“I had dabbled early on just doing my own thing, not too organized. I was compelled to become a member and do your Fundamentals class and I dove right in. Learned lots on healthy eating. My biggest pursuit was sourdough (always loved the flavor). Now that I understand the whole concept, I love sourdough even more!

It’s just my husband and me. I believe he is enjoying the bread (a slice of toast every morning) and I know he enjoys the meats! I have lost about 5 pounds. I must reiterate how thankful I am for all that is available!”

“I used to not think too much about what I ate except in terms of “good” vs “bad.” TCS has helped me understand that there is more to that. I have more information now as to why something is better for me or why a certain prep method is better than another.”

“I ate a very clean diet by the time I actually joined TCS but now I have been able to expand my diet to include foods I couldn’t eat before (beans, grains, corn, etc.) because now they are traditionally prepared. We have more variety in food on a daily basis and nearly every snack and condiment has been replaced with a traditionally homemade version!”

“Our complete thought of food, preparation, and consumption is so different now. We eat and feel so much better and knowing what is going into my food gives me complete comfort at meal time. I also find it easier to plan and prepare. I keep all the staples on hand for our favorites and have found that most all recipes use the same basics so it is very cost effective and simple. Thank you.”

“I have always been very sensitive to the pollen from the pine trees. I moved into a neighborhood with many pine trees and one right in my front yard. Since I have only eaten homemade sourdough bread ... thanks to you ... I have not been bothered with the pollen from the pine trees, not even eye irritation when the pollen is making the streets yellow!”

“I love your videos and want more “TRUE” answers. I watch other videos with disappointing information, I only watch yours now! I’ve learned after my Cancer diagnoses that my body can actually kill the Cancer!! Then I came across Wardee and bingo, the light bulb lit! I can help myself naturally to heal with fermented food! My lungs are healing, so my oncologist agreed. Bless you Wardee and family!”

“…your website is now my “go to” for almost all things. Mostly recipes, but also health related questions as well as products that you recommend. I trust you, Wardee and team! The fact that you are Believers helps with that. I know you aren’t perfect, but you want to be honest and informative to the best of your God given ability, and I value that a ton! Thank you for being real and honest about so many things!!”

“I was searching for how to prepare healthier food for my family. Now Traditional Cooking School is my first stop for information.”

“I used a lot of pre-packaged foods now I use ingredients. I am confident using different ingredients to pull together a meal that is fast and nutritious in a variety of ways.”

“Before TCS I was reeling from a pregnancy loss and didn’t know anything about traditional cooking. Now I have an almost 4 year old, another baby on the way and a kitchen full of experiments. My cooking style has changed greatly and I am so thankful for everything I have learned.”

“I used to eat too much processed food and have bad digestion. I’ve really been trying to improve my digestion and the fermentation challenge was a HUGE help!

I love that your program is a Bible-based, traditional approach to food preparation. I never knew that these things were so important and now I’m trying to implement them as much as I can. I’m also trying to teach my kids (who are now in their 20’s) about this. Two have moved out and two still live at home, but they are beginning to understand that this is important. Once I get them hooked on it, they can start doing it themselves, so when I’m gone (many years from now), they can keep it up and teach their kids.”

“So far the best course/material I have seen out there. Not just the basic stuff. Very, very useful and interesting. THANKS”

“Being able to discuss issues I’m having with the courses or any of the things within TCS in a private group is priceless. Everyone is so friendly and supportive, so willing and capable of helping in a positive manner.

My life has been in upheaval for the past year. This is in part due to getting ready to sell our property, getting it sold, and moving into our 5th wheel ... and the encountering the pandemic, and all the other issues going on at this time. This has all been happening since I started TCS. What I can say is that TCS has given me a place of calm and an opportunity to focus on other things that all that stuff. I also think *a lot more* about the food we eat and how it is prepared.”

“Wow this was my first my first roundtable meeting and it was amazing! I’ve already watched it twice and I feel like I need to watch it again and take notes! So informative and helpful, truly! Thanks so much and God Bless! P.S. Absolutely loved that you prayed at the beginning :-)”

“For many years, this has become my one and only Christmas gift from my family to me. I can’t do anything else knowing how bad the SAD (Standard American Diet) is. DH & my health continues to get better, and our 3 boys are extremely healthy…”

“I’m enjoying all your information. You’re amazingly organized and have a terrific program. What I love the most is your love for God and living a life pleasing to Him.”

“This has, by far, been the best experience that I’ve had with any type of support. How wonderful you all are. May God Bless each and everyone of you.”

“You’ve shown me that what I thought was a healthy way of eating could be stepped up a notch. OK, a few notches!”

“I love the resource you are to cooking traditionally!”

“The Sourdough lessons have been just amazing. I had enjoyed baking with sourdough for over a year, but now I feel a new inspiration and love finding all the wonderful things that I can do.”

“I was able to prepare a soup for our son that returned home from technical school & was not feeling so well. It is a better version of a bone broth soup than I had been preparing. After eating it, he saw me catching up on some TCS classes and realized that the video I was watching (Fundamentals II) had much of the info about healthy soups. He realized I wasn’t just pulling the wool over his eyes. LOL I used Bone broth as the base, added parsley, ginger, garlic, onions, leeks, carrots, celery, turmeric, oregano, and a couple of small potatoes, letting it all simmer. Next, strained all of that, put in the Vitamix and back into the soup with a can of coconut milk. Tasted like healing! We classify your videos as “legitimate” videos!”

