1 C OCONUT M ILK
Coconut Milk is the water that comes from the grated 'meat' of a coconut. It can be of either thick
or thin consistency, the former usually being used in desserts and rich sauces, while the latter is
more commonly used in soups and general cooking. It is the common ingredient in many tropical
cuisines (i.e. Filipino, Indian, Vietnamese, Caribbean etc.).
Coconut Milk has been identified for its many health benefits and homeopathic uses. It has been
used as an electrolyte balance mechanism for cases of dehydration (similar to the way Gatorade
works) as well as a remedy for healing mouth ulcers (showed a 54% reduction of ulcers in rats).
One major benefit of coconut milk is its richness is medium-chain fatty acids, which promote
weight maintenance without raising cholesterol. This property helps prevent weight gain (if you
aren't overweight) as well as maintaining your new weight after a successful diet.
1.1 Thai Style Prawn Curry

Submitted by: headbean
INGREDIENTS:
2 Red chilies (or more if you like it hot)
2 Cloves of garlic
6 Kaffir lime leaves
Some coriander/cilantro
1 green bell pepper
1 tsp tomato paste
1 Tbsp fish sauce
2 Tbsp soy sauce (I use Kikkoman gluten free)
1 tsp sesame oil
a bit of ginger (or substitute Galangal)
150g sugar snap peas
300 g (approx) prawns
400ml coconut milk/cream
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Throw everything except for the peas, prawns and coconut milk in a blender to make the
paste.
2. You can de-shell and remove head off your prawns, but I like them on.
3. Toss the prawns in a pan with some oil for 2 minutes.
4. Put a tablespoon or so of the paste in with the prawns.
5. Take them off the heat (you can put them under the grill for 10 mins if you want a bit of
charring action and you haven't taken off the shells).
April-May 2012
6. Put the sugar snap peas in a pan. Add the rest of the paste and the coconut milk.
7. Let it simmer until thickened. Try not to stick your finger in the curry to taste because it
will burn your finger.
8. When satisfied with the consistency (or can't take the delicious smell any longer) add the
prawns, stir a bit then consume.
NOTES:
You could put this over some cauliflower rice. I ate it like a soup.
I've just had the leftovers for lunch and it tastes even better today. Guess the spices
must've worked some extra magic over night.
1.2 Wasabi-Coconut Panna Cotta with Tuna and Mango

Submitted by: JansSushiBar
Blog: http://www.janssushibar.com/?p=13696
INGREDIENTS:
1 can (15 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon wasabi powder
pinch kosher or sea salt
1 packet unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1 medium mango, peeled and sliced
1 sheet nori
8 ounces sashimi-grade tuna
1/2 tablespoon fish roe
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Pour the cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle in the gelatin. Set aside.
2. Heat the coconut milk and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until
simmering; whisk in the wasabi powder.
3. Stir about 1/3 of the hot coconut milk into the gelatin and continue stirring until the
gelatin is completely dissolved.
4. Whisk the coconut milk/gelatin mixture back into the coconut milk in the saucepan, then
pour into a lightly oiled 8 x 8 glass baking dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours,
preferably overnight.
5. Using a thin, sharp knife, slice the tuna lengthwise into thirds.
6. Cut each slice into 1 1/2" squares, until there are 14 squares in all. Set aside.
7. Lay the sheet of nori on a flat surface, shiny side down.
8. Using a sharp knife, cut out fourteen 1 1/2" squares.
9. Lay each square on top of a square of tuna. Set aside.
10. Peel the mango and remove the pit; slice thinly and cut into fourteen 1 1/2" squares.
April-May 2012
11. Place each piece of mango on a nori-topped square of tuna. Set aside.
12. Remove the panna cotta from the refrigerator and cut out fourteen 1 1/2" squares; place
each square on a stack of tuna, nori and mango.
13. Top each with a small dollop of fish roe, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

1.3 Spicy Coconut Chicken Stew

Submitted by: barramo
INGREDIENTS:
coconut milk
chicken
ginger
spinach
garlic
onion
chili peppers (i.e. habaeros)
paleo cooking oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Chop up the chicken into pieces (2-3 inches).

