Back to Butter

Author: Molly Chester
Blog: Organic Spark

What if butter and other “banished” foods like eggs, cream, and bacon had the inherent potential to restore our health and well-being—and that of future generations? It’s a pretty good question, isn’t it?

Traditional foods are the real, whole, unprocessed ingredients of our ancestors’ kitchens. These simple foods nourished us for centuries, before modern food processing turned our health upside down. Their value is once again gaining recognition.

Traditional foods include:

• Grass-fed Meats and Wild-caught Seafood
• Organic, Farm Fresh Produce
• Pastured, Whole, and Raw Dairy
• Healthy Saturated Fats and Unrefined Oils
• Soaked and/or Sprouted Grains, Nuts, Seeds, and Beans
• Fermented Vegetables and Cultured Condiments
• Unrefined Sweeteners

Back to Butter explores these topics and more. Beautifully photographed and divided into two parts, Part I teaches you how to stock a traditional foods pantry and offers step-by-step guidance on the techniques and preparation methods practiced in traditional foods—including sprouting, soaking, and fermenting. Part II showcases more than 75 mouthwatering recipes, from main meals to side dishes, desserts, and more, including:

• Cultured Cream Cheese Olive Dip
• Red Rice Salad with Cumin Dressing
• Millet Salmon Cakes with Creamy Dipping Sauce
• Meatballs and Mushroom Gravy
• Caramelized Beets with Fresh Chives
• Fresh Corn Pudding
• Red Cabbage Kraut with Fresh Dill
• Sourdough Bread Pudding with Raisin
• Crispy Peach Cobbler

Learn just how nourishing and delicious it can be to revisit the wisdom of our ancestors and return Back to Butter.

Brown Eggs and Jam Jars

Aimée’s rural homesteader upbringing, years working as a professional chef, and everyday life as a busy mom led to the creation of the hugely popular blog Simple Bites.

Brown Eggs and Jam Jars will inspire you to connect your family and food right where you are in life—from growing your own tomatoes to making a batch of homemade cookies. Enjoy your urban homestead.

The Grain-Free Family Table

Author: Carrie Vitt
Blog: Deliciously Organic

Check out a past guest post from Carrie, Brownie Tart, and my review of her first cookbook, Deliciously Organic (plus recipe for Butternut Squash, Pomegranate and Roquefort Salad)

Paleo-friendly meets family-friendly in this beautiful, full-color how-to guide and cookbook that teaches readers how to cut all grains out of their diets without giving up flavorful, delicious food.

When Carrie Vitt was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, she was put on an elimination diet to cleanse her system that forbid gluten and grains. Failing to find recipes that followed her strict diet guidelines and still were delicious, she began experimenting in her own kitchen. Her organic, grain-free creations not only satisfied her own palate, but pleased friends and family as well. While she eventually reversed her thyroid disease, she continues to champion eating grain free.

In this beautiful full-color cookbook, she provides delicious dishes for a workable organic, grain-free lifestyle. Included are a diverse range of recipes for everything from pie crust and homemade nut butter to Pork Carnitas Breakfast Crepe Tacos and Grain-Free Biscuits, Avocado with Mango-Shrimp Salsa, Roasted Garlic Alfredo with Chicken and Vegetables, and Cauliflower “Fried Rice.” Here, too, are kid-friendly recipes such as Squash Macaroni and Cheese, Slice-and-Bake Cookies, and a Classic Birthday Cake with Buttercream Frosting.

In addition to sources for healthy ingredients, time-saving ideas, health tips, and 125 easy grain-free recipes, there are also simple dairy-free and Paleo adaptations for each recipe (it’s as simple as choosing coconut oil in place of butter!). Written in Carrie’s warm, inviting style, this helpful sourcebook is the perfect entrée to a healthy, nourishing diet that brings grain-free eating into the mainstream.