“My family had fun together watching kid videos and making those recipes. But the biggest benefit for our family was me seeing all the other moms on video that really nourish their families. It got me over the hump from doing it 60% to more like 97%. Which is a big deal as my son had really bad teeth… I just had it in my head before that no one could really be that ‘perfect’ in their cooking. Now we have a better diet and I also have more energy mostly because I now make all baked goods, which I love, sourdough.”

“I absolutely love your course! You have done such a great job referencing different resources and sharing great nourishing recipes! My boy already has a bottle recommended by you as well as the ice cream molds (can not wait for the recipe!!) Your hard work is much appreciated!”

“I would wake up in the middle of the night in so much pain that I would have to put my pillow over top of my head so I wouldn’t scream so that I wouldn’t wake up the house. That’s how [bad] it was.

Now I have energy, I can get through the whole day without having a nap, most of the time. I’m not as foggy brained, though I still have those times when I’m detoxing. I enjoy life, I can go for walks. I still have to go for short walks because I have psoriatic arthritis, so it’s hard. Like I can’t go up hills, I can’t climb mountains any more. But I can go for nice walks. I can enjoy life. I can get down on the floor and play with my dog. I have life. It feels like I have life now. I can engage in a conversation and just enjoy it. And, I can eat more now [food sensitivities]. And, I have been trying for absolute years to gain weight. This year, I’ve gained 3 or 4 pounds, which for me is an absolute miracle.”

“My 5-year-old granddaughter picks my homemade sourdough bread over store-bought every time! She knows the difference!”

“I have chronic illness, isolation, and I’m unable to get to church. My diet is so much healthier now, and although my overall health hasn’t improved yet, I’m convinced I’d have gone under without TCS.

So many other stresses added to my plate since I joined ... I believe God knew that I needed you, and put me in touch! And now I feel like I have a church family of friends! Love you all! (And I hope that bit about health didn’t look too gloomy ... it’s just me being honest!).

And the bonus is that I have a healthier husband too ... he appreciates the fact that traditional cooking is healthier, and loves that he doesn’t have to give up ‘nice food’!”

“I am sleeping better and experiencing less joint pain.”

“I had pneumonia about a dozen times over a ten-year period. Praise the Lord, I haven’t had pneumonia in almost four years.”

“I now better understand how and why it is important to prep my foods in traditional ways. I make sourdough bread, crackers and pizza on a regular basis. I also soak and dehydrate all my nuts as well as regularly make fruit leather for my granddaughters. Before I discovered TCS, I didn’t know how (and was scared to try) to do any of these things. Even the things I don’t make all the time like butter, cheese, sauerkraut, etc., I love that I know how to do it and have at least tried it! It helps me feel very connected to my ancestors!”

“TCS has helped me at every level of my traditional foods journey. At the beginning I was struggling to figure out what I should do and struggling with overwhelm. Your non-dogmatic approach helped me settle in on a few things to get me started.

After growing in the basis TCS was there when I wanted to expand into more in-depth topics.

Now I’m confident in sourdough (except bread, that’s this Winter’s project), fermenting, kombucha, pressure cooking, and more.”

“Before Traditional Cooking School, my family ate the Standard American Diet and we were trying to find a healthier but not boring way of food prep and eating and the reasons behind each.

Now with TCS, I don’t feel the need to give up my favorites or any category of foods. Instead, I like the challenge of tweaking the recipes to embrace a new way of prep or finding a better recipe all together.”

“I feel so happy and much more confident that I have resources that are worth investing my time! That I will have ample healthy options to turn to. I have access to trustworthy information for my health and what I can recommend (and do) to others!

I didn’t know what I was missing before!! It has filled a hole in my life, giving direction, fellowship, and that wealth of knowledge and access to so many rich resources(courses). I have found a group through challenges that spurs me forward beyond anything I have learned from in the past! I have so many options to do in my free time to study more things.

My kitchen used to be busy with broth and yogurt, but the number of ‘traditional’ cooking going on now includes regular yogurt making, soaking muffins, sourdough bucket dough English muffins, other dairy items, skillet meals, oh, my! The dehydrating that took place! I probably filled 50 jars with dehydrated veggies and fruits and have more to do!

There are healthy ferments galore in the two fridges! Our garden was more extensive because we knew we could learn new ways to process the foods for storage!”

“I guess when the loaf is half gone and yet still warm enough from the oven to melt butter, you can call it a success. Or my kids were just starving. One of the two!”

“I am so stoked that my sourdough starter is so happy right now! I took it out of the fridge last night after two weeks. I had fed it pretty thick before doing that and figured it would take a couple days to perk it up. Nope. Two feedings and it is so happy that I had to use 75% of it and it is still trying to overflow after its latest feeding. And I made a successful 100% sourdough risen bread. No commercial yeast whatsoever. Heehee!”

“HOLY, HOLY SMOKES!! I had no idea homemade crackers could be so GOOD!!”

“Made a double batch of gluten free sourdough English muffins today using Erin’s recipe from the Sourdough eCourse. I used my buttermilk from yesterday’s butter making. These are so much lighter and fluffier than my first batch. I am so happy with how they turned out. Half of them are in the freezer but they were disappearing quickly. I enjoyed mine with homemade butter and homemade spiced pear butter. Num! #littlewinsBIGdeal”

“When you stop and stare at your fridge because you realize it shows you are making progress in your traditional food journey. ”
