I have had my eye on Sue Gregg’s cookbooks for sometime now; probably about 2 years. I decided it was time to really check out the recipes to be sure they would work for our family. So, last week we did. This week I plan to share our experience.
If you are not familiar with Sue Gregg I encourage you to visit her website at SueGregg.com
What first impressed me about Sue Gregg was her balanced approach to nutrition. She not only strives to make food healthy but taste good too.
After a family health crisis followed by many months of a healthy yet tasteless diet, Sue Gregg began to experiment with her family’s favorite recipes; seeing where she could make them more nutritious, yet still delicious.

Sue Gregg's cookbooks emphasize the benefits of preparing food using the two stage process. If you are familiar with Sue Gregg or Nourishing Traditions, you have likely heard of this method.
The two stage process is said to maximize the nutritional value of whole grains. Soaking or fermenting the grains is necessary when using this preparation method. (For a thorough explanation click here)
Soaking grains takes a few hours, so one must plan ahead. I first thought this would be inconvenient and time consuming. However, it actually breaks down preparation time into smaller increments, making the job quite simple. For example, when making pancakes, one would soak the grains in buttermilk overnight. In the morning the only additions needed are an egg, baking soda, baking powder and salt. This is not time consuming in the least and makes for an easy morning.
Sue Gregg’s order page states:
“We highly recommend that you test the recipes on this website in your kitchen before purchasing cookbooks. Some preparation methods in our cookbooks are radically different from what many people are accustomed.
Assure yourself that you'll become a satisfied cookbook owner by testing and tasting our recipes before you purchase cookbooks.
None of our cookbooks has ever prepared a recipe.
That is your job.
We want you to experience the "joy of cooking" not buyer's regret!”
I really appreciate this and feel it is very wise advice! The preparation methods are indeed quite different to anything I have ever tried.
There are nine online recipes with step by step photo demonstrations. Click here to get started.
You can also request a free recipe sampler booklet by filling out a short lifestyle inventory. (Click here to go directly to the form). This booklet includes 23 wholefood recipes for your family to enjoy.
I will be back with my first review ASAP. Time to go and do some phonics with my first grader.
