We try to make probiotic, fermented foods part of each meal.   It may be yogurt or kefir in the morning, real pickles at lunch or sauerruben with supper.   Regardless of which food makes it to our plate, the traditional methods of pickling and fermenting foods play a critical role in our kitchen.   Initially, I used mason jars but suffered a rate of failure that had me looking elsewhere.   We purchased one and, later, two of these kimchi makers and have never had a failed batch since.   Indeed, we’ve used it to make sauerruben, sauerkraut, kimchi, Moroccan preserved lemons, real pickles, sour beets and all sorts of probiotic goodies.   That’s why I am thrilled to have teamed up with the Raw Diet Store to giveaway a kimchi maker and an accompanying recipe book at Nourished Kitchen.

]]> http://nourishedkitchen.com/final-cookingtf-giveaway/feed/ 32 Review: Cooking Traditional Foodshttp://nourishedkitchen.com/review-cooking-traditional-foods/ http://nourishedkitchen.com/review-cooking-traditional-foods/#comments Wed, 08 Apr 2009 02:00:14 +0000 Jenny http://nourishedkitchen.com/?p=603 I recently enjoyed the pleasure of connecting with Kerry Ann Foster of CookingTF.com – a site devoted to natural family living, traditional foods and feeding your family well.   CookingTF.com provides a unique service to harried parents and traditional food lovers alike: weekly menu mailers complete with recipes, shopping lists and a real food-friendly brand guide.   Furthermore, her site is a wealth of other information including an active community message board in which members exchange information, answer questions and connect with other health- and wellness-minded folks.

Originally, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the menu mailers … that is, before I saw them and used them.

You see, cooking wholesome and nutritious meals – especially meals that require additional prep work as many of traditional foods do – can be daunting.   It takes planning, and considerably more planning than meals focused on the Standard American Diet require.   Soaking grains.   Planning which vegetables to serve to ensure your kids receive optimal nutrition.   Putting together wholesome, but natural desserts.   This all takes time, planning and effort. Much of that is lost on newcomers to the traditional and real foods movements.   It’s overwhelming to say the least.

Each weekly menu provides six well-rounded, healthy dinners focused on real food. The packet contains not only a dinner plan for the next week, but also a shopping list, a checklist outlining what you need to prepare for that day whether it’s thawing chicken for Curried Chicken or soaking pinto beans for refried beans.   Furthermore, the packet provides a quick and easy reference guide to fruits and vegetables in season for that month as well as a reference guide to optimal, real food-friendly brands like Thai Kitchen, Bragg’s   or Wilderness Family Naturals.

The greatest value is that these weekly menu subscriptions as well as her recipe archive take the extra effort and guess work out of cooking wholesome, traditional foods for your family.   It’s hard, especially if you’re a working parent like I am, to compile this yourself: meal planning, brand analyzing, setting up your to-do list and still feed your family well; however, the menus that CookingTF.com provides remove that extra effort.   The end result is that your family eats well, and you save both time and money by not making last minute trips to the store for something you’ve forgotten or giving it all up to go eat out because you have no idea what to put on the supper plate that night.   Furthermore, the subscriptions are affordable.   For as little as $6 ($5.40 for Nourished Kitchen Readers), you can subscribe to receive a month’s worth of weekly menu mailers.   It’s a remarkably affordable value and it save considerable time and effort on your part.

Between working full-time, mothering my son and helping my husband to run our farmers market … oh yeah … and blogging too, I can really see the value in CookingTF.com‘s service.   Furthermore, if I had known about this service when I first began my journey into real food, it would have saved me a lot of trial-and-error in terms of learning which nourishing foods to prepare and how to prepare them.   Plus, there’s just some really good recipes like the Chocolate Pudding featuring wholesome ingredients like dates, avocado and coconut oil.   It really is good food.

At any rate, please check out a sample menu package available online.   There’s also a   10% discount for Nourished Kitchen readers so please check out all the services CookingTF.com offers – take advantage of the discount.   It’s a good deal.   Also, please stop back by here on Thursday when we’ll be conducting a CookingTF.com giveaway.

