Weston A Price London Chapter: Wise Traditions Festival for Traditional Nutrition

I've never really been much of a milk drinker. Despite piling on enough butter to leave teethmarks, my regular feastings on cheese, and a big taste for fresh yoghurt, milk has just never quite made it onto my personal hit list. It's essential in my tea, and a most welcome addition to the honey in my porridge. But drinking milk by itself has, for some reason, never really been my thing.
Since first encountering the Weston A Price Foundation and reading more and more about Real Food and how far our contemporary diets have diverged from a diet that provides us with what our bodies actually require, I've read more and more about raw milk and the wonders it can do for our bodies. In its natural state, with all its enzymes and nutrients intact, raw milk is a true wonder food, full of goodness for old and young. Sadly, despite numerous attempts, I have been as yet unable to track down raw milk in Spain.

Caldo de pollo

Hace unas semanas, hice una sopa de pollo y verduras, del tipo que te ayuda a recuperar después de estar enfermo... o tener mucho estrés, o terminar una relación, o ver más nubes que sol. Una sopa así, cocida al fuego lento durante una tarde entera no sólo sabe bien, sino también recibe bastantes horas de calorcito suave para que salga la gelatina de los huesos del pollo (y del jamón que usé); esto deja las vitaminas en una forma muy accesible y ayuda el proceso de digestión.