Chop up the onions, ginger and garlic then saut them in a pan with oil.
Before they brown, add the chicken to the pan and cook them together for a few minutes.
Add a half cup of water.
Once it gets back up to simmering add the spinach and the can of coconut milk then stew
for 30 minutes.
6. Stir it occasionally so it doesn't bubble too much.
7. Chop up and add the chili; continue cooking for another five minutes and then serve.
NOTES:
This is pretty much just Filipino Ginataang Manok.

It's quick and easy.

1.4 Chocolate-Coconut Paleo Pudding Cups

Submitted by: paleogirl
Blog: http://www.healthy-meal-plans.net/healthy-meal-plans-2/paleo-dessert-recipe-chocolatecoconut-pudding-cups/
INGREDIENTS:
1 can coconut milk
3 eggs
2 Tbsp honey (or 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup or 1 tsp stevia
powder)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1/4 cup high-quality chocolate, grated or in small chunks
berries or chocolate curls for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place an inch or two of water in a large pan or the bottom of a double boiler and bring it
to a boil.
2. In the top of the double boiler, or in a heat-proof bowl large enough to sit on top of the
pan of water, combine the coconut milk, the sweetener of your choice, and the vanilla
extract, if using.
3. Whisk until smooth.
4. Break the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk until smooth and lemon-colored.
5. Allow the coconut milk mixture to heat over the boiling water for a few minutes until hot.
6. Ladle some of the hot coconut mixture from the bowl or double boiler and drizzle it
slowly into the bowl of eggs, whisking the eggs continuously.
7. Repeat two more times. (This tempers the eggs, preventing them from congealing
immediately when introduced to the hot coconut milk.)
8. Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture into the hot coconut milk mixture over the boiling
water, whisking continuously.
9. Continue to whisk the pudding mixture until it thickens to the consistency of pancake
batter, which may take between two and five minutes.
10. Once the pudding has thickened, pour roughly half of it into a bowl and set it aside to
cool.
11. Return the remainder to the double boiler or the top of the pan of boiling water.
12. Add the chocolate to the pudding on the stove top and whisk until melted and smooth.
13. Remove the chocolate pudding mixture from the heat.
14. Divide the chocolate pudding between four wine glasses, champagne flutes, or other clear
serving containers.
15. Pour the plain coconut pudding on top of the chocolate layer, dividing it evenly between
the four glasses.
16. Chill the pudding glasses in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours, until set.
17. Garnish with berries or chocolate curls, and serve cold.
April-May 2012
NOTES:
Serves four, and by four, I mean me when Im having a bad chocolate craving.

1.6 Coconut Milk Soup Keng Phet Kai

Submitted by: ReferenceEntity
INGREDIENTS:
About 1.5 cans coconut milk
lb chicken chopped
handful mushrooms
handful potato, cubed
handful green beans
handful eggplant (optional)
3 stalks lemongrass
10 slices galangal, cut thick. (Dont eat)
10 kaffir lime leaves. (Dont eat)
1 handful onion, sliced
1 tsp chili powder (sweet, if possible)
3 Tbsp fish sauce. (most contain sugar)
3 Tbsp oyster sauce (reduce if using sweet
potato)
salt to taste
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 to 2 cups water
1 to 2 tsp chili paste
For Garnish:
3 Tbsp fresh lime
Basil leaves (optional)
Extra coconut milk (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Stir fry the onions, lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves in 2 Tbsp coconut oil
until golden brown.
2. Add chicken, stir on high heat, and add about can coconut milk and the chili paste.
3. Cook for a couple minutes. Then add the rest of the stuff and cook for at least 10 minutes.
NOTES:
I got this recipe at a cooking class in Luang Prabang, Laos. The amounts for the
ingredients are approximate; sadly the materials they provided to take home were mostly
inaccurate and I have been trying to reconstruct the recipe for the last several years. This
version is pretty good though. It is pretty easy to make as long as you have a wok, but
getting the galangal and kaffir lime leaves is a real problem try an Asian or Thai-

