which was given to me when I was 18 and sat on a shelf to be picked up 2 years later after the birth of my first child。 I was struggling to breastfeed after having a major loss of blood （OBGYN's mistake led to this and a major birth trauma）。 I had virtually no milk supply。 Tried everything！ Persevered for 6 horrible long exhausting weeks before I finally gave up。 I did not even become engorged upon stopping， that's how low my supply was。 Looking back now i was very malnourished from a terrible diet of fast food and soda during pregnancy， plus the major loss of blood after birth- there's no way my body could produce anything。 My teeth were crumbling， horrible cavities everywhere。 I was very much against infant formula but I had no other choice， so i started my son of Enfamil。 He was colicky， constipated， constant projectile spit up， not sleeping well， and I was DEPRESSED。 I was even having to use infant suppositories for him。 This is NOT NORMAL！！ No matter how common it is， it's not normal。。。I began reading a lot to try and help keep my mind off of the deep depression I was experiencing （Lack of sleep， stress of being a young new wife and mother， no family in the area， plus my very unhealthy and hormone depleted body）。 Then， one day I came across the book that I had placed on a shelf two years prior （The Maker's Diet- a great book）。 When I started reading through some of the recipes， I noticed many of them were referencing this book called "Nourishing Traditions"。 I went to Barnes and Noble and bought this book the same week。 Instantly saw how informative it was and how packed with recipes！ I love it！！ It opened my life to a completely new way of thinking/eating/ living。 One of the first recipes i came across was the infant formula recipe。 I thanked God because I knew he led me there， as I had PRAYED and cried out to God to help me find some way to feed my baby， and in the midst of feeling like such a massive failure for not being able to nurse my son， I realized that God had used my dad to give me The Maker's Diet， which I would pick up two years later out of desperation， which would in turn lead me to Nourishing Traditions。。。 Long story short， I used the website provided in the book to scout out a source of raw milk locally， and within that week I found a raw milk cow share and signed up， and ordered all of the ingredients that I needed and started making my son's formula。 From the first feeding， he was a much happier baby！ He stopped fussing so much， he started SLEEPING through the night， AND he was NEVER AGAIN constipated！ His bowel movements turned to mustard yellow， seedy， soft just as they were when I was nursing him。Fast forward to two years later and having completely embraced the Nourishing Traditions lifestyle， my husband and I decided to try for a second child。 This pregnancy went much differently。 I took care of myself， the nourishing traditions way。 I drank superfood green smoothies every single day with home made raw milk kefir， ate healthy （not 100%， but I tried to give my body everything it needed！）， plenty of butter and coconut oil and eggs， took whole food supplements and herbs instead of synthetic pharmaceutical prenatals， and never once saw a doctor- only my midwives who I had a home birth with。 Gave birth to my 9lb 4oz 23" long baby girl， ELEVEN days late （hey， she knew when she was ready！）， at home with no medication， in an inflatable birthing pool。 It was awesome。 My milk came in within 2 days （holy heck did it come in！！）， she never lost weight， she slept much better， was very alert and nursed very well， had no digestion issues and has always been SO HEALTHY！ My son is very healthy too （thanks to being able to start making his formula at 6/7 weeks of age）， but he did catch and still does tend to catch more illnesses than she ever has。 I really do attribute this to the type of diet i ate while pregnant with her， versus the SAD （standard american diet） i ate while pregnant with him， as well as the first 6 weeks of powdered formula and the drug exposure he had during birth in the hospital。。。。ONE THING I have noticed that is astounding to me is the difference in their facial structures and teeth/jaw formation。 After reading Weston Price's "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration"， as well as Francis Pottenger's "Pottenger's Cats"， it makes sense to me why this is so。 My little girl has such a beautiful and wide jaw， with perfectly straight and spaced teeth which i know will allow for her permanents to grow in without crowding， while my son has very crowded teeth and a more narrow jaw and has already had cavities while my daughter has had ZERO。 （SEE PICS！）It really does make a difference what you eat before conception， during pregnancy， and what you feed your child。。 （Btw， I supplemented with WAP homemade formula and eventually switched her to it completely when I decided to quit nursing- don't judge me）I'm not saying everything in this book is completely 100% for everyone， but it worked for me and my babies。 All of the information also led me into a completely different life as far as nutrition and eating。 I try to stay away from grains completely these days as I have some long standing digestive issues， but if I do have them I believe they are best soaked or sprouted like this book says。 Also， try sprouted nuts- SO DELICIOUS and so much better for you than roasted or even raw。 Lots of good recipes in the book， and you'll get a ton of practice in the cooking and preparing of different foos。 If nothing else， get it for the baby formula recipe and information pertaining to childhood nutrition。 My favorite and most used part of the recipes in this book are the fermented foods and dairy。" （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

