Nourishing Broth:
An Old-Fashioned Remedy for the Modern World
Nourishing Traditions examines where the modern food industry has hurt our nutrition and health through over-processed foods and fears of animal fats. Nourishing Broth will continue the look at the culinary practices of our ancestors, and it will explain the immense health benefits of homemade bone broth due to the gelatin and collagen that is present in real bone broth (vs. broth made from powders).
Nourishing Broth will explore the science behind broth's unique combination of amino acids, minerals and cartilage compounds. Some of the benefits of such broth are: quick recovery from illness and surgery, the healing of pain and inflammation, increased energy from better digestion, lessening of allergies, recovery from Crohn's disease and a lessening of eating disorders because the fully balanced nutritional program lessens the cravings which make most diets fail. Diseases that bone broth can help heal are: Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Psoriasis, Infectious Disease, digestive disorders, even Cancer, and it can help our skin and bones stay young.
In addition, the book will serve as a handbook for various techniques for making broths-from simple chicken broth to rich, clear consomme, to shrimp shell stock. A variety of interesting stock-based recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner from throughout the world will complete the collection and help everyone get more nutrition in their diet.

Morell (Nourishing Traditions) and Daniel (The Whole Soy Story) are both affiliated with the controversial Weston A. Price Foundation, which advocates for what they call a "traditional diet," one that disagrees with popular nutritional theories about the consumption of certain fats, unpasteurized milk, and the benefits of a vegetarian or vegan diet. This book focuses on broth and includes coverage of the folklore and history of broth and broth making. There are several chapters dedicated to the authors' beliefs about the medicinal benefits of broth for various ailments and conditions. Whether readers agree with the authors' opinions or not, the book's diverse dishes, broth-making tips, and recipes for soups, gravies, and sauces that incorporate broth are useful and appealing. VERDICT While the content is narrow and the authors have their detractors, there is value in the content. The text provides captivating background information about a seemingly simple staple of cooking and the recipes are accessible.--Ann Wilberton, Pace Univ., New York
