Re: OT - Recipes for Repair, a Lyme Disease Cookbook

Hi Jan,

I think it is because many of us with Lyme must avoid dairy products. I would

substitute coconut oil or olive oil when she calls for margarine. Hydrogenated

fats are really bad for our health and I personally would not use them.

is it that coconut makes my throat scratchy?) Wouldn't you know that I can't

make one, because I don't have all the ingredients required.

Thanks, . I was wondering if I could substitute coconut oil.

When you sub VCO for butter do you measure out cup for cup? When you use it to

sub for oil, do you have to melt it to measure. Or does VCO stay the same

quantity solid and melted?

Hi there. So whose cookbook is this? And where do you buy it? Just a thought though, be careful with olive oil too if it gets to hot especially when frying something, it changes its "chemistry" so to speak and has not so healthy reactions with your food. VCO is certainly the best IMHO. Blessings, BiancaConnected by DROID on Verizon Wireless Re: OT - Recipes for Repair, a Lyme Disease Cookbook Thanks, .

You might have to experiment a little. I would start by using the same amount

of VCO to butter. I love VCO in things like pie crusts, because it gives the

crust a coconut flavor. If you don't like that flavor when baking, then I would

use olive oil.

Go to Rosner's site. I believe it is a Biomed publishing book. You can

google it Recipes for Repair and it may come up on Amazon.

Nutiva seems to have a very mild, almost neutral taste. Olive oil is a much stronger flavor, so I never use it in sweet pastry; only savory.I use Nutiva VCO in the recipe-specified quantity in a beloved old banana bread recipe, instead of butter and the bread is even better! (If a recipe uses salted butter, it's a good idea to add a little salt to keep up.)Be well,LénaYou might have to experiment a little. I would start by using the same amount of VCO to butter.