specialty market. DO NOT MAKE WITHOUT THEM, or do so at your own risk. (In
NYC they are available at the Bangkok Center Grocery at 104 Mosco.)
Chicken: The recipe calls for white meat, I used pasture raised thighs. White meat is
probably better for this recipe given that it is pretty fatty already.
Mushrooms: They used oyster which are great but I used maitake which were great too.
Potato: They use regular ole potato. I used Japanese sweet potatoes, and they were fine
although it was maybe a bit sweet.
Lemongrass protip: cut the ends off, then cut it in half, and then cut the slices lengthwise.
This way you can easily remove them before eating.
Chili paste: either buy some or better yet make your own by finely chopping lemongrass,
shallots, galangal, garlic, chilies, and mixing until creamy.
I recommend adding the coconut milk and water carefully, maybe dont use quite as
much of either as in the ingredients list. That being said, the soup changes flavor over
time so if you judge it too early it will probably taste too coconutty and not have the spice
flavor you are looking for.
1.7 Spaghetti Alla Carbonara

Submitted by: MTLDAD
Blog: http://paleoparents.com/featured/spaghetti-squash-alla-carbonara/
INGREDIENTS:
1 medium spaghetti squash
12 oz nitrate-free bacon
1 Tbsp arrowroot powder
cup full-fat coconut milk
6 eggs
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning (or herbs de provence)
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp salt
tsp garlic powder
1 heaping Tbsp lard (or butter)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut the spaghetti squash in half, scoop out the seeds, place open side down on a plate and
microwave for 10 minutes (alternatively, bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees).
2. While the squash is cooking, fry up the strips of bacon (whole) in a pan over medium
heat. Use one you can also scramble eggs in, we like a cast iron skillet.
3. When the bacon is finished cooking and crispy, remove from the pan and set-aside bacon.
4. Over medium heat, whisk in the arrowroot powder to the bacon grease and let cook for a
few minutes.
April-May 2012

5. While the arrowroot cooks, combine eggs, coconut milk, seasoning, parsley, salt and
garlic powder in a bowl until all yolks are fully incorporated.
6. Pour eggs into pan, stirring frequently, and cook in bacon fat until still wet but cooked
through (about 3 minutes).
7. Slice bacon into inch strips, add to serving bowl and top with egg mixture.
8. Scoop out spaghetti squash noodles with a spoon and add to serving bowl; top with
lard.
9. Slowly start to incorporate lard into spaghetti squash; once melted, stir to combine all
ingredients.
NOTES:
The prep and cook time for this are insanely short at 15-20 minutes, and its best served
right away. In other words, have the table set and be ready to eat when you begin making
this!
Serves 4 (or 6, if you add roasted broccoli or serve a side salad).
This would also make a fantastic breakfast, so you might want to double the recipe to
ensure leftovers because we sure didnt have any!

1.10 Tilapia with Coconut Cilantro Chimicurri

Submitted by: SavoringSarah
INGREDIENTS:
two 6-oz filets Tilapia (or any other white fish)
1 tsp sesame oil
salt and pepper to taste
paprika to taste
1/3 cup coconut milk
1 Tbsp curry powder
2 garlic cloves
cup cilantro, loosely packed, stems removed
1 Tbsp Sambal Oelek (more if you like it spicy)
1-2 Tbsp water (optional, for sauce thickness)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Drizzle sesame oil over fish & season with salt, pepper and paprika.
3. Place about 8 inches under broiler, and cook until fish is firm and flakes easily (about 6-8
minutes).
4. Meanwhile, prepare chimichurri: in a small food processor, or blender (I used my magic
bullet), combine coconut milk, curry powder, cilantro, garlic, and sambal. Blend until
cilantro is broken down. Thin with water if necessary. I used the thick coconut cream at
the top of my can, so I needed about 1 Tbsp water to thin it to my desired consistency.
5. Plate fish and top with chimichurri.
NOTES:
Makes 2 servings.
Serve with simple cauliflower rice and sauted bok choy.

