by Craig Richard, Sally Fallon Morell

Nourishing The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats is a comprehensive guide to traditional and holistic approaches to food and nutrition. Written by Sally Fallon and Dr Craig Richard, this book emphasizes the use of whole, unprocessed foods and traditional cooking methods, and critiques the modern Western diet for its reliance on processed foods and industrial agriculture.

It also includes recipes for meals, tips for weight loss, and detailed information about the nutritional benefits of various foods. One of the key themes of the book is the importance of incorporating traditional foods into our modern diets. The authors argue that our ancestors ate a diet that was much more nutrient-dense and varied than the typical Western diet, and that this is the key to good health. They also discuss the importance of traditional cooking methods, such as fermentation and soaking, which can help to break down the anti-nutrients in foods and make them more easily digestible. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of traditional and holistic nutrition. The first section, "Foundations of Nourishing Traditions," provides an overview of the principles of traditional nutrition and explains why they are important for good health. The second section, "Foods that Heal," covers the nutritional benefits of various foods, including meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, and fermented foods. The third section, "Foods that Harm," discusses the dangers of processed foods, sugar, and refined vegetable oils. The fourth section, "Recipes for Health," provides detailed recipes for meals, snacks, and desserts that are based on traditional and nutrient-dense ingredients. The book also includes a section on weight loss. The authors argue that the key to weight loss is to eat a diet that is high in nutrient-dense foods, such as meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, and fermented foods, and to avoid processed foods, sugar, and refined vegetable oils. They also provide tips for weight loss, including eating meals at regular times, eating slowly, and avoiding snacking between meals. Overall, Nourishing Traditions is a comprehensive guide to traditional and holistic approaches to food and nutrition. It provides a wealth of information on the nutritional benefits of various foods, traditional cooking methods, and the dangers of processed foods. It also includes detailed recipes and tips for weight loss, making it an excellent resource for anyone interested in improving their health and well-being through diet.
