I do, but I'm pretty relaxed about it. Otherwise, the kids start calling me "the food nazi"
Since we have raw goat milk from our own goats, free range fresh eggs daily, and are able to raise our own meat, plus hunting in the fall, have access to farm fresh produce, and are able to buy grians to grind in bulk, it's fairly easy for us. Some folks don't have that kind of access, nor are they home all day like me, so it's hard. Slow food, all from scratch takes time. Time is something people don't have any more it seems. It requires, in my opinion, a slow lifestyle.
If you can, do it! Traditional lifestyles and food are more healthy and taste better in my opinion.

We do a modified version of it most of the time. Kerir going all the time, use butter, olive, coconut oil for fats along with grease from good bacon. Try to soak the flour for weekly bread, but sometimes forget.
Cook everything from scratch, but make in quanity & freeze. This really helps.
We're not religious about following NT, but I try & think...what would my Great Grandma cook?

Can someone give me the run down on nourishing traditions? I would like to learn more. Is it worth my $$$ to buy the book? Thanks.

it is certantly worth your money for the info in it alone. i left mine as a "remember me gift" with a dear friend and will probably buy another one when i catch up with myself.

I've owned the book for several years now, and there's a ton of great information in it! Granted, I don't think it's realistic to expect to follow it strictly, but it's definitely worthwhile to have on your (cook)book shelf! I find myself turning to it for many "basic" ideas, as well as for those times when I do actually have the extra time to devote in the kitchen.