pine nuts
1 tilapia filet
avocado
coconut milk
water

3. The water will evaporate and the remaining coconut milk will thicken to a sauce
consistency.
4. Fry tilapia separately.
5. Serve fish over avocado slices. Add steamed vegetables. Top with sauce.
NOTES:
The highlight of this recipe is not how I used Coconut milk, but rather how I misused it. I
only meant to use the coconut milk to steam the vegetables to see what might happen, but
it turned into a nice sauce.

As the primary symbol of fertility in many cultures, eggs have been the center of many ancient
civilizations since the dawn of time, from the Romans, to the Phoenicians, to the ancient Chinese
people.
Eggs are known to be an essential source of protein and 14 essential nutrients. Contrary to
popular belief, eating eggs does not increase levels of bad cholesterol in the blood. It is also
know that the amount of cholesterol the body creates on a daily basis outweighs that of eating an
egg or two every morning. Cholesterol is in fact needed as a base to create steroid hormones such
as estrogen, cortisol, and testosterone.

2.3 Wine Poached Eggs with Crispy Pork Belly and Mushrooms
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb pork belly
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp date sugar
2 Tbsp Ancho chili powder
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp garlic powder
2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
8 ounce white mushrooms, sliced
3 Tbsp ghee or clarified butter
pinch of salt
6 large eggs
2 cups tawny port
1 bottle dry red wine
sprig of thyme
1 bay leaf
2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Mix the salt, pepper, date sugar, Ancho chili powder, cumin and garlic powder in a small
bowl. Pat the pork belly dry and rub the spice mixture over the entire surface. Wrap
tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 300 F. Place the seasoned pork belly in a small baking dish just large
enough to hold it. Pour the chicken stock around, not over, the pork belly; cover with
aluminum foil and place in the oven. Braise the pork belly for 6 hours, checking
occasionally to make sure the liquid has not cooked away (add more, if needed). At this
point, the pork belly can be cooled to room temperature, wrapped tightly and stored in the
refrigerator for up to 2 days.
3. Pour the wine and port into a wide, shallow pan (I used a 2-quart enameled cast iron
Dutch oven) that has been heated until very hot over high heat, and add the thyme and
bay leaf. Bring to a boil; lower the heat slightly and reduce by half. Add the chicken
stock and boil again, before reducing to a simmer; continue cooking for another 10
minutes.
April-May 2012
22
4. While the wine is reducing, melt the ghee over medium-high heat in a 10-inch saut pan.
Cook the mushrooms without crowding them, in batches if necessary, until they are a
golden brown. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle with salt and set aside.
5. Slice the pork belly into 1" pieces and lay flat on a baking sheet. Turn the broiler of the
oven to "low" and place the pork belly 2 inches away from the heat; cook until the pork
belly becomes crispy, about 3 minutes, rotating the baking sheet once halfway through.
Divide the pork and mushrooms between six plates; cover and keep warm.
6. Pierce the large end of each egg with a straight pin or egg pricker about 3/8 of an inch
deep; lower the eggs into a saucepan of boiling water for exactly 10 seconds, and remove
immediately.
7. Remove the thyme and bay leaf from the wine mixture. Crack the eggs into small cups.
Bring the liquid almost to, but not quite, a boil. Holding the cups as close to the liquid as
possible, slide the eggs, in batches if necessary, into the wine and cook for 4 minutes.
Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon, allowing them to drain, before placing each on a
plate with the pork belly and mushrooms. Spoon some of the poaching liquid over each
plate, season with salt and pepper, and serve.

