It’s time for another giveaway! (By the way,  it’s the last day to enter the US Wellness Meat incredible gift package, so do it now if you haven’t already.) Today we are giving away three books, all of which make great holiday gifts for yourself or for someone else!  If you don’t already own these books, these are also important books to own as they go over the basics of nourishing food. I feel that all three of these books fall into the category of “must read”.

The sponsor of this giveaway is Julie from Cultures for Health. Many of you know that she sells yogurt, kefir, water kefir, kombucha, and other cultures, as well as her wonderful sourdough starters. What you may not know is that she also sells a wide range of other products, like books! Her online book store sells the following three books right along with many other wonderful books, like sourdough baking books, paleo books, and more. By the way, Julie is also just one of the nicest people you could meet. By supporting her business you not only get great products for a good price, but you are also supporting a really great lady!

Here is what we are giving away today.

Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon.

The “mother” book for many. This is the book that revolutionized how we thought of “healthy” food. Butter, cream, lacto-fermented vegetables, grass fed beef and raw milk are some of the nutrient dense foods you will find recipes for here with a lot of information too.
If you could only buy one book, this would be the one to buy. I have read through the entire book several times and every time I read it I learn more!

Real Food: What to Eat and Why by Nina Planck

Nina has done a tremendous job in laying out what the best food choices are for us. She’s easy to understand, and systematic in the best sense. Her book has introduced thousands to “nourishing” real food. This book is a wonderful resource to have on hand. That way when you can’t remember why something is better or have someone ask you a question, you can easily flip through her books for answers.

Wild Fermentation; The Flavor, Nutrition and Craft of Live Cultured Foods

By far my favorite lacto-fermented book that I’ve read. Lacto-fermentation is so important for our health, but you need some good guidance and recipes to be successful. This book will give you both. My reference book whenever I am going to lacto-ferment. I say a must have!

If you would like to win these three books, then please feel free to enter the giveaway by clicking on the link below.

This contest will end on December 16th at 11:59 PM PST. The winner will be chosen via random.org, and will be announced on December the 17th. You must live within the United States to enter this contest.

Like all of the giveaways done with my sponsors I will be receiving a small compensation for hosting this giveaway

Thanks Julie for the giveaway of three very important books!
