Good to the Bone

BRODO

a bone broth cookbook

Marco Canora reports that Brodo sells more 40 to 50 gallons of hot broth every day and 50-80 quart jars of frozen broth.   Where is this demand coming from?

Well, I never met anyone who didn't want to live a healthier life.  Most people just don't know how, or equate healthy with bland.   We need to be shown the light, the way.  Enter Canora who says his broth is a nutritious and delicious alternative to that umpteeth cup of coffee.   These mugs of wellness offer a multitude of benefits including healthier hair, gut, skin, and reduced joint pain and inflammation.

So the question is how long do these broths take to make a home?  Luckily Canora busts the myth that you will be simmering broth for days.  Make that hours.  The recipes are simple, but time consuming.  The key is getting the best bones you can.  His hearth broth and golden chicken broth simmer for 3 to 5 hours.  The grass fed beef broth, veal broth and duck broth simmer for 12-16 hours.  No wonder people are lining up at Brodo's window.  You need time, but the good news is your health is worth the investment and these broths are good to the bone.   Also, these recipes yield large quantities and can last up to 6 months in your freezer. 

I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.

A Good Food Day

A Good Food Day

by Marco Canora

If you're very lucky, every day is a good food day. 

Most of us, however, suffer bad food days like we suffer bad hair days.   When I'm on the road, on the plane, on the train, I have to settle for what I can get, not what is best for me.   Most of us need a few cheat days.  After all, nobody's perfect.

What I love about this book is that it reaffirms what I hold true and dear to my heart, and stomach:  good foods can and do taste good.  Being healthy does not mean sacrificing flavor.   It means changes, yes.  Exercise, yes.  Bland, no.

Marco Canora is a professional chef who was forced to make some life changes.  So, he wrote this book with every day recipes that will love your body, and your body will love.  His principles are simple and intuitive.  Real food.  Eating must be enjoyable.  Quality.  The photos will make your mouth water.  Keen emphasis on vegetables, grains and beans.

Show your body some love, and find the joy in healthful eating.
