This book gives lasting enjoyment December 2, 2008
Ramiel Nagel (San Jose, USA)
Not only is Nourishing Traditions a well researched educational book, but it also contains practical useful resources that can help make your life more enjoyable, called recipes!
One of the best recipes in the book is chocolate rugelach. It is also called "Cream Cheese Breakfast Pastry." The recipe uses cream cheese, butter and fresh ground flour to make the most delicious dessert.
Another favorite recipe is lamb sausage, it tastes really good and has a good mixture of spices.
Finally our family has enjoyed making the marinated raw fish dishes, like ceviche and pickled salmon. These dishes help preserve your food and at the same time increase its ability to be digested.
The book also contains vital recipes such as bone broths, and teaches people how to prepare their food in traditional ways to enhance digestion and your health.
Usually books are just filled with entertainment and useful information, but how rare is it to find a book that can help you enjoy life more with delicious recipes.
This review is by Ramiel Nagel author of Healing Our Children: Because Your New Baby Matters! Sacred Wisdom for Preconception, Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting (ages 0-6) & Cure Tooth Decay: Heal and Prevent Cavities with Nutrition (First Edition).
The Key to Health is Your Digestive System November 25, 2008

This book rightly challenges politically correct nutrition, ie low fat is good (it's not, it'll make you depressed - what you need are good fats, like butter and olive oil), milk is bad for you (it's not, you just need to drink organic fermented/cultured products like yoghurt, buttermilk, creme fraiche etc). I have changed our diet (because what I eat, DH eats ) and our digestion has massively improved. I even have a pulse when I go to see the acpuncturist now - in chinese medicine the strength or lack of your pulse is an indicator of your health. Take a look at your tongue; if it's yellow and furry, has teeth marks down the sides and/or cracks in the tongue then you've got issues.
The key to health is your digestive system and this book unlocks the secrets to getting it right!
Buy it now and you'll be on the road to excellent health!
Having followed a similar diet... August 10, 2008

Having closely followed a similar diet for the past 10 years, and aged 77, I can confirm this book's dietary benefits and how it can restore health and the feel-good factor to one's life. Bruce Fife's book, 'Saturated Fat May Save Your Life' is complimentary to it. Anyone who fails to recognise the benefits of the recommendations in this book is speaking from ignorance. To anyone interested in long-term health benefits then it is a 'must read'! (Read too Dr Mary Enig's interesting article, 'The Oiling of America' which is on the Internet). At my advanced stage to life I am in excellent health without aches or pains, and can run as fast as my Norfolk terriers, still retain a healthy libido, and continue to believe that I have a future; does anyone require more reassurance? It is carbohydrates, especially of the grain variety that furrs arteries, and it is polyunsaturated fats, especially vegetable oils, that are potent immune suppressors, and the rest is propaganda!
Now where is my delicious streaky-bacon, fresh genuine free-ranging hen's eggs, and fried in dripping?
 Oh dear...sorry to disagree, but February 4, 2008

this is the biggest load of pseudo-scientific claptrap that I have read in a very long time.
Some of the recipes may be OK (but I have my doubts - sweet and sour chicken with 250 ml vinegar, 250ml lemon juice and no sweetening?) but the side notes on each page are nonsensical at best, and actively misleading at worst.
I bought this book expecting sensible, serious commentary, but I've been very, very disappointed.
The bible of nutritional and recipe books! May 30, 2007
Craig Burton (UK)

This would be my most frequently opened book. It's the best compilation of nutritional knowledge around and an excellent resource with over 700 recipes from ancient cultures. A must have for every household!
It is the sort of book that you find yourself buying for family and friends because its message and contents can be life changing.
