 life changing Mar 10, 2010
I received my copy of Nourishing Traditions about four weeks ago and I love it! I've never gotten this into a cookbook/nutrition book in my life. I thumb through it every night when I get home from work and take it with me for long drives on the weekend with my husband!
I usually don't go whole hog for any one diet/lifestyle but I think the clincher for me was the photo of the author on the back--she looks amazing! So healthy! One thing that had struck me when I was looking into other lifestyles such as raw was that many of the hardcore raw/vegans I saw doing recipe demos on youtube or whatever didn't look super-healthy or particularly youthful. The funny thing is, I found out the other day my acupuncturist follows Nourishing Traditions and I have always thought she looks at least 15 years younger than she is! (I don't know how old she is but when I found out her son was my age I calculated that she must have had him at 13 ;-))
I ran right out and got some raw milk so I could make my whey for all the lacto-fermented recipes. My digestion has improved dramatically since following the suggestions in this book. I have also been able to keep off the weight I'd lost just prior to receiving the book even though I've been eating all the butter and cream I want for the past month! Plus, I just feel so much better! All my aches and pains are going away, and I finally feel like I'm getting properly nourished from the food I eat. I feel calmer, happier, and more balanced. I think everyone should avail themselves of this amazing wealth of knowledge!

I have often questioned the validity of the typical American diet and the medical field in evaluating why we are seeing so much more cancer and illness. This book provides a great alternative and gives great information as to why and how foods work with us and gives good recipes to follow. Great job! :)

 DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK Mar 05, 2010
As a General Practitioner focusing on Integrative Healthcare, I found this book to be outright disgusting. For those with little to no nutritional background, it is dangerous. When I came to the section about eating the sinuses and brains of mammals I wanted to vomit. Hey Sally, have you heard of Mad Cow disease? (aka Creutzfeld-Jacobs disease).
In addition, most of the material is not from scientific, peer reviewed journals. Rather, it is from material generated and written by the authors from their previous articles.
Thirdly, when you go to a website recommended by Ms. Fallon in this book, you see that all sort of gimmicky health things are for sale--WAY TO GO! It is linked with the Weston Price Foundation, an entity with little credibility. If you are looking for a good book full of scientifically based research studies by one of the most prominent biochemical researchers, try reading The China Study. You can then draw your own conclusions about the link between plant based protein and health, and animal based protein and disease.
I think this book should be banned and I am thoroughly disgusted to have wasted good money on it.
Best Cookbook I Own Mar 05, 2010
Hands down the best cookbook I own. It has helped me tremendously to improve my health and to educate me on how to homestead and cook in a way that feels very authentic and connected to my ancestors. Honors wisdom of the women and men that came before, which in itself is healing... Thank you!

Helpful to a vegetarian if you're willing to look outside yourself!! Feb 27, 2010
I know that a lot has been said about the merits and pitfalls of this book, but I still feel the need to add my own opinion. I am mostly vegetarian.. I eat good quality meat occasionally and I do eat animal products. That said, I was initially turned off by Nourishing Traditions due to the extensive chapters featuring meat. Yet looking further into it, I really found a lot of information in this book that I was previously unaware of. The knowledge of phytic acid in grains and beans I found especially interesting and helpful. I also like the idea of eating a lacto-fermented item with every meal to increase digestibility of foods that aren't necessarily easy to digest on their own. I think that people who criticize the meat and dairy industrial complexes make very good points, but I can also see the merits of raw milk and cultured dairy products, as well as the benefits of eating meats and animal fats that have been pastured. There is so much misinformation out there about nutrition, and it's hard to take anything at face value, especially studies that are funded by various mysterious sources. I certainly believe that if anyone wants to eat a vegetarian or even vegan diet that he or she may do so healthfully AS LONG AS she has a good knowledge of nutrition and puts this into practice. Yet I can also understand the argument for incorporating animal products into our diets.. with a number of caveats, particularly that those products are coming from sources that we know and trust. My philosophies aside though, I found this book really fascinating with its bits of folklore and history, as well as the information regarding non-mainstream preparations of food and drink. You don't necessarily have to agree with the philosophy to gain knowledge from Nourishing Traditions.
