  • The question we receive the most is how do you do it?

    How do you cook 3 meals a day, 365 days a year for your families?

    We thought it was about time we tackled this head on, and do it in a practical way. So in this episode you will hear two real-life examples of how we took one cooking session and let it guide the food we served and ate for a whole week.

    If you’ve ever thought or felt that you don’t have enough time. If you’ve ever wondered how we come up with the goods at every meal-time. If you’ve opened the fridge and felt that sinking feeling, what today, this episode will help!

  • What does "raw honey" really mean? How do you know if your honey is truly raw - is just the label enough? Are there different benefits to truly raw honey vs heated honey - even low heat temperature honey? And - how do you use truly raw honey? Does it ever go bad? How is it produced? Alison and I had so many questions all about honey and in this episode, Prenten, a beekeeper in Utah in the United States did an excellent job answering all of our questions - with some surprising answers.

    Join our Patreon to support the podcast and check out the 40-minute Aftershow where Prenten and I went even deeper down some of the rabbit holes connected to beekeeping and raw honey. It was a wonderful visit, Alison and I both learned so much and we are excited to share this episode with you.

    The episode you’re about to hear is one of these patron-exclusive shows from earlier in the year. In it you’ll get a taste of the sort of things we cover - we regularly talk about what’s happening in our own lives, often sharing things we wouldn’t in the main episodes and we also, as you will hear, answer really juicy questions from our patrons.

    What we cover:

    This podcast is more informal than our usual Ancestral Kitchen podcasts. This is because it was originally recorded for our community

  • Many of the questions Alison and I receive on a constant basis relate to topics that we covered in early foundational episodes of the podcast, so we decided to bring a few of those archive episodes to the front and highlight them for new listeners to enjoy. This episode is one of our very earliest - it's only our fourth episode on the podcast; and we were covering five of the most expensive foods to buy that are ironically some of the cheapest foods you can make.

    In this episode, we cover bone broth; sourdough bread; kombucha and water kefir; kefir and yoghurt; and sauerkraut. We compare the price of purchasing high quality versions of these foods compared to making them at home, and some of our resources for each of them. This is an excellent episode with a lot of really good show notes, so be sure to check the show notes for all of our many, many, many resources on all of these topics!

  • Megan is a podcast listener, turned podcast patron, turned podcast admin! She is now working for the Ancestral Kitchen Podcast and it has been so wonderful having her helping Alison and I out. This is a very special episode that we recorded just for patrons of the podcast, and it went up on a private podcast feed where we have over 80+ episodes that are just special bonuses for patrons of the podcast who are helping support it and keep us on the air. Megan and her partner are garlic and lamb farmers; and we asked the patrons of the podcast for all their questions about garlic, and then Megan answered every single one. Everything ranging from varieties and planting methods, harvesting and storing, different uses for garlic as well as ways of cooking with garlic - all the way up to medicinal benefits and even talking about Megan's garlic festival! This is such a fun episode and I think you will enjoy getting to hear this intimate conversation from the private patron feed as a special summer bonus!

    What we...

  • So many of us come to ancestral foods because of our own or our family’s health. We’ve tried what the mainstream medical model has to offer and we’re done with it. We want to look for and work with alternatives.

    And that journey can be a lonely and fraught one. The world doesn’t provide much support for taking this road less travelled and yet, when doing hard things and making tough decisions we sooo need support.

    That’s why we wanted to bring this episode, taking your health in your own hands, to the podcast. To offer perspective, support and encouragement to you, wherever you are on your health journey.

    In it, Alison talks with her husband Rob. Between them they’ve had 40 years attempting to manage their health outside the mainstream.

    They cover what taking your health in your own hands means and why you’d want to do it. They share some examples of where they’ve done this in our their lives including fertility, digestion, sleep and eyesight. They share what you need to be aware of along the way, what helps, how food plays into the journey, how to know when to call in help, the resources they’ve used and what this attitude to life and health has given them.

