You know, much as I am raving about the Sue Gregg book, I still think Nourishing Traditions is just such an incredible resource and it has so much good teaching in it-- it is very foundational. It explains a lot about grains as well, and has many of it's own soaking recipes. It's just that the overall message of nutrition in Nourishing Traditions is sooo important that I would have to say I would get that one first. However, if you would like to start out a bit slower and just learn about and really master one area of healthier eating first (which may be a very good idea, rather than trying to do and learn everything at once), then maybe the Sue Gregg book is a better start. It will really explain the soaking process (and the need for it), introduce new and alternative grains to you, and it gives very easy to use and predictable recipes, so you will feel successful right away. Ultimately, get them both! LOL! So glad you're pursuing learning more about this- good for you! Oh Stephanie, that's a tough question!

I got the Sue Gregg cookbook a few weeks ago also. I haven't made anything in it yet, but I'm planning on it soon. Have a great week. Oh your week sounds so good!

This is something I am really going to work on incorporating into our diets on a regular basis. I love your site, it has been so helpful and inspiring to me already! Thank you!
