Start Here — New to Seed Oil Free Cooking?

The Foodie Kitchen publishes 200+ global recipes and guides for cooking without industrial seed oils — using butter, ghee, tallow, lard, coconut oil, and olive oil instead.

The eight industrial seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, safflower, cottonseed, grapeseed, and rice bran — are extracted from seeds using chemical solvents and high heat. They are high in omega-6 linoleic acid and became dominant in the food supply only in the last 60 years. They were not part of the human diet before the 20th century.

Every world cuisine developed its own ancestral cooking fat before seed oils replaced them. Butter, ghee, tallow, lard, coconut oil, and olive oil are what your food was cooked in for thousands of years — and what The Foodie Kitchen uses in every recipe.

Going seed oil free starts in the kitchen. Replace the seed oils, know what to buy, and have a meal plan ready for the first week.

The Foodie Kitchen covers global cooking in ancestral fats. Every recipe uses the fat that cuisine was originally built on — not a seed oil substitute.