    They also, in a special aftershow for patrons of the podcast, cover applying this philosophy to children, sharing some of the healing journey they've been through with their son. To access the aftershow, you can join our patreon community at the companionship level or above, there are details below.

  • In this podcast we celebrate and share ancestral food…the things that our great grandmothers, and their great grandmothers used to do. The wisdom we can gather listening to and reading the stories of their work has the power to change our modern day food world.

    In this episode Andrea and I will put out a call for you to send us your own ancestral stories and we’ll also celebrate people who have collected and treasured this knowledge by sharing four beautiful, evocative pieces of food wisdom hand-picked by some of our favourite authors. Be prepared to be amazed, enlightened, inspired and enthused, as we are, to go out and do all you can to rebuild our individual food stories using the wisdom of our ancestors as the guiding star.

  • What about cooking and eating ancestrally when you're in times of turmoil, or busy chaotic times - like having a new baby, or when people are sick, or when you're moving across countries!

    In this episode Alison and I are going to talk about all of these things because we are going through all of them. We will share some of our strategies and plans for using up food stores before a move, or preparing food in advance when there's a baby coming, and how we're going to keep our systems running despite all of the disruptions going on in normal life.

    Thank you to those of you who sent in the questions that inspired this episode - it's a really good one, and I think you will find it very useful.

  • Liver: do you love it or hate it?

    Which ever side of the fence you're on, we're betting you know that liver is a true superfood; one of the most nutrient dense foods we can include in our diet.

    But for many it's also a 'problem' food – we know because both of us regularly get questions on including liver in an ancestral diet.

    This episode is for liver lovers and liver haters! We talk about why liver is so important, how often to eat liver, where to start with sourcing, preparing and cooking liver, what types of liver we eat and how we eat it, how to eat liver without realising you're eating liver, how to get children to eat liver, what to do if you just can't eat liver and we share our favourite and our patrons favourite liver recipes.

    We just couldn't stop talking about liver and if you're our patron of the podcast, you will find an after show in your private feed where we share even more about liver including eating it raw.

  • Rebecca is a good friend and a good influence. She is the creator behind A Humble Place, with a website and an Instagram both by that name, where I first found her when I was looking for Charlotte Mason art studies, and I got many of her beautiful sets. In this episode, though, she is teaching me about her meal planning strategies. I am now using her method and it is revolutionizing everything that I am doing. I am so grateful to Rebecca for joining me today to discuss this because I am not by nature a meal planner. With a very busy summer coming up, I need to have some good frameworks in place to rely on for meal planning, having others being able to participate in the food preparation, being able to know what is coming down the pipeline; and it was really interesting to me how her meal planning works with an ancestral and seasonal food lifestyle, which is the way she and her family eat. So many meal planning ideas and options out there assume you're going to be going to the grocery store every couple of days and buying lots of convenience or unseasonal foods, which just doesn't suit the way a lot of us are eating. Thank you Rebecca for opening up a whole new world to me! I am so excited to share this episode with you today; enjoy!

  • I know milling my own flour is better and I want to do it, but where do I start?

    Home milling can be such a joy and we’re here in this episode to guide you through all the hows.

    We’ll talk the multiple benefits of milling at home and fill any gaps in knowledge you might have. We’ll explain how you can grind a grain, what mills are available for your kitchen and the benefits of each one, then I’ll share how I mill at home, the organisation around it and what I make. And stay till the end as we’ll also squeeze in a chat about how home-milled flour is different to shop bought and how you can best work with this amazing food stuff in your own kitchen.

    In this episode we dive in to the ancestral grain millet. We will talk about what it is, why you'd want to include it in your diet, how to cook it and I then I will go on to share in detail my seven favourite ways to use millet - we regularly consume millet all of these ways in our home.

