

I have had the print book for decades and this audio version is an excellent interpretation. If you are new to the material this audiobook can easily stand on its own, if you have the book and use it for reference as I do, it serves as a worthwhile refresher and healthful reminder of the difference between the foods that nourish our body and soul and the industrial products that nourish corporate profits at your body's expense.

Flies in the face of Big Food

This book, if read and absorbed, will change your life. I like to listen with the physical book nearby, so I can run over and highlight parts of it that stand out to me. If you are a fan of governmental agencies, and believing what they tell you is good for you, this information will sound outrageous. Stick with it, and you will notice that it rings true to your intuition. No more needs to be said.

Great nutritional information

This book gives insight into how our diet effects our life and how we have been misinformed by people who don’t want us to know…great read

Excellent information for a healthy diet

This is an excellent resource for detailed information everyone needs to eat a healthy diet.

Interesting & Informative

Packed with information.
I've listened to this book a couple of times. Half of it is educational the other half is a cookbook. They don't read the recipes out loud but I believe there is a pdf. I got the hard copy. I love the recipes so far.
I'm glad I got this book.

amazing
