Nourishing highlights

Buy Chicken with the bone in. 

The secret to making meat taste good is to leave the bone in. Great tip for those new to cooking. The more everything stays together – fat, bone, skin, connective tissue – the better.

Here’s why: Water molecules pull apart the connective tissue in the skin, ligaments, cartilage and even bone and release a healing part called glycosaminoglycans. When we consume these family of molecules we rehabilitate our joints, get a natural face lift, and relieve nagging body pain.

Slow cooking is the secret to releasing these healing properties. Quickly frying meats will not have this health affect. 

Additionally, the better the material you start with, the better tasting and better for you. For this reason and more, animals raised humanely and pasture raised, are best.

Mastering the art of cooking meat is a big step to capturing the true power food can give.
