Join the Traditional Foods Kitchen Academy
My conversational vodcasts are exclusively available to members of the Traditional Foods Kitchen Academy, who we call Kitchen Pioneers. You can learn more about my optional YouTube membership community, including members-only videos and exclusive perks.
This membership community is optional. I’m still publishing my weekly detailed instructional cooking videos on my public YouTube channel that you can watch for free. (Thanks so much for being a Sweet Friend and subscriber!)
Traditional Foods Journals
Videos are an ideal way to learn about traditional foods. You can watch lively discussions about real foods and follow along with tutorial videos to help you prepare nutrient-rich meals.
From books to magazines, print publications also provide you with hardcopy resources and references that don’t require any electrical power or an Internet connection to access. In my latest vodcast, I focus on two publications that I like to read regularly:
- Wise Traditions Journal (from the Weston A. Price Foundation)
- Backwoods Home Magazine
Backwoods Home and Self-Reliance
The Backwoods Home and Self Reliance printed magazines are two of our favorite publications, especially since they deal with topics of interest to traditional foods cooks and modern pioneers.

- Special Offer: The publisher of Backwoods Home and Self Reliance is offering my sweet friends 50% off subscriptions to their printed magazines. This is not a sponsored post. I love these publications, and I’m grateful you can get them at a discount.

Grind Your Own Flour with the Mockmill
In my vodcast, I also talk about different ways you can grind your own whole grain. When it comes to electric grain mills, after I did A LOT of research, I decided to buy a Mockmill. And am I so happy I did! The Mockmill is a very affordable but beautifully crafted German-made mill that stone grinds grain with settings ranging from 1 to 10—fine to coarse ground grain.

Learn more about Mockmill electric grain mills for making fresh flour and their Flake Lover’s Flaker that flakes whole grain in minutes. (This is not a sponsored post. I bought the Mockmill products that I show you, and I’m a happy user of their devices in my kitchen.)

Storing Whole Grains
If you are interested in learning how to store whole grains and other foods for long-term storage, check out my recent food storage video and blog post. I share links to several authoritative food storage resources, such as from the Latter Day Saints and Utah State University.
Beef Livers and Fermented Ketchup
One of the recipe combinations I mention in the vodcast brings together fried beef livers and fermented ketchup. It’s a nourishing meal in disguise as a treat that your family will enjoy! 😉