2.4 Eggs and Pesto in Bacon Wrapped Bell Peppers with Sweet Potato Hash
INGREDIENTS:
eggs
bell pepper
bacon
pesto
sweet potatoes
salad
balsamic vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. The sweet potato hash is chopped up/shredded skinless sweet potato mixed with egg and
cooked up until the sweet potato is soft.
2. The side salad is the only thing without eggs. Just use up the extra pesto and pieces of
bell pepper with some arugula and balsamic vinegar.
NOTES:
April-May 2012

Serve with side salad.

Original idea from this CrossFit CatCave article, but uses bacon wrapped bell peppers
(instead of tomato) and arugula (instead of romaine) to give the pesto an extra kick.
2.5 Lamb Scotch Eggs

INGREDIENTS:
4 eggs
ground lamb (approx 250g)
almond meal
ghee or any paleo cooking fat
garlic
paprika
thyme
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Fill a pot with cold water and hard boil three of the eggs. While the eggs are cooking,
chop up and crush a few cloves of garlic with a few pinches of thyme and mix them
thoroughly into the lamb mince. Stir a teaspoon of paprika into a bowl with the almond
meal, about one and half stacked tablespoons per egg is enough. Crack the last egg into a
bowl and beat it together.
2. When the eggs are done, take them out and shell them. Gently wrap a handful of mince
around each egg, pinching it together so it's smooth. Dip each of them into the bowl of
beaten egg and then roll them in the almond meal mix until they're covered and there are
no especially damp spots.
3. Melt some ghee into a pan, enough to shallow fry three eggs. Gently place each egg into
the pan one at a time and roll them on a medium heat every minute or two until all the
sides are golden brown. The trick is getting the mince cooked before the almond meal is
burned on the outside. When the lamb is cooking the fat inside will leak out the bottom
side of the eggs making one or two cracks. That's the sign they're almost done.
4. When they're cooked through, take them out of the pan and onto a plate with some fresh
greens or salad.
NOTES:
Sheep eat more grass than pigs and lamb is a nice gamey meat with more flavor than
sausage mince that doesn't need to be heavily spiced.

2.6 Poached Duck Eggs

Blog: http://www.healthy-meal-plans.net/healthy-meal-plans-2/poached-duck-eggs-breakfast-ofchampions/
INGREDIENTS:
2 duck eggs
cup vinegar
fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Fill a large (6-quart or more) pot two-thirds full with water. Add the vinegar and bring to
a rolling boil over high heat. Turn the heat off, but dont remove the pot from the burner.
2. Crack the eggs into a small, heatproof bowl, being careful not to break the yolks. As soon
as the bubbles stop rising in the hot water/vinegar mixture and the liquid is completely
still, lower the bowl of eggs very slowly into the hot water, allowing the liquid to
gradually flow into the bowl and cover the eggs. When the eggs are completely
underwater, slide them gently out of the bowl to rest on the bottom of the pot.
3. Set a timer for 4 1/2 minutes. When the timer goes off, fish the eggs out of the pan with a
slotted spoon. (A fork can be useful for loosening the eggs from the bottom of the pot if
they stick.) Let the eggs drain through the slots in the spoon for several seconds, and
serve on a warmed plate with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs if desired.
4. Ideally, the yolk of the poached egg will stay intact if you cut the white away from the
yolks edge with a fork, and will be thick, but still liquid when the yolk is pierced.
NOTES:
Serves two as a side dish.

A note about chicken eggs: Obviously, duck eggs are relatively hard to find. Chicken
eggs are also excellent when poached, though I personally prefer the texture of duck eggs
in general. Since chicken eggs are usually smaller than duck eggs, try poaching them for
4 minutes instead of 4 minutes, and adjust the time as needed to reach the perfect
doneness for your size of egg.

