I have gone nearly 70 years without hearing of bone broth. I guess it is high time.

As our society has moved away from whole-animal cooking - now mainly buying "parts" like chicken breasts at the grocery store, the value of bone broth/stock is somewhat lost. This cookbook does a great job of explaining how bone broths are important for nutrition and other reasons. Plus, if you're buying high-quality meat it's a great way to use every bit of what you're buying. There are recipes for basic broth/stock, but also lots of recipes to incorporate that broth/stock - soups, stews, drinks, etc. I also like that they include a few recipes for "tonics" for specific ailments/conditions/etc. I've been making homemade chicken stock for awhile now, but I'm ready to move on to beef broth and there are lots of recipes I'd like to try from this one. If you are buying meat from your local farmer's market this book is the next logical step in home cooking.

Tasty, Healthy, and Caring for Yourself

This cookbook presents not only recipes and techniques for cooking what are essentially very ancient recipes for homemade soup, but also addresses modern equipment, ingredients, and relationships to one's health scheme. This book also discusses the rationale and the science behind the practice of making soup from bones and shells. Many of the systems of the body are addressed, with explanations of diseases and disorders. while the first part sounds similar to an infomercial, it turns out, it is! This book is selling the idea of lower inflammation, increased nutrition, and improved functioning through the addition to one's diet of bone based soups. The photographs are stunning and tantalizing and before I finished the book I wanted to go run and make a part of this wonderful soup. A seasoned chef myself, I discovered ways to expand my repertoire. That says something good!

If you want to know more about bone broth - how to make it and why - this is a great book! There was lots of info about the benefits and techniques, as well as some recipes to mix things up. There are two reasons I won't rate it 5 stars. One, the recipes for "brocktails" (alcohol plus broth - dumb name) looked kind of gross and I don't think a lot of people would actually try them. And two, more importantly, there was a section about how broth can help you lose weight with a summary about the BMI scale. In a book of this kind, describing a natural and ancient type of healing, there's no place for the arbitrary standard of health the BMI scale represents. Drink and eat recipes with bone broth to heal yourself from the inside out, and everything else will fall into place.
