Note: All recipes, articles, tutorials and posts made prior to early 2009 were written before I dove into traditional food preparation methods (such as those found in Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon Morell). This mostly affects the soaking of grains, nuts, and seeds. Feel free to adapt the techniques based on what you know of traditional methods and know that over time, I will be updating them as well.