Jennie ，

A recipe book that also shares the importance of what is healthy food， what our bodies need， nutritional information， and about food sources。 The recipes are easy and simple。 This is the cookbook that needs to be in every household。 I bought mine used and inside was the sweetest note wrote to someone they gifted the book to， and she also stated this it is the best cookbook， along with a Bible verse from Isaiah 55:2， thank you Grandma June for that note you wrote。

Shelly ，

She is pretty hardcore。 Moreso than me honestly， but a really good resource for recipes and very granola info。

Colleen Waltman ，

I really like the fermented foods and the emphasis on eating saturated fats。 However， there are many other books out there and this book is unclean for me as a Christian because of the writer's pagan religion that she incorporates in this book and because of the unclean pictures on the front cover。 I cannot recommend this book though it has some neat studies on nutrition。 I really like the fermented foods and the emphasis on eating saturated fats。 However， there are many other books out there and this book is unclean for me as a Christian because of the writer's pagan religion that she incorporates in this book and because of the unclean pictures on the front cover。 I cannot recommend this book though it has some neat studies on nutrition。 。。。more

There is alot of information in this book！ I loved the recipes， I loved the encouraging words on eating healthy。 Not a diet， but a lifestyle。 Great book！

Becky Wooler ，

Had to DNF this one， as I was reading it digitally and the formatting was horrible once I got to the actual recipes。 While I can agree with many of the basic principles （less processed food is healthier， government regulators are more interested in lining their pockets than the actual health of Americans）， I struggled to see how to implement much of it。 Like I can’t legally buy raw milk in my state， and dairy is a big part of what my picky kids will eat， so giving up non-raw dairy isn’t going to Had to DNF this one， as I was reading it digitally and the formatting was horrible once I got to the actual recipes。 While I can agree with many of the basic principles （less processed food is healthier， government regulators are more interested in lining their pockets than the actual health of Americans）， I struggled to see how to implement much of it。 Like I can’t legally buy raw milk in my state， and dairy is a big part of what my picky kids will eat， so giving up non-raw dairy isn’t going to work。 Also， giving up tea is not going to happen。 。。。more

I credit Sally Fallon and Nourishing Traditions with the consistently robust long term health of our whole family and many friends too。 Life saving and deeply enriching information and delicious besides。 I have been using it religiously for 17 years， and have probably given it away 45 times。 Must have。

This is one of those books that is hard to review。 How does one explain how a book that is so chockful of blah and so-so recipes， along with cherry-picked science， still rate as a book I'd recommend， keep on my shelf， and periodically reference？ This book changed the way I viewed food， especially fats and animal products。 It started my journey to health。 It's an interesting source， but mainly as a human interest read and as a springboard to find other authors who do a better job explaining the s This is one of those books that is hard to review。 How does one explain how a book that is so chockful of blah and so-so recipes， along with cherry-picked science， still rate as a book I'd recommend， keep on my shelf， and periodically reference？ This book changed the way I viewed food， especially fats and animal products。 It started my journey to health。 It's an interesting source， but mainly as a human interest read and as a springboard to find other authors who do a better job explaining the science behind Sally's ideas。 It's a rotten cookbook， quite frankly。 And wouldn't hold up to the scientific method。 But if you hang with Sally's kind， you will find good science behind her ideas。 。。。more

Mona Branting ，

I have used this wonderful book for more than 20 years， not only for recipes but for all the extra text in the margin where research is quoted， stories retold and nutritional facts explained。 The resource list is enormous and the non-PCdirectness is refreshing。

Ashley Breanna ，

The best cookbook ever to exist。

I typically don't ad or rate nonfiction books I read， but this was one of the first nutrition/cook books I picked up after starting my nutrition journey。 It makes so much sense and confirms a lot of my own research and my colleagues research， especially regarding animals fats。 A few of the recipes in here are hard to replicate and Fallon is a big of a hard-ass on a few points （I don't think every single thing needs to be organic always for example） but her knowledge is solid。 We have forgotten w I typically don't ad or rate nonfiction books I read， but this was one of the first nutrition/cook books I picked up after starting my nutrition journey。 It makes so much sense and confirms a lot of my own research and my colleagues research， especially regarding animals fats。 A few of the recipes in here are hard to replicate and Fallon is a big of a hard-ass on a few points （I don't think every single thing needs to be organic always for example） but her knowledge is solid。 We have forgotten what our ancestors have eaten。 Traditional foods combined with exercise is very important。 Once I started incorporating some of her recipes and suggestions， I definitely noticed a difference in my athletic performance and energy levels。 We need meat and animals products and fats！ 。。。more

Heavily skimmed library book。 Will probably not own the book myself as I feel like I have this topic covered with other less grumpy books。