]]> http://nourishedkitchen.com/review-cooking-traditional-foods/feed/ 4 Full Moon Feast: Review & Giveawayhttp://nourishedkitchen.com/full-moon-feast-review/ http://nourishedkitchen.com/full-moon-feast-review/#comments Tue, 24 Mar 2009 08:30:54 +0000 Jenny http://nourishedkitchen.com/?p=538 Full Moon Feast: The Review

Full Moon Feast: The Hunger for Connection details a love of food, of wellness and most importantly – revives a traditional connection between food and nature’s rhythms.   Written by food activist and chef Jessica Prentice and published by the folks at Chelsea Green Publishing which also publishes titles like Wild Fermentation, Fresh Food from Small Spaces and Renewing America’s Food Traditions, Full Moon Feast is a classic read for the growing traditional and slow food movements.

More than a cookbook and more than a simple book about the love of food, Full Moon Feast is part food philosophy, part autobiography and peppered with   nourishing recipes.       Prentice extols the virtue of reclaiming lost connections and of finding value in the food traditions that nourished our ancestors.   Like so many traditional food activists, Prentice is a former vegan who healed herself through traditional foods including animal foods and wholesome fats.

Each chapter of Full Moon Feast addresses the seasonality of foods from the Hunger Moon of late winter when food is scarce to the Milk Moon which celebrates the value inherent in sweet, raw milks and creams.   Indeed, chapter by chapter, Prentice re-examines our lost connection to the earth, its rhythms and the food it provides.   She delves into food history and traditions throughout the world and the effects of a modern diet on both our bodies and our spirits.   A remarkable advocate of local food, Prentice explains the value inherent in seasonal eating and of understanding where our food comes from.

  • Stumble this giveaway
  • Tweet this giveaway
  • Email a friend about the giveaway

Each chapter brings forth more information about traditional foods and the manner in which food has shaped human culture worldwide.   In the Egg Moon, Prentice outlines the differences between conventionally produced eggs from battery-cage hens versus farm-fresh eggs produced by Joel Salatin’s model of rotating cows and hens on pasture.   She also introduces us to the manner in which the Inuit traditionally dried fresh salmon roe and the nutritive value of all eggs.   In the Wort Moon, she sheds light on traditional ales and fermented drinks made from medicinal and flavorful herbs.   All in all, she addresses a special food in each of her thirteen chapters – completing the cycle with nourishing recipes that turn food philosophy into practical knowledge.

Even more valuable, Prentice outlines her own struggles with food: the self-denial and punitive philosophy accompanying the modern low-fat “health” food craze that leaves us unsated.   She outlines how a rigid adherence to a misguided, low-fat and animal-food-free diet can prove unhealthful in the end and how reclaiming traditional foods – in all their fermented, fat-dripping glory – can prove as wholesome and healthful for us as they did for our ancestors.

It truly is a remarkable book – and a must-read for anyone just becoming acquainted with the value of real food.   Fulfilling the promise of its title, Full Moon Feast truly satisfies a hunger for connection.

Full Moon Feast: the Giveaway

Shortly after I received a copy of Full Moon Feast from Chelsea Green, another copy landed in my lap leaving two on my bookshelf.   So, I’m happily sharing the love and giving away that second, clean copy.   Everyone can enter, and anyone can win.   There’s five ways to enter the contest, so up your odds!

Enter to Win a Copy of Full Moon Feast from the Nourished Kitchen:

  • Comment on this post
  • Link to this giveaway from your blog
  • Stumble this giveaway
  • Tweet this giveaway
  • Email a friend about the giveaway

If you win please keep in mind that I work full-time and mother full-time and, with my husband, run a farmers market what seems like full-time even in the off-season so it might take me several weeks to pop your copy in the mail.   If you just can’t stand the anticipation, you can purchase a copy of Full Moon Feast and support Nourished Kitchen at the same time or visit your library to get a copy on loan.   The winner will be selected at random next Tuesday so enter away.
