Start Up Guide:

Equipment:

• Cookbooks
  • The Complete Cooking Techniques for the GAPS Diet, 2nd Edition This cookbook was written by ‘the GAPS Chef’, Monica Corrado and is the go-to GAPS Cooking bible.
  • GAPS, Stage by Stage, With Recipes This is a wonderful book for additional recipes once you have the basics down.
  • Nourishing Traditions Once you transition off the GAPS diet, NT is considered the sister diet to GAPS – the way to eat to maintain health and wellness for life.

• Cookware: Here are some options for you to choose from based on budget and preference.
  • Le Creuset
  • Mueller
  • Cast iron
  • Instant Pot: Very handy in the kitchen for making stocks. Make sure to get a glass lid.
  • Water Filter Find the right size for you.
  • Dehydrator – Multi-use and great for keeping ferments the right temperature during culturing. Later you will find it handy for drying herbs, fruit, making meat jerky, etc.

• Juicers: Here are two options depending on your budget. I have had clients happy with both.
  • Ninja
  • Kuvings

• Fermenting Tools
  • Mason jars (with 2-part lid) for fermenting/culturing can easily be found at your local Walmart or grocery store. Get a variety of sizes: pint, quart, and half gallon. Wide-mouth is my preference.
  • Fermenting Heating Mat or Heat Pad: Great for yogurts and keeping ferments at a consistent temp. A dehydrator is also an excellent choice and easy to use (see under cookware)
  • Sauerkraut pounder
  • Airlock System: Keeps air out of your ferments and helps prevent overspill. For wide-mouth mason jars

• Food Resources:
  • Find a WAPF Chapter leader in your area for a list of farmers where you can find your meat, eggs, and raw milk.
  • Realmilk.Com  To find additional raw milk vendors.
  • Azure Standard Is a great option to find Organic, Non-GMO groceries, household, and personal care items
  • Find Real Food Is a great app (by WAPF) to help you find quality products at the grocery store.
  • Epic: For quality animal fats.
  • Culture For Health: Starters for culturing/fermenting (great for making your first batches of probiotic foods,  especially kefir).

• Home/Self-Care:
  • Environmental Working Group Rates the toxicity levels in food, personal, and household products. A great resource when looking for products to use.
  • Dechlorinating Tablets for your bathwater.
  • Dechlorinating shower filter for your shower.
