Nature Had It First

Recipes from our kitchen

Mediterranean and Blue Zone style, built on beans, wild fish, olive oil, vegetables, fermented foods and loose-leaf tea. Organic on everything, and pasture-raised or wild-caught for animal foods.

Our family food rulesA spoonful of raw sauerkraut with every protein. Wild salmon or sardines twice a week. Beans most days. Homemade kefir, not store-bought. Loose-leaf tea instead of bags.
