Riassunto

The basics of why and how of favorite traditional food preparation techniques and recipes, from making yogurt at home, to sauerkraut, bone broth, soaking grains, nuts, seeds and beans. With beautiful and descriptive photography, Sarica shares her favorite uses of these methods, with an eye to the nutritional reasons for doing so. From Sally Fallon Morell and the Weston A. Price Foundation: "We’ve seen a profusion of cookbooks about traditional diets in the last few years, most of them with many excellent qualities, but The Funky Kitchen by Phoenix chapter leader Sarica Cernohous fills a real need. Rather than supply us with a large number of recipes, Cernohous focuses on the core principles, giving detailed explanations and instructions for each, along with a few well-illustrated recipes...A big Thumbs UP to The Funky Kitchen, a real contribution to those of us who like to escape to the kitchen!" The book offers unique ingredient suggestions that Sarica has learned through her years of making traditionally-prepared foods in her own kitchen. Additionally, her education and experience as a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine infuses different elements of her writing, imparting its theoretical basis for some of the techniques shared. A delightful foreword from Dr. Jack Tips sheds light on why these methods are so needed in the modern setting. It is an easy-to-follow primer on these basic techniques, so that you can immediately begin using them in your own kitchen.

L'autore:

Sarica Cernohous is a licensed acupuncturist in Arizona and California, having attained her Master's of Science degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in 2001. Her formal education encompassed not only acupuncture, but Chinese Herbal medicine, the unique and involved theoretical construct of Asian medicine, western biomedicine, and both western and eastern perspectives on nutrition. It was during this experience that she began to grasp a much deeper appreciation for the traditional ways of studying and implementing whole food nutrition. Some years into practicing, she came upon what for her would be a transformative book, The Maker's Diet by Jordan Rubin. The information in the book--based upon the concept that we should eat foods more in alignment with the foods our ancestors consumed--became a catalyst for even greater change in her approach to nutrition, and her respect for the power it holds. She began to see her kitchen not as a place of sheer consumption, but rather, a venue for creation and study. Beginning with using alternatives to pasteurized cow's milk, then moving into making yogurt and kefir, and next onto soaking and sprouting beans, her experiences in traditional methods sparked further questions and continued interest in their functionality. And this interest continues today! As past-chapter leader for the Weston A. Price Foundation and board member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, she now teaches on these methods and the reasons for them, notably in her course, "Fresh, Fun and Flavorful in The Funky Kitchen" (funkykitchenfresh.com) From fermentation and culturing, to low-heat dehydrating, to soaking and sprouting and the use of bone broths, her commitment and passionate respect for these methods have become a cornerstone of her practice. She uses these techniques daily in the care of her family, and is always building upon the knowledge she has gleaned both formally and on the counters of her kitchen, to push the envelop of understanding about the functionality of these techniques in our busy, modern lives. She shares many of her recipes and insights on her website, naturallylivingtoday.com.
