Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook That Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats

Having closely followed a similar diet for the past 10 years, and aged 77, I can confirm this book's dietary benefits and how it can restore health and the feel-good factor to one's life. Bruce Fife's book, 'Saturated Fat May Save Your Life' is complimentary to it. Anyone who fails to recognise the benefits of the recommendations in this book is speaking from ignorance. To anyone interested in long-term health benefits then it is a 'must read'! (Read too Dr Mary Enig's interesting article, 'The Oiling of America' which is on the Internet). At my advanced stage to life I am in excellent health without aches or pains, and can run as fast as my Norfolk terriers, still retain a healthy libido, and continue to believe that I have a future; does anyone require more reassurance? It is carbohydrates, especially of the grain variety that furrs arteries, and it is polyunsaturated fats, especially vegetable oils, that are potent immune suppressors, and the rest is propaganda!

Now where is my delicious streaky-bacon, fresh genuine free-ranging hen's eggs, and fried in dripping?

Oh dear...sorry to disagree, but (7/22 people found this helpful)

this is the biggest load of pseudo-scientific claptrap that I have read in a very long time.

Some of the recipes may be OK (but I have my doubts - sweet and sour chicken with 250 ml vinegar, 250ml lemon juice and no sweetening?) but the side notes on each page are nonsensical at best, and actively misleading at worst.

I bought this book expecting sensible, serious commentary, but I've been very, very disappointed.

The bible of nutritional and recipe books! (12/13 people found this helpful)

This would be my most frequently opened book. It's the best compilation of nutritional knowledge around and an excellent resource with over 700 recipes from ancient cultures. A must have for every household!

It is the sort of book that you find yourself buying for family and friends because its message and contents can be life changing.

Very informative (2/2 people found this helpful)

I cannot add much more than the previous reviewers did. So I will repeat a bit.
The book is really a must read for people who are interested in nutrition. Its been THE book that made sense to me on what is healthy and what is not. There is no confusing in it and no contradictions, at least not for me. It all makes sense, and my family is healthier by it as well. Its also loads of fun, making all the good stuff yrself.
In the meantime I have ordered wild fermentation as well, see what that is going to bring, lots more fun no doubt.

Brilliant book - great explanations and terrific recipes! (10/11 people found this helpful)

I love this book.
At first I was a bit sceptical about the recipes but all the ones I have tried so far have been delicious!
What the author says makes sense. As well as detailed chapters on nutrition there a quotations from other books on every page making the book a very entertaining read.
I don't regret buying this book. Plus the cover is so beautifully illustrated!
