Okay everyone, the day has finally come! This is our biggest giveaway yet, and soon-to-be annual Butter Believer holiday tradition. In 25 days, we will be giving away…

Two copies of Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon — to Two Winners!

That’s right — four copies will be given away of the Real Food “bible,” authored by the Queen of Butter herself! Two winners will receive one copy to keep, and one to give away as a holiday gift for someone they love.

Last year, my mother gave me my copy of Nourishing Traditions for Christmas — and it changed my life forever. It was truly the best Christmas gift I had ever received. I already had an interest in holistic health and nutrition, but this was a game-changer. NT inspired me to give my diet, and therefore my health, a complete turn-around, and not only that, but to make it a life mission to inspire others to do the same. I can’t say enough about what a huge potential this book has to make a lasting impact on your health for the rest of your life. I wish every family in America had a copy!

So, I want to give my readers an opportunity to experience the life-changing effects of having a Nourishing Traditions kitchen, and pay it forward to someone else!

What’s in Nourishing Traditions?

If you’re not yet familiar with the book, Nourishing Traditions is considered by many a Real Food folk to be one of the most important tools in your kitchen. It’s an educational foray into what we eat and why, and the ultimate guide to transforming your and your family’s health through real, whole, traditional foods. If you want to be a Real Foodie, you need this book!

In Nourishing Traditions, you will learn:

  • Why healthy fats are the cornerstones of a healthy diet
  • Why modern, industrialized foods are to blame for chronic, degenerative diseases and our unhealthy population
  • What real healthy nutrition is, and why the politically-correct “Diet Dictocrats” have it all wrong
  • Which foods to obtain critical vitamins and minerals from, and how to prepare them
  • Cooking basics and how to stock your kitchen with everything you’ll need to prepare healthy meals at home
  • The benefits of each of the food groups, and how you can make the most of them
  • How to save money by making commonly store-bought items in your home: bread, cheese, stock, and more!
  • How to use whole grains in a way that is truly healthy
  • How to make delicious cookies, cakes, and pies with no refined sugar
  • How to make probiotic food — yogurt, fermented foods, and beverages
  • How to make your own condiments such as ketchup, mayo, and salad dressings
  • How to properly feed babies for optimal health and development, including the ideal substitute for breast milk for those struggling with lactation
  • Over 700 recipes to make nourishing, traditional foods your family will love! (With these charming little hand-drawn pictures for many of them — so cute!)

I just cannot get enough of this book! It’s always within reach in my home. Even when I’m not using it for recipes to make, I love flipping through the pages to find these little anecdotes on the sides — stories, excerpts, and tidbits of information that tell so much about the current state of our food system and why true health comes from traditional foods. Like this one, featured on the side of page 253:

How cool is that?! There’s something new to learn on every page!

25 Days of Nourishing Traditions

The giveaway will run for 25 days. To celebrate, starting today, and for each and every day until it ends, you will find one recipe here on the blog that I have cooked from NT!

Yes! Each of the 25 days that this giveaway will run, I’ll be posting an NT recipe that I have tried myself, and a little review about how we liked it! I hope this will help everyone who isn’t familiar with the book to see that although it looks a little intimidating, even a cooking newb like me can handle Nourishing Traditions recipes just fine!

Here’s what we’ve tried so far:

  1. Onion-Cranberry Compote
  2. Sweet Potato Puree
  3. Ginger Carrots
  4. Stuffed Peppers
  5. Turkey Stock
  6. Coconut Turkey Soup
  7. Carrots Vichy
  8. Breaded Whitefish
  9. Moussaka Eggplant Casserole
  10. Breaded Chicken Breasts
  11. Baked Custard
  12. Basic Dressing
  13. Crispy Walnuts
  14. Zucchini Cakes 
  15. Roman Egg Soup
  16. Pineapple Vinegar
  17. Raisin Nut Cookies
  18. Roast Chicken
  19. Fruit Custard Cake
  20. Beurre Blanc
  21. Fermented Fish Sauce
  22. Fruit Spice Muffins
  23. Ginger Tea
  24. Potato Cheese
  25. Sauteed Apples

Win Your Two Copies of NT!

Now that I’ve hopefully convinced you that EVERYONE needs this book, you can enter to win your copy of Nourishing Traditions (plus one for a friend!) right here. The giveaway will run for the next 25 days, ending at 11:59 pm PST on December 17th, 2011. The winners will be announced on December 18th, and the books will be shipped out that day (as soon as I get in contact with the winners), just in time for Christmas! (The last day to ship items from Amazon to reach your home by Christmas Eve is December 19th, so I thought I’d give us an extra day of wiggle-room.)

A total retail value of $108.00 in prizes will be given away. Anyone is welcome to enter, but only winners in the US are eligible to have the prizes shipped to them. Winners from outside of the US will receive an Amazon gift card for the value of the prizes on Amazon.com at that time. The winners will be chosen via Random.org and will have 24 hours to contact me with their name, shipping address, and phone number so I can send them their prizes!

Remember to check back each day to see a new recipe I’ve cooked from Nourishing Traditions, and best of luck to everyone who enters!

  475. I just read in Prevention this month to ditch the vegetable oil spreads and use butter for brain health. I was glad they were finally on board. Then their web site tip of the day was to “replace heart clogging butter with good for you MUFA canola oil spread” It’s obvious why people are so confused. Im subscribing to your newsletter, because I love my butter!
