I was introduced to the Weston A. Price Foundation & to Sally Fallon Morell and her cookbook (much more that that) "Nourishing Traditions - The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats". As I read this book, I felt as if a weight (pun intended) had been lifted. It all made so much sense. Why hadn't I put it all together before?
You see, many facets of the NT (Nourishing Traditions) lifestyle were familiar to me. I was already trying to shop & eat locally and seasonally. I was buying organic produce, at least most of the time. I always had an inkling the nutrition was the key to health.
Now, a few of months into my conversion to the NT lifestyle, I am still learning, every day. From pastured eggs to grass-fed meat & butter, it's been an adventure! (raw dairy is next!) And, I am loving it! I posted HERE about my first batch of sauerkraut and HERE about making cream cheese. I have really enjoyed cooking with real, traditional foods. And spending time at the Farmer's Market, getting to know my local farmers has been a blast!
I'll be posting more about this my new way of cooking and eating and the resulting benefits I gain. That certainly is "refining life", isn't it??
Here's a link to Real Food Media. Love their tag line: REAL FOOD. SMALL FARMS. GREEN LIVING. It's a great place to learn more about traditional foods, sustainable agriculture and get a whole bunch of great recipes & health info.