  • Feeding babies and children a nutrient-dense ancestral diet is something that many moms have questions about. Whether the questions are "how do I start my child off on the right foot" or "I have older kids and we are just coming to this ancestral diet now - help, how do I transition them to this good food!" - these are things that we think about. Here to help us today is Christine Muldoon, from The Modern Ancestral Mamas Podcast. Christine and her co-host Corey were on our podcast a long time ago, episode # 27, and Christine is back to give us more of her great wisdom for feeding children.

    Topics today range from breastfeeding and the WAPF formula, to connection at the table and during mealtime; when do you start bringing children to the table and why that timing is so important; to picky eating and family food values and so much more. This is a wonderful conversation, Alison and I both enjoyed visiting with Christine so much. Patrons, be sure to hit your private podcast feed for a short aftershow with Christine where we hit her with one more question!

    What we...

  • We get a lot of questions about butchering chickens over here on the podcast, and those questions range from “I have a backyard flock and I would like to be able to cull a few hens and some roosters every year,” all the way up to, “We are planning to raise enough meat birds for ourselves and our neighbors and we need to know what tools we need to get started on that.” In this episode, I am going to do my best to get you comfortable with the idea of butchering a few hens on your kitchen counter, and reassure you that you have every tool you need, and it really is a simple and straightforward process - but there is a learning curve, and it is worth learning.

    This is an ancestral skill that used to be fairly familiar to many people; if you have read many older books you know they are always butchering this, that, or the other chicken and it doesn’t even barely make a comment in the book because it is such a simple and familiar process to people in the days of old. We will cover the tools you need for both a simple few birds a year, all the way up to the larger batches that involve more equipment; we will talk about involving your kids in the process, and we will talk about the clean-up and packaging process at the end as well.

    I hope you find this episode to be very useful and interesting, and please be aware that we are going to talk about all the blood and guts in this episode and it is appropriate for all ages, but please be aware before you jump in.

  • Meredith Leigh is an ex-vegan now butcher, a butchery teacher, an author, a kitchen experimenter extraordinaire and meat fermenter, co-founder of The Fermentation School and a mum.

    She has so much to share and this is an intimate and engaging conversation. We cover some really important questions including conscious animal slaughter, Meredith's transition from veganism to ethical meat, the safety worries around fermenting meat and the one we get so many questions about: nitrates in meat.

    Patrons of the podcast check your private feed for a moving after show where Meredith reads a piece from one of her books.

  • The world of essential oils is an ancient and ancestral one. From the Mesopotamian valley where the Sumerians, Akkadians and ancient Hebrew tribes were distilling, trading and using oils to the apothecaries and wisdom of the ancient Chinese; from the dusty tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs like Tutankhamun to the Silk Road and spice merchants guiding camels burdened with precious ointments, oils, resins and salves.

    The ancients knew and prized essential oils for their benefits, and we can enjoy the same benefits today - maybe not procured from a trader riding into town on a camel, but beneficial just the same!

    Using oils in the kitchen is a remarkably easy and delicious way to use them, and one that our ancestors - who used oils for religious rituals, cleansing, medical care and inhalation in addition to epicurean delights of the wealthy tables - would have approved of. In this episode we will discuss what essential oils are, a brief history of their use throughout the world, and some of my favorite ways to use them in the kitchen. We have included a booklet of recipes for all listeners which can be downloaded at AncestralKitchenPodcast.com/downloads.

  • If you asked both Andrea and I who's inspired us the most we'd both put our guest today, Sandor Katz, right up there in our top couple of names. We've read his books, underlining phrase after phrase, we've taken his advice; we've made his ferments, so many of his ferments. He's inspired, educated, and hand-held us both through our food fermentation journeys.

    Coming up is a fascinating and informative conversation that covers what Sandor grows and ferments, safety and fermentation, wild starters versus commercial yeast and how you can utilise wild yeast in your ferments, the war on bacteria, the small food revolution and much more.

    Check out our aftershow conversation with Sandor! We talk about tibicos (water kefir) and milk kefir and why grains don't populate. You can get access and download by joining our patreon community at the Companionship level or above. Find details here.