2.13 Hard-Cooked Eggs (alternative to hard boiling eggs)

Submitted by: zenon
INGREDIENTS:
eggs
water
salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Heat a pot of water to just above 85C/185F.
2. Use a meat thermometer to monitor the temperature.
3. Carefully lower the eggs into the pot with a spoon.
April-May 2012

4. Maintain the eggs at 80-85C/175-185F for about 13-14 minutes.

5. Remove the eggs from the pot. You don't need to put them in cold water.
6. Peel and serve with salt.
NOTES:
Recipe posted in response to editorial by McGee: Though we commonly speak of hardboiled eggs, boiling is not a good way to cook eggs. Turbulent water knocks the eggs
around and cracks shells ... and a water temperature way above the protein coagulation
temperature means that the outer layers of the white get rubbery while the yolk cooks
trough ... A properly prepared hard-cooked egg is solid but tender, not rubbery; its shell
is intact and easy to peel; its yolk well centered and not discolored; its flavor delicate,
not sulfurous.
Method variation submitted by JansSushiBar: You can also put the eggs in a pot of cold
water to cover, bring them to a boil then turn the heat off and cover them for 10 minutes
before running cold water over them.
2.14 Stuffed Deviled Eggs

2.15 Paleo-Friendly Mayonnaise

INGREDIENTS:
2 eggs
1 Tbsp lemon juice
tsp ground mustard
cup Paleo-compliant oil (olive oil, walnut oil, flax oil, high-oleic sunflower oil)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Crack the eggs into the jar of a blender. (The recipe works best if the eggs are at room
temperature.)
2. Add the lemon juice and ground mustard and process on high for several seconds.
3. With the blender still running continuously, remove the access lid and drizzle a thin
stream of oil VERY SLOWLY into the egg mixture. It should take a full minute or two to
add all of the oil.
4. Whizz the mayonnaise mixture until thick and smooth, but don't expect it to be the
consistency of commercial mayonnaise-- it will be pourable, though it will thicken a bit
further when chilled.
5. Store in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
NOTES:
Makes about 1 cup.

Mayonnaise contains raw eggs. This is a good time to find a trustworthy source of fresh,
local eggs, which are generally safer than factory eggs. Regardless of the source,
however, there is a risk of bacterial contamination in any recipe using raw eggs.

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 cups light olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Place the egg yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer and attach the paddle.
Beat for 1 or 2 minutes until they are thick and sticky.
Add the vinegar, honey, salt and mustard.
Beat for 30 seconds more.
Begin adding the oil a tablespoon or two at a time while the mixer is running.
Continue beating for 10 seconds or so after each addition, to be sure the egg yolks are
absorbing the oil.
7. After 1/3 to 1/2 cup of oil has been incorporated, the mayonnaise will thicken to the
consistency of heavy cream and it will no longer be in danger of separating or curdling.
8. Beat in the remaining oil in a thin, steady stream it helps to rest the lip of the measuring
cup on the edge of the mixing bowl.
9. If the mayo becomes too thick and stiff, beat in drops of vinegar or lemon juice to thin it
out, then continue with the oil.
10. Season to taste, if necessary.
NOTES:
If not using immediately, scrape it into a clean, dry container with a tight lid and
refrigerate. It will keep for 5 to 7 days.

3 AVOCADO
Ahhh, Avocado. The butter of the vegetables. Interesting fact: The avocado gets its name from
the Latin American Nahuatl word ahuacatl, which happens to mean 'Testicle', because of its
suggestive ball-like shape.
Avocados have been eaten regularly at least 291 years before Common Era, first discovered in
Mexico. The Aztecs not only ate avocados for nourishment, but also as a sexual stimulant.
Avocados have about 35% more potassium than bananas, and are rich in vitamins B, E, and K.
Avocados are loaded with delicious monounsaturated fats, and have been shown to lower blood
cholesterol levels.

Drop spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper.
Bake for ~20 minutes.
NOTES:
Coconut milk recommendation: half full fat, half light - from Trader Joes.
I like mine chewy and gooey but you can increase the baking time if you like more baked
cookies. Check doneness by looking for browning edges.

