Product Description
Do you love breads, cakes, pies, cookies, and other wheat products but can't eat them because you are allergic to wheat or sensitive to gluten? Perhaps you avoid wheat because you are concerned about your weight and need to cut down on carbohydrates. If so, the solution for you is coconut flour. Coconut flour is a delicious, healthy alternative to wheat. It is high in fiber, low in digestible carbohydrate, and a good source of protein. It contains no gluten so it is ideal for those with celiac disease. Coconut flour can be used to make a variety of delicious baked goods, snacks, desserts, and main dishes. It is the only flour used in most of the recipes in this book. These recipes are so delicious that you won't be able to tell that they aren't made with wheat. If you like foods such as German chocolate cake, apple pie, blueberry muffins, cheese crackers, and chicken pot pie, but don't want the wheat; you will love the recipes in this book! These recipes are designed with your health in mind. Every recipe is completely free of wheat, gluten, soy, trans fats, and artificial sweeteners. Coconut is naturally low in carbohydrate and recipes include both regular and reduced sugar versions. Coconut flour provides many health benefits. It can improve digestion, help regulate blood sugar, protect against diabetes, help prevent heart disease and cancer, and aid in weight loss.

 Cooking gluten-free made easier. March 12, 2010
Janna G. Bradley (Louisville, KY)
Coconut flour is a very healthy alternative to wheat, but can be difficult to work with. This cookbook helps make it much easier to cook & bake with. I've tried several recipes and, following the directions closely, they turned out very tasty. This cookbook has made being gluten-free so much easier!!
A perfect cookbook for health-conscious people February 8, 2010
Zsuzsanna Geszti (Budapest, Hungary)
A great buy for those who need and want positive changes in their health. I have tried many recipes from the book. The truth is, I choose to mix coconut flour with almond flour which is another great ingredient for a healthy diet. In either way, the success is guaranteed. I don't use sugar or honey for sweetening, I choose stevia and agave syrup instead, to make these foods more healthy and less of glycemic load.
Thanks to this book, I have introduced coconut into my diet: I eat it on a daily basis.
The detailed description of the effects of coconut on health is the best part of the book.
A wonderful source of grain-free basics! February 5, 2010
Rowan Fairbarn (WA, USA)
After 5 years of cooking grain-free I have found that almond and coconut flour to be the best non-grain products for baking and cooking. This cookbook is a wonderful resource for basic cooking with coconut flour. The recipes are straightforward, easy to follow and give good basic recipes that are easily "tweaked" if your creative bent is such. I use this book as the rule-of-thumb guidline of basics. These are not full-flavored recipes but much of that is for the chef to improve upon. For instance, a pie recipe will show you how to make the filling and crust with no frills but frills are easily adapted to the recipe by you. I usually add more flavoring to any recipe dish I make anyway. On another note: the cakes are AWESOME! I love this resource.
 Delicious Sounding Recipes January 12, 2010
Moire (Arroyo Grande, CA)
I just received this cookbook and I'm looking forward to trying several of the delicious recipes. I've been trying to incorporate a lot of coconut into my diet because of the good health benefits (especially coconut oil) I've been reading about and this looked like a good choice. It even suggests adding some coconut flour into smoothies for extra fiber. I'm diabetic, not much of a sweet eater, but when I do crave something sweet occasionally, the recipes in this book will work nicely. Also can't wait to try some of the main dish meals. I'll definitely be adding the flour to my meatloaf now.
 Not the best recipies January 10, 2010

I have tried a few recipies from the book.They did not come out tasty, May be it is due to the coconut flour itself. Food comes out dry.
