About this deal

The Nourishing Traditions Cookbook for Children is a beautifully illustrated picture book, healthy recipe cookbook and traditional food adventure guide all in one. Parents and teachers who have been frustrated working around the canned foods, microwaves, nutritionally poor recipes, and sugar-laden treats in other kids’ cookbooks will be thrilled to use this book instead. This review can’t cover every cooking chapter, so I will choose two more favorites. First, Vibrant Vegetables!. Glancing through the recipes—after reviewing the “why” behind vegetables’ color and nutrition—you can’t help but notice the appealing titles, bound to make kids super interested in eating what they prepare: Carrot Coins, Bright Broccoli, or Asparagus Brushes, for example. The chapter includes recipes for dressings and sauces. Why teach children traditional cooking? The authors state in the introduction, “Children are more likely to eat food they’ve helped prepare. … Knowing how to cook is just as valuable (in life) as knowing how to read or write. Food is one of our basic needs. And the quality of our food has a profound impact on our health and ultimately, the quality of our life. If we don’t teach our children how to cook nourishing foods, who will?”

Keep her words in mind as we take a tour through the lie-flat-on-the-counter, spiral-bound, full-color, charmingly illustrated book. The egg chapter rounds out with delightfully illustrated recipes laid out in simple numbered steps. (I find the simple, illustrated recipe layout to be the best feature of this book—children will be able to follow along easily and with much enjoyment.) Recipes in the Incredible Eggs! chapter include Mexican scrambled eggs, hard and soft boiled eggs, deviled eggs, egg-dipped French toast, pizza omelet and eggnog. The authors chose the recipes well. Think of your children grown up. If they know how to cook eggs in all the ways this book teaches, they’ll be perfectly ready to prepare any essential egg dish for their own future families.

Visit BookSleuth Before we talk about the cooking chapters, let’s review the introduction, kitchen tools and measuring guide sections that start the book off on the right foot. They are helpful for parents and children alike. Rather than jumping on the bandwagon of vegetarianism, nonfat dieting, soy mania, or any of the other eating fads that currently inform our sense of "proper nutrition," this book looks to tradition, to the foods that have provided us with sustenance and strength for centuries, as the basis of a nutritious and health-conscious diet. Provocative but essentially grounded in logic and science, Nourishing Traditions recommends a diet including fats, oils (both in moderation), and whole grains, and warns readers of the dangers of some of the nutritional theories that are currently in vogue.Fallon, Sally with Mary G. Enig ; cover design by Kim Waters Murray ; illustrations by Marion Dearth Sally Fallon Morell is founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation and editor of the Foundation’s quarterly magazine. The Foundation has fifteen thousand members and almost six hundred local chapters worldwide. The Foundation has changed the conversation about what constitutes a healthy diet and has stimulated many fine writers to challenge the legitimacy of the lowfat, low-cholesterol paradigm. The Foundation has also alerted the public to the dangers of modern soy products, especially soy infant formula. The introduction’s “Tips for Cooking with Children” is especially valuable, as the authors share common sense advice around re-organizing your kitchen with your children in mind. (I particularly enjoyed reading this because my co-teacher Jami Delgado and I say the same thing to parents in our online Real Food Kids class at Traditional Cooking School.) Other recommendations cover routines, how to include baby in the cooking, and a fun way to do meal planning with pictures. Sally is also the author of Eat Fat Lose Fat (Penguin, Hudson Street Press, 2005), co-authored with Dr. Mary Enig and Nourishing Broth (Grand Central, 2014), co-authored with Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN. Nourishing Traditions : The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats

Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook That Challenges

Cook with flavor and flair (and ease) with nutritious, high-fiber meals that promote gut health, including 60 completely low-FODMAP recipes. The two top Paleo bloggers have come together to write the ultimate Paleo cookbook with over 100 recipes! Sally’s lifelong interest in the subject of nutrition began in the early 1970s when she read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price. Called the “Charles Darwin of Nutrition,” Price traveled the world over studying healthy primitive populations and their diets. The unforgettable photographs contained in his book document the beautiful facial structure and superb physiques of isolated groups consuming only whole, natural foods. Price noted that all of these diets contained a source of good quality animal fat, which provided numerous factors necessary for the full expression of our genetic potential and optimum health. Sally applied the principles of Dr. Price’s research to the feeding of her own children, and proved for herself that a diet rich in animal fats, and containing the protective factors in old-fashioned foodstuffs like cod liver oil, liver, raw milk, butter and eggs, make for sturdy cheerful children with a high immunity to illness. When the youngest of her four children became old enough to attend school full time, Sally applied her writing skills and training in French and Mediterranean cooking to the subject of nutrition and began work on a comprehensive cookbook that would combine accurate information on nutrition with delicious, practical recipes. She teamed with Mary Enig, PhD, an expert of world renown in the subject of lipids and human nutrition. With over six hundred thousand copies in print, Nourishing Traditions® has stimulated the public health and medical communities to take a new look at the importance of traditional foods and preparation techniques, and to re-examine the many myths about saturated fats and cholesterol. The book places special emphasis on the feeding of babies and children to ensure optimal development during their crucial growing years.The kitchen tools chapter is the first place you (and your children) will really benefit from Angela Eisenbart’s lovely illustrations. As the authors list and explain the simple tools needed to prepare the traditional food recipes in the cookbook, Eisenbart adds the drawings that bring them to life. And I’m very glad the authors tell us we won’t be needing a microwave to prepare anything in this book! She is also president and owner of NewTrends Publishing, serving as editor and publisher of many fine books on diet and health, including other books in the Nourishing Traditions® series. Her most recent titles are The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care (with Thomas S. Cowan, MD) and The Nourishing Traditions Cookbook for Children (with Suzanne Gross).
