Nourishing Traditions

I know that a lot of people already have this book, but if you don't I would definitely suggest it.  It is a great book about the myths of nutrition provided by our government, companies and scientists of today.  I already cooked quite a bit like the book suggested...whole grains, as much organic as I can afford, make my own bread, etc.  However, I've never done any lacto-fermentation or preserved products using whey, so we'll see how that goes.

So, at the moment I have some chicken stock on the stove.  The aroma is permeating our little apartment making it seem at least a little homey.  Most of the ingredients are organic...in fact everything, but the leek and bay leaves are.  YEA! 

I've been trying to buy more organic.  It's a little harder on the pocketbook if you look at it from the "grocery" side of it.  BUT we have been in the bad habit of eating out and I figure the money I spend on the organic food is many times better than the money spent on eating less-than-excellent food somewhere other than at home.

I agree...I like the 'information' in the front of the book, but I am not too sold on the whole soaking method.
