If you’re looking for wholesome, natural recipes based on real and traditional foods look no further.   What would all that talk about real food, traditional foods, wholesome fats, benefits of fermentation and other goodness be without clear, simple recipes to help you along the way?   If you enjoy these recipes, please checkout the Nourished Kitchen monthly recipe cards which are delivered every month.

	Appetizers & Starters Wholesome, nourishing starters to begin your meal featuring natural, unrefined ingredients: roasted garlic with thyme and lard, potted cheddar with bacon and shallots, sage and chicken liver pâté and other healthy appetizers.
	Fermented & Cultured Foods Fermented and cultured foods are rich in probiotics, enzymes, vitamins and minerals.   I use a vegetable fermenter for my probiotic foods as fermentation is much more reliable and less likely to become contaminated, you can buy these kitchen gadgets online (see sources).   For more great probiotic recipes, check out my e-book: Get Cultured!
	Breakfasts Wholesome, nourishing breakfast foods featuring soaked and sprouted grains, pastured eggs and bacon, sustainably grown produce and other nourishing, nutrient-dense ingredients.
	Condiments, Sauces & Seasonings A good sauce can make or break a meal – providing nutrients, moisture, flavor and nourishment.   Many sauces incorporate deeply nourishing foods such as mineral-rich stocks or vitamin-rich egg yolk, providing a much-needed nutritional boost to the meal.
	Meat, Poultry & Fish Healthy meat recipes prepared from nourishing, nutrient-dense animal foods like grass-finished meat, pasture-raised chickens and pork as well as wild-caught fish.   Take care to choose animals that are raised on pasture (see sources).
	Grains & Starchy Sides Grains and starches can add variety and enjoyment to the supper table, but it’s critical that you prepare them properly to maximize nutrient density.
	Salads & Salad Dressings Simple salads of fresh greens and vegetables and savory dressings featuring wholesome fats such as extra virgin unrefined olive oil.
	Soups & Stews Healthy soups and stews  are deeply nourishing and satisfying, plus they can be made on the cheap!   A remarkably good way to use wholesome, mineral-rich bone broths.
	Vegetable Side Dishes Vegetables, more than any other class of food, comprise the cornerstone of a nourishing and wholesome diet.   They provide a variety of essential micronutrients – vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Take care to serve them with a nourishing fat which will enable you to better absorb nutrients like vitamin A and vitamin K1
	Sweet Things & Desserts Eating a wholesome, natural diet doesn’t preclude the occasional sweet or dessert.   Try these wholesome, healthy dessert recipes that make use of natural, nourishing ingredients like natural sweeteners, whole and sprouted grains.
