Nourishing Traditions
by Sally Fallon with Mary G. Enig
The Weston A. Price cookbook: bone broths, fermented foods, soaked grains, raw dairy and animal fats, with long sidebars attacking mainstream nutrition. Influential in the traditional-foods movement; many health claims are contested, and the recipes stand on their own.
Read it if…
you want traditional preparation methods, fermenting, soaking, broth, in one reference.

Skip it if…
you want consensus nutrition guidance; the sidebars are polemical.
Try instead: Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy →
Three things you will actually use
- Traditional preparation improves digestibility.
- Ferment and soak.
- Judge the recipes separately from the claims.
Do this first
Make one batch of bone broth and one fermented vegetable this week.
Our verdict
Influential, polemical, useful recipes.
