Broth and Stock from the Nourished Kitchen: Wholesome Master Recipes for Bone, Vegetable, and Seafood Broths and Meals to Make with Them [A Cookbook]

I have been part of the "Nourished Kitchen" blog/Email by Jennifer McGruther for a very long time. Nourished Kitchen is all about great & nutritious food - that is remarkably easy to prepare. This "Broth & Stock" cookbook is a real gem if you would like to learn about "Broth & Stock"..., from Soup to Nuts. This cookbook takes a 5 Star rating in the wholesome food category. It is further loaded with many fabulous looking recipes where the Broth & Stock forms the base. What sets this cookbook apart from other Soup Cookbooks (I think), is this cookbook uses the Stock & Broth that you previously made to give the Soups etc a new and distinctive flavor and all in the spirit of economy. The first recipe I will make is the Black Bean Soup on page 94 using Beef Bones. It also contains a very insightful section on Fish Stock... which I knew nothing about until this lovely cookbook.

The first section of Broth and Stock discusses the difference between broth, stock, and bone broth. It gives tips on choosing bones and where to find the bones for stocks and bone broths. In addition, it talks about the vegetables you should (or shouldn’t) use, herbs + spices, and the equipment needed for making broths and stocks, as well as methods to store it. The chapters include: The Broth Maker's Kitchen Master Broths and Stocks Poultry Meat Fish Vegetables At the end of Broth and Stock, it has a section on where to shop–to find meat/bones for your broth, wild-caught fish and shellfish, wholesome fats, and prepared stocks/broths/bone broths, as well as a page of convenient conversion charts for volume, temperature, length, and weight. Each recipe includes a short introduction, the serving size, the ingredient list, and the instructions. The recipes don’t call for a bunch of different difficult-to-obtain ingredients and the broths are very simple to make. Each chapter includes lots of recipes that you can incorporate those broths into!

This book is Beautiful!! I know Jennifer's work and was eager to own this book. I put my name on the list to receive it on an "early release" through Amazon. Lucky ME! I am a well known broth and soup cook, using all kinds of combinations to create flavorful broths and soups. This book explains why the process is so important; how to extract maximum flavor and to preserve the nutrients in the components. If you are just falling into the world of Stock and Broth by all means, get this beautiful book! It will add to the well seasoned cook's library and become a primmer for the new soup maker. Thanks Jenny for another epic resource!

This is a good book that was well thought out and has lovely photographs of most (or maybe even all) recipes. The quality of this book is equivalent to her first cookbook, which was also very good. I'm not totally amazed by the book but in jenny's defense I already knew how to make stocks, broths, and soups from them. I merely got it to support her and the traditional foods lifestyle :) and because it was priced as cheap as some magazines out there now. I learned some new terms/recipes from other cultures such as dashi, remouillage (you'll have to read the book to learn that one :p), and the lime soup from Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. It's a small book that is a rather quick read and starting stock can be done that same day if you already have a traditionally stocked kitchen -- that was a fun plus!! All in all I'm happy with my purchase, I'll use the tips and recipes, and I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys traditional cooking. One more thing: I really appreciate how jenny listed the different teas (infant, chicken, beef) and also provided ingredient suggestions to suit your personal taste as a morning broth routine is something I'm considering.

This looks to be a fine book. It give a historical perspective of stock and broth. How it was a ubiquitously present in all kitchens. The soup pot was a necessary utility of the kitchen and still is for anyone who is economically inclined. Using the leftover carcass in boiling water to extract the nutrients inside. And getting to the leftover bits of meat still attached to the bones. Bone broth is good for you and your pets. I am excited to try out the recipes. For very little money you can provide healthy nutrious meals via stock or broth. I recommend this book to friends and foe alike.

Although I have not finished this book, I have used some of the recipes and made some broths. The flavors are superb. I probably will not use some of the meats covered here, but the instructions for what I did use were easy to follow and helpful. The Thanksgiving turkey provided another level to our leftovers this year. Time and money are well spent here for those willing to step up and make the effort to explore new things in cooking.

So I read an embarassing number of cookbooks. I love reading recipes and food theory and them putting my own spin/ ingredients on it. (We operate a grass fed meats business and raise a big garden on oyr family farm, so fresh, high quality ingredients are NOT a problem.) Recently, I picked up this little gem and it is one of the best cookbooks I've ever owned. Every recipe has been healthy and amazing and, well, nourishing. The explanations of making bone broth have taken my homemade broth to new levels, and it turns out good food every time. (Hint: you can substitute goat in the lamb recipe and OMG!!!) If you're in need of some help in the kitchen, I seriously cannot recommend this highly enough.

I’ve been looking for a book like this. Since broth and stock are so important for flavor, I always feel a bit guilty about using too many additives. This book explains everything about broth and stock, how to make them and what to make them with. I made dashi broth and then shrimp chowder, and the depth of flavor was amazing. My husband loved it. The only downside is that my cooking now takes an extra hour 🤣

This book is awesome, such a good buy. Love it brilliant addition to my library.
