mayonnaise recipes are based on coconut milk and oil.

dishes to choose from.

creamy soups and hearty chowders, delicious curries, stews, and

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's 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.
There's bound to be something in this wonderful book that you'll
be able to enjoy!
Bon appetit!
