"Nourishing Traditions" by Sally Fallon with Mary G Enig, PhD

My mother bought several copies of this book and gave it to each of us kids (myself, brother, and sister), about 12 years ago when my first daughter was born.  She said - "Read it!"  I did.  It is an incredible reference book and resource for nutritional wellness, and great recipes. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about nutritional do's and don'ts.

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.
