Why connecting with our food matters, with Alison Kay of Ancestral Kitchen

"But who actually has the time to cook this way?" Our guest Alison Kay hears that a lot when she shares about her passion for ancestral eating. But for Alison, sourcing ingredients locally and preparing it in a way inspired by our great-great-grandmothers isn't a chore or a time-suck, and it's definitely not romanticizing the past. Instead, it's a crucial way she expresses her creativity, connects with her community and the land around her, and cares for herself and her family.

In this episode, a continuation of our conversation from Episode 36, Alison explains why this way of cooking and eating has been so life-changing for her, and offers a close-up look at how she actually incorporates ancestral philosophies into her modern kitchen.

Episode 36 of The Kettle: What is eating "ancestrally" with Alison Kay of Ancestral Kitchen. This is the first half of this conversation.

A couple episodes of the Ancestral Kitchen Podcast that I love:

#70 Fermenting Oats - this is the episode that convinced me to start souring my morning oatmeal!

#66 50 Ways To Save Money On An Ancestral Diet - a great starting point if you're just learning about ancestral eating; especially if you're concerned about your budget.
