“I have to recommend . . . Nourishing Traditions® by Sally Fallon. The first chapter of her book is so right on target that I feel a little guilty for taking her ideas.”

—Robert C. Atkins, MD

This well-researched, thought-provoking guide to traditional foods contains a startling message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels. Sally Fallon dispels the myths of the current low-fat fad in this practical, entertaining guide to a can-do diet that is both nutritious and delicious.

Topics include the health benefits of traditional fats and oils (including butter and coconut oil); dangers of vegetarianism; problems with modern soy foods; health benefits of sauces and gravies; proper preparation of whole grain products; pros and cons of milk consumption; easy-to-prepare enzyme enriched condiments and beverages; and appropriate diets for babies and children.

Nourishing Traditions® has sold 650,000 copies

“I wanted to share with you this photo of my cook book, Nourishing Traditions®. I was gifted this book when I was in my mid twenties and it changed my life and the life of my children. After two vegetarian pregnancies and my son’s teeth crumbling out of his mouth, we finally had found the path towards whole nourishment. I am still healing from those years of deprivation, but doing well and my sons are strong healthy young men. I decided to buy myself a new copy of nourishing traditions for my 43rd birthday as I keep loosing the corn bread page which is one of my favorite. Thank you and thanks to our ancestors for collecting and embodying good ways. ” — Nastasha Mcquirk
