The recipes you prepare can be as simple or as sophisticated as you want.
You can simply decide to throw a piece of meat in the oven, pan or crock-pot and then serve it with a side of your favorite roasted or steamed vegetables and a big dollop of ghee, lard or coconut oil.
On the opposite side, if you want to impress guests or create something very special for your loved ones, there are endless possibilities for soups, salads, stews, omelets, curries, sauces, roasts, … You can use herbs and spices like basil, dill, garlic and ginger to create delicious marinades and vinaigrettes.
Sometimes you simply need a quick fix, snack or lunch idea when you’re on the go and some of the recipes will help you with the preparation of these so you never run out of food ideas and risk indulging in unhealthy choices.
Some of the cooking techniques that our mother and grand-mothers used everyday are now lost and might seem difficult to master. Once you become used to them though, they can rapidly become part or your routine and homemade food becomes enjoyment instead of a chore. Making homemade stock, mayonnaise, pâtés, salsa, clarifying butter, lacto-fermenting vegetables and cooking with organs or whole fishes are some examples.
Some of the food showcased here offer some flavors that most people eating a standard American diet will enjoy only very rarely. Some examples are bone marrow, squid, venison, liver pâté, rabbit, tongue, heart, sauerkraut and coconut.
I’ll also feature recipes that will be recreations and adaptations of some of the comfort food staples like spaghetti, Shepperd’s pie or pizza because there’s not reason not to enjoy them when prepared with healthy ingredients.
