Product Description
If you like coconut, you will love this book. It's written for coconut lovers as well as for the growing number of health conscious individuals who recognize coconut as a marvelous health food. Every recipe contains coconut in one form or another. Some recipes such as Coconut Battered Shrimp and Coconut Macaroons use shredded or flaked coconut. Others such as Chicken A La King and Strawberry Chiffon Pie use coconut milk or cream in place of dairy. The salad dressings and mayonnaise recipes are based on coconut milk and oil. This book contains nearly 450 recipes with a mixture of both vegetarian and nonvegetarian dishes to choose from. You will find recipes for creating savory main dishes, appetizing side dishes, satisfying snacks, and nutritious beverages. You will find recipes for dairy-free smoothies and blender drinks, creamy soups and hearty chowders, delicious curries, stews, and casseroles. If you like desserts, you will find plenty here to choose from, including German Chocolate Cake, Coconut Pecan Pie, and Chocolate Almond Ice Cream. Concerned about sugar? No problem. Every sweet or dessert recipe includes a low sugar version. These recipes use very little sugar or none at all. Coconut is ideal for low-carbohydrate diets because it contains very little effective (i.e., digestible) carbohydrate. It consists primarily of indigestible fiber and, therefore, is a healthy and tasty low-carbohydrate, high-fiber food. The milk, cream, and oil are also low in carbohydrate and give foods a rich creamy taste and texture that is both healthy and delicious. |

Cocunut Lover's Cookbook by D. Kelley (Syracuse, NY)  4 Stars
April 01, 2009
I've only tried a few recipes so far but, they have turned out excellent. It's nice to find recipes that actually call for coconut flour and coconut oil-rather than trying to guess at what the substitution would be. Excellent source for those looking for a gleuten-free cookbook or those trying to incorporate more coconut into their eating lifestyle.

coconut lover's cookbook by Susan M (California, USA)  3 Stars
February 15, 2007
I was looking for recipes using coconut flour. So I was disappointed that all the bakegoods used mostly whole wheat flour. There was not even one recipe using the coconut flour. I bought this book instead of the "cooking with coconut flour" because I thought it would have a mixture of recipes. The other recipes looked very good and I am looking forward to trying them.

Great recipes! by lovestoread  5 Stars
February 07, 2006
I wrote a review for his book, "cooking with coconut flour" and I had to write one for this book also. The recipes are great, easy to understand and even easier to prepare. I really enjoy his recipes and am looking foward to future cookbooks using coconut products, especially coconut flour. I love this way of eating and am happy to have recipes to make life that much easier for me.

Simply Delicious by Grace To You (Maine) 5 Stars
November 13, 2004
I am not a gourmet cook. I like recipes without exotic ingredients and complicated processes. But I also like food that tastes GOOD. This book has it covered! If you're looking for ways to get more coconut products into your diet, this book is the one to do it. I've bought a number of other books with that purpose in mind, but the recipes called for ingredients I'd never heard of and couldn't find even in health food stores. Just as Bruce Fife has made complicated concepts on nutrition easy to understand in his other books, so he has made cooking with coconut easy for those of us who are not skilled in culinary arts. Thank you, Bruce Fife.
