Nourishing Traditions

Written by Grain Free Living

This book is my ultimate bible.  Its not grain-free but contains many grain-free recipes and invaluable information for anyone wanting to optimise a gluten or grain-free lifestyle.  Tips include:

How to soak and dry nuts to produce "crispy nuts" - it neutralises the enzymes inhibitors and maximises digestibility and nutrition.

How to use traditional methods of soaking and fermenting to improve digestibility.

How to make your own yoghurt, kefir and cheese.

Why coconut milk and oil is good for you.

Why butter is better than margarine.

Lots of information that really demonstrates why modern methods and preparing and using grains has led to so many of us with a massive problem!!

Lots and lots of great recipes that are both grain and gluten free. Sally Fallon was one of the first cookbooks to include quinoa recipes, long before it was fashionable.

General Recipe Notes

All recipes measurements are in METRIC. If you wish to convert to imperial please use the convertor tool supplied on each recipe page and use the same (either all metric or all imperial) for the whole recipe.

Some points for American readers on metric measurements are:

1 cup is 250ml which is slightly larger than the imperial 1 cup of an 8 oz measure.  1 tblspoon is 20 ml which again is slightly larger than the imperial tablespoon measure of 15ml.  In most recipes this should not make too much of a difference, especially if you exchange all metric for all imperial.  Cookie recipes need accuracy however so if your cookies are not turning out (either too soft or spreading too much) the problem will most likely be the measures.

Nearly all recipes are cooked in a moderate 180°C oven, which is 350 °F / Gas 4.
