Later this month I’ll be giving a talk at the August meeting of the Queens Holistic Moms about eating and preparing real, traditional food, entitled Traditional Food for Urban Families. Specifics include how to:
- Soak beans and lentils for increased nutrient assimilation
- Sprout and soak grains for easier digestion
- Lacto-ferment produce to boost the immune system
I’ll also bring up the subject of raw milk, traditional sugar alternatives, pastured meats, and encourage people to eat a more unrefined diet in general.
And although I do not have children, I have a very busy life schedule, from my day job, to my work with my CSA; from running to writing; to spending time with family and friends, and more (including getting back to playing music)! So, I know what it’s like to be pressed for time. My goal is to help people understand that eating whole, real, traditional food is totally possible even with time constraints and demands, with a little planning.
If any of you reading this are local, please join us! Women and men are welcome, as are those of you that don’t have kids. You can RSVP here. Here are the logistical details:
