• #111 - Prep and Pack Travel Meals: How to Vacation Like a Peasant

  Traveling and vacation is so much fun until you get the bill for all the meals you ate out, and you get a tummy ache for all those weird ingredients your body just didn’t like. If you have allergies and food sensitivities it’s even more difficult, finding somewhere safe to eat is just about impossible. We have both found that when we travel we just do better if we bring a lot of our own food with us. In this episode we are going to talk about our best tips for preparing, what kinds of food we bring, how to pack tools and what tools to bring, how to keep food cold on the trip, and just some of the things we have learned traveling over the years - traveling with kids, and with food and with special diet considerations. This episode is a really fun one for getting ready for big trips, but also great for just thinking about going out and about for the day, if you're looking for things and ideas for taking picnics on the go just for an afternoon.We also included seven tips from Bob Jordan, Andrea’s dad, who does catastrophic damage restoration in homes for water, fire and mold. He has some great tips for travelers to set you on your way and ensure you come home to a safe and happy home. Those tips are available for download for all listeners at ancestralkitchenpodcast.com/downloads. For supporters of the podcast there is an additional download as well; you will get Andrea’s menu from her most recent week-long trip, with 6 family members.

• #109 - Meagan Francis Spills the Tea: History, Sourcing, and Brewing a Good Cup

  George Orwell writes, “If you look up ‘tea’ in the first cookery book that comes to hand you will probably find that it is unmentioned; or at most you will find a few lines of sketchy instructions which give no ruling on several of the most important points. This is curious, not only because tea is one of the mainstays of civilization … but because the best manner of making it is the subject of violent disputes.” In this episode I got to sit down with Meagan Francis, a supporter and friend of Ancestral Kitchen and veteran podcaster herself. She is the host of The Kettle with Meagan Francis, which is a lovely podcast, and author of “The Last Parenting Book You’ll Ever Read” which just came out this spring. Meagan also owns a tea and variety shop and in this episode she shared with me some surprising and interesting tidbits on the history of tea and how it was introduced to Western civilization, some of the finer points of sourcing and brewing, where some of our familiar tea traditions came from and what High Tea really means.We had so much to talk about that we overflowed into an Aftershow which will be available on Kitchen Table Chats, our private podcast of bonus episodes for podcast supporters. As a thank you to our podcast supporters for keeping us on the air, Alison also created a new recipe for Spelt Buttermilk and Honey Scones, which is available where supporters can log in to the podcast downloads section of our website. Sorry Orwell, no violent disputes broke out today, but I learned a lot. Pour yourself a hot cup of brew - whether you’re doing the dishes or just gazing across the lonely windswept moors as you listen - and let’s get into it.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *One Earth Health make the grass-fed organ supplements we use and trust.

• #108 - Histamine, Ferments & Traditional Foods

  Bone broth, sauerkraut, milk kefir – fundamentals of an ancestral diet and foods that we know do us good.So what do you do if actually they're making you ill?Histamine is a word that most of us have heard of and, thanks to the proliferation of health news, were also probably aware of histamine intolerance.In this episode we will deal head-on with histamine and how it interacts with an ancestral diet. We'll explain what histamine is and the problems it can cause. We'll explore which staple ancestral foods are high in histamine and discuss alternatives that we can turn to if histamine is an issue for us.Alison will share her own journey, eating low histamine for much of last year and, most importantly, we'll talk about how is possible to heal from histamine issues whilst continuing to eat traditionally.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *One Earth Health make the grass-fed organ supplements we use and trust.
