I really like this book. It is a needed refresher course for me in the area of traditional foods. Nina Planck touches on many aspects of traditional eating including grassfed beef and butter, pastured chicken and eggs, raw milk, cod liver oil, unrefined sea salt, raw cheeses, chicken stock, raw fruits and vegetables and many other delicious foods. In the Fertility Diet chapter she covers important foods for the father to eat in preparation for conception. I particularly appreciated this because many other books only speak to the mother. In addition to the sections about pre-conception eating, pregnancy eating, and first foods there is also some great information in regards to breastfeeding. Overall a very enjoyable, easy-to-read book. Some may mistake her tone as self-righteous, but it appears to me as the author simply being thorough and concise in a matter that she takes very seriously and believes in very deeply.
