Newest book review from Cynthia Lair on my new book: Fermented Foods for Health
Received this wonderful book review from Cynthia Lair, Assistant Professor and Culinary Curriculum Director for Bastyr University’s Department of Nutrition & Exercise Science, Author of Feeding the Whole Family (Sasquatch Books 2008) and Feeding the Young Athlete (Readers to Eaters, 2012). And Host of the online cooking show Cookus Interruptus at cookus.tv
"Do you have a gut feeling that you need to read this book? Trust that hunch.
Not only is our gut a barometer of intuition, the microbial population living there instructs our body’s digestive processes and the immune system. To handle this huge chore, our microflora needs to be dominated by strong, virile good guys. Today our gut good guys are being decimated by the overuse of antibiotics, poor quality processed foods, stress and more resulting in an a wide array of ills.
To the rescue (ta da!) comes Dr. Deirdre Rawlings. In her new book, Fermented Foods for Health, she has synthesized the history of humans eating probiotic-rich foods with cutting-edge research and written this utterly comprehendible book that neatly lays out the link between our gut and our health.
"But that’s not all. Her book also includes EVERYTHING you need to know about how to make probiotic-rich food and drink at home so that eating fermented foods to help your flora flourish becomes a natural part each day. I’ll drink (kombucha) to that!
