I'm coconuts for coconuts, yet was confused about its high saturated fat content and at a loss to understand how that much could be okay. This book clarified that and more. I learned many facts about this multi-talented drupe, the different forms in which it's available, and the benefits of each. Then, the author generously provides several chapters chockfull of recipes for our enjoyment! It's a book I'll revisit. Now, I'm off on a quest to find coconut flour!

I received this book as a gift from deliciousliving.com. This is a very good book for someone just starting on a grain-free diet. It gives you tips and great information on all forms of coconut. The recipes are great too!
