Guest guest Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 I came across this nutritional philosophy and the Nourishing Traditions cookbook recently and have been working hard to cook exclusively from it for the past 2 months. I have some questions and no one to ask, so I thought I would try this chat room. I've heard that olive oil (along with most other oils) becomes toxic when heated and should never be used for cooking, yet I see that in some of the NT recipes, olive oil is used for sauteing or frying. I thought that coconut oil or ghee are the only good choices for these cooking methods. What about using peanut oil (cold-pressed) for stir-frying instead of olive oil when it is listed in the ingredient list? (i.e. the Stir Fry Beef Stew, which was excellent, by the way)I always preferred using peanut oil before when cooking asian-style because olive oil isn't indigenous. Anyone else try to make mayonnaise? Mine didn't taste very good. I'm sure I'll think of others, but I'll start with that and see if this works.
