Groundbreaking Book About Traditional Foods
I first discovered the Nourishing Traditions book around 1999. This groundbreaking book reaffirmed my thoughts about the health benefits of real foods prepared in traditional manners.
The book discusses traditional foods, including bone broths, cultured dairy, ferments, sourdough, and more. Sally Fallon went on to found the Weston A Price Foundation, which has a website and printed journal that promotes traditional foods and their proper preparation.
In my conversational video about Nourishing Traditions, I also talk about additional books that I’ve found interesting and inspirational on my traditional foods journey. These books include Pottenger’s Prophecy and A Life Unburdened.
