I really can't say much about it today, as I have just received it. All I can say is I saw a killer spaghetti squash recipe in it that I want to try.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 thanks Lynn! Please lmk what you think... also.. is it a vegetarian book?? (even better if vegan, actually!) my library has one copy, but I won't be able to get it (no holds! UGH!) so I may just have to buy this one used if I want to check it out.. .. that's why I wanted to look here first! =) thanks for any info you have Lynn!!

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 This book is a big hit in the fermentation groups to which I belong. However, it is decidedly *NOT* vegetarian. Here is the description and back cover info from Amazon: " -spectrum nutritional cookbook with a startling message--animal fats and cholesterol are vital factors in the human diet, necessary for reproduction and normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels. Includes information on how to prepare grains, health benefits of bone broths and enzyme-rich lacto-fermented foods. From the Back Cover The Diet Dictocrats don't want you to know that... Your body needs old-fashioned animal fats New-fangled polyunsaturated oils can be bad for you Modern whole grain products can cause health problems Traditional sauces promote digestion and assimilation Modern food processing denatures our foods but Ancient preservation methods actually increase nutrients in fruits, nuts vegetables, meats and milk products! At last a successful challenge to Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats! Recalling the culinary customs of our ancestors, and looking ahead to a future of robust good health for young and old, Nourishing Traditions offers modern families a fascinating guide to wise food choices and proper preparation techniques. Sally Fallon unites the wisdom of the ancients with the latest independent and accurate scientific research in over 700 delicious recipes that will please both exacting gourmets and busy parents.