I didn't actually read all of this book。 I use many of her recipes all the time。 I find the fermented vegetables section very helpful but the baked goods recipes don't seem to work for me （but then I am an amateur baker :P）Some of the concepts I have found to be true such as; animal fat， non-rancid oil and butter is good for your health。 Her ideas on raw meat are disgusting and very NOT biblically sound。 The main thing I dislike about the book is that she is not a Christian。 I hadn't known this I didn't actually read all of this book。 I use many of her recipes all the time。 I find the fermented vegetables section very helpful but the baked goods recipes don't seem to work for me （but then I am an amateur baker :P）Some of the concepts I have found to be true such as; animal fat， non-rancid oil and butter is good for your health。 Her ideas on raw meat are disgusting and very NOT biblically sound。 The main thing I dislike about the book is that she is not a Christian。 I hadn't known this until I began to read the section at the beginning of the book and found out she has quite pagan views of God。 （I have no clue what her religion is， it was so strange） I really like her information on fats， fermented vegetables and sprouted grains and have found these things to be verified through other sources online and by simply observing for myself people I know who reject the idea eating butter， they don't even look as healthy as others do。 Vegans and Vegetarians especially have these health issues because butter is good for you。 And if you are a Christian there is scripture to back up the use of butter （that is， if it is good butter you have。） “Butter and honey shall he eat， that he may know to refuse the evil， and choose the good。” Isaiah 7:15 。。。more

There are some parts of the first big section before the recipes that I'm a little skeptical about and will probably go back and read with a closer eye later。 The recipes themselves and the little excerpts in the margins are really exciting and I can't wait to try them！ There are some parts of the first big section before the recipes that I'm a little skeptical about and will probably go back and read with a closer eye later。 The recipes themselves and the little excerpts in the margins are really exciting and I can't wait to try them！ 。。。more

Very interesting and informative。 Will definitely be trying to implement into my cooking。 Took so long to read though。

Good basic recipes for scratch cooking。 Not nearly as interested in her political views。

Conspiracy Cookbook？This reads like a conspiracy book from page 1。。。。 the author refers to Diet Dictocrats （！） and talks about how her goal is to take the politics out of nutrition （！？！）。 She then explains how EVERYONE including the FDA， AMA， cancer groups， research universities and hospitals are ALL wrong about nutrition， and she's the only one brave enough to speak out against the food pyramid。 Okaaaaay。。。 Well， step one of evaluating a source of info is to see if other experts agree， or if th Conspiracy Cookbook？This reads like a conspiracy book from page 1。。。。 the author refers to Diet Dictocrats （！） and talks about how her goal is to take the politics out of nutrition （！？！）。 She then explains how EVERYONE including the FDA， AMA， cancer groups， research universities and hospitals are ALL wrong about nutrition， and she's the only one brave enough to speak out against the food pyramid。 Okaaaaay。。。 Well， step one of evaluating a source of info is to see if other experts agree， or if this source is "exclusive "。 Hmm。。。according to the author she is exclusive。 But what about the actual dietary recommendations？ She actually suggests buying or leasing a Jersey cow。。。among other impractical things。And， as it turns out， she isn't exclusive。。。 if you want recommendations for an anti-inflammatory diet （which is why I picked up Nourishing Traditions， my doctor recommended it） "The Anti-inflammatory Diet for Dummies" seems to cover many of the same concepts， but within a normal lifestyle and without the "politics"。 No cows required。 。。。more

Anna Saggio ，

This book presents an absolutist view of nutrition。 Although it has some good points （e。g。 eating fresh food from farms is more nutritionally rich）， these points were drowned out by its insistency that -this- way was the only way to eat healthy。 Not a big fan。

Cortney Westhoff-O'Farrell ，

I love all the information/research in the sidebars of every page。 I've made a good few of the recipes， though I find I just don't have what it takes - tastebuds or wherewithal to make loads of the recipes - there can be a lot of 'chewing' in some of the dishes。 Still， from a nutrient dense approach to eating - this book is brimming with helpful information and is one I reference now and again， more for the information than for the recipes。 I love all the information/research in the sidebars of every page。 I've made a good few of the recipes， though I find I just don't have what it takes - tastebuds or wherewithal to make loads of the recipes - there can be a lot of 'chewing' in some of the dishes。 Still， from a nutrient dense approach to eating - this book is brimming with helpful information and is one I reference now and again， more for the information than for the recipes。 。。。more

This was fun and interesting to read through and had the word "dictocrats" in the title， so four stars。 It was a somewhat compelling argument that this kind of food is healthy for you。 But it sounds disgusting and you might as well eat a human baby。 Hand me my vegan doughnuts。As far as the recipes， my favorites were for pickled beets and pickled daikon radish。 The beets recipe comes with a quotation from Farmer Boy， and that's the kind of thing I like about this book。 This was fun and interesting to read through and had the word "dictocrats" in the title， so four stars。 It was a somewhat compelling argument that this kind of food is healthy for you。 But it sounds disgusting and you might as well eat a human baby。 Hand me my vegan doughnuts。As far as the recipes， my favorites were for pickled beets and pickled daikon radish。 The beets recipe comes with a quotation from Farmer Boy， and that's the kind of thing I like about this book。 。。。more