3.8 Ice cream with 100% Cacao Ganache

INGREDIENTS:
3 avocados
cup cream or coconut cream
stevia, to taste (optional)
Chocolate Ganache (optional):
40g cacao
50ml cream
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Throw the avocados in the blender and blend until smooth.
2. Separately, whip the cream to soft peaks. If using coconut cream, use the top half of the
can (skip the watery stuff).
3. Fold the avocados into the cream. Add stevia or sweetener, to taste (optional).
4. You can eat it now as a mousse, or pop it in the freezer for 30 mins. After that, give it a
mix and put it back in for another 30 mins. If you leave it in the freezer for a long period
it will get rock hard. Don't worry though, just leave it out to soften. Or, if impatient like
me, put it in the microwave for a bit.
5. Optional chocolate ganache: Melt the chocolate. (I don't bother with double broiler or ban
marie things. Just put it on some heat and melt it.)
6. Add cream and mix until shiny.
7. Add it on top of the ice cream before it gets too cool... or it will solidify. (I actually like it
a bit more on the solid side). Use stevia to sweeten, if desired. (I find the ice cream really
cuts out the bitterness of the chocolate.)
NOTES:
Cacao: I use SCHOC 100% cacao, but the Lindt Excellence 85% chocolate or higher is
fine too.

1 Tbsp pickled jalapeno pepper, diced
cup mayonnaise
INSTRUCTIONS:

Combine all of the ingredients, except for the avocado.

Slice avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit.
Slice avocado, still leaving it in its shell
Top the avocado with tuna salad and serve.
April-May 2012
42
NOTES:
Be as creative as you want with your tuna salad. When I make this, I end up using about
the tuna salad per avocado.
In my opinion, it tastes better when you make the tuna salad ahead of time and make sure
it is good and chilled.

4 S ALMON
The word salmon, any variety of fish of the genera Salmo and Oncorhynchus, comes from the
Latin salmo, which later became samoun in Middle English. Many Native American tribes
depended heavily upon salmon in their diet.
A simple rule of thumb is that the vast majority of Atlantic salmon available on the world market
are farmed (almost 99%), whereas the majority of Pacific salmon are wild caught (greater than
80%).
Salmon is known for its high protein, high omega-3 fatty acid content, and high vitamin D
content.

2. I have never scaled a fish, but it was pretty easy. To cut it, I ended up rolling the skins
though (cutting it flat wasn't really working out).

4.8 Cashew and Macadamia Crusted Salmon

INGREDIENTS:
salmon
1 small handful of macadamia nuts
1 small handful of cashews
cumin
coconut oil
sweet potato
broccoli
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Roughly crush the cashews and macadamia nuts (you could use a food processor for this
step).
2. Combine the crushed nuts with a pinch of cumin and firmly coat the salmon on one side
with the mix.
3. Heat a pan with some coconut oil and while it's melting, boil/microwave/bake the sweet
potato and the broccoli.
4. Fry the salmon in the pan for 2-3 minutes on each side or until it begins to brown.
5. When the sweet potato is done remove it from the skin, mash it lightly and add it to a dish
with the salmon and broccoli.
4.9 Raw Honey Glazed Salmon

INGREDIENTS:
wild salmon filet
raw honey
coconut oil
carrots
plum (or fig)
bacon
INSTRUCTIONS:
April-May 2012
51
1. Cut up some peeled carrots and saut them in coconut oil with some raw honey as well.
2. Put the filet on a piece of foil, big enough to wrap around the filet (and some extra room
for the additional stuff).
3. Coat the filet with coconut oil and some more raw honey and put the cooked carrots and
sauce on top once they are soft.
4. Fold the aluminum into a pouch and pop it in the oven. Make sure to tent the foil a little
big so there is some room for ventilation. It is also wise to put the foiled fish in a baking
dish so that it doesn't leak all over the oven.
5. While the fish is cooking, cook the bacon.
6. Cut up the plum (or fig)
7. When the fish is 5 minutes from being done, open the foil pouch and insert the bacon and
plum (or fig) on top.
8. After it is done, take the whole thing out and enjoy.
NOTES:
Sorry about the lack of amounts and cooking times, but it really depends on the size of
the filet. The one I used was particularly thick, so it took a while to cook.
I like to remove the skin before I eat the fish. I also baked a sweet potato to serve as a
side, but that is not in the picture.

10. Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
11. The fish is done when pink/white and flakey and when everything else appears done as
well.
NOTES:
It is important to get thick asparagus spears so that they DO NOT get too mushy during
cooking.
Be sure to cube potatoes small enough so that that they DO get mushy.

5 T OMATO
This odd fruit was first introduced to Europeans by explorers returning from the New World. In
about 700 AD, the Aztecs began to cultivate tomatoes and it was through them that the rest of the
world got tomatoes.
Tomatoes are a natural antioxidant that can help prevent a number of diseases, including heart
disease and some cancers. They are an excellent source of potassium, calcium, and vitamin A
and C. All of these are important nutrients needed for optimal health.

7.3 Goan Vindaloo Curry

INGREDIENTS:
2 lb pork shoulder, cubed
12 dry Kashmiri chilies
2 large pods of garlic
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp cumin seeds
cup vinegar
oil for cooking
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Salt pork generously to draw out the moisture.

Let sit for at least half an hour, and then thoroughly pat dry.
Leave it out to get to room temperature.
Remove seeds from the Kashmiri chilies (if whole ones are being used).
In a blender, blend together the chilies, garlic, turmeric and cumin seeds in a blender.
Add a splash of vinegar (enough to make the spice mixture into a thick paste).
Sear pork in a little oil until sealed.
Add the spice paste and cook for 5 minutes on high.
Add about a cup to a cup of vinegar to the pot. Turn down heat and simmer on low
for half an hour.
NOTES:
Pork shoulder: or use any other slow cooking meat, like stewing beef for example.
Kashmiri chilies: this can be bought at Indian grocery stores. Sometimes they just sell it
as a powder instead of the chili. These are not spicy chilies but are used mainly to give
the curry the fiery red color. I've been told you could substitute it with paprika.
It looks very spicy because of the color, but it's really more of a tangy taste due to the use
of vinegar.

8.5 Tomato, Basil Shrimp Stir Fry with "paleo pasta"

Submitted by: zak_on_reddit
April-May 2012
75
INGREDIENTS:
to 1 lb shrimp
1 can diced tomatoes
1 yellow onion
1-2 cloves garlic
2-3 tsp dried basil
salt & pepper, to taste
capers
fresh parmesan cheese
hot sauce, to taste (optional)
olive oil or coconut oil
Paleo Pasta:
1 zucchini
1 yellow squash
1 carrot
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Put oil in pan on medium heat.
2. Add onions & garlic.
3. Saut until onions start to soften. Be careful not to overcook them otherwise they'll be
mushy.
4. Add tomatoes, basil, salt, pepper, hot sauce & shrimp to pan and simmer for about 5
minutes (shrimp cooks quickly).
5. Add capers to pan when shrimp are about halfway cooked
6. Once shrimp are cooked to desired taste, remove pan from heat.
7. Make Paleo pasta:
a. Boil water in a pot.
b. Use a y peeler to cut length-wise strips from the zucchini, squash & carrot. Try
to cut them as thick as the peeler allows.
c. Peel a few strips from one side then turn the veggie so the flat side is on the
cutting board -- it's easier to cut with a flat side.
d. Boil the strips for no more than a minute. They'll be thin enough that it doesn't
take long to cook them. If you over cook them they'll get mushy. A quick boil will
keep them firm enough that they twirl like pasta.
8. Serve shrimp & tomato stir fry on the "paleo pasta".
9. Add additional capers (to taste)
10. Add fresh ground parmesan.
NOTES:
Makes 2 servings.
Diced tomatoes: I like Muir Glen.
Onion: I like large slices instead of diced small.
April-May 2012
76
Basil: fresh basil would be even better!

Hot sauce: use just enough to give it a little bit of heat. It contrasts nicely with the
sweetness of the onions.
Paleo Pasta: cut the vegetables so they are ribbon sliced, or like noodles or wide pasta.
This pairs well with a medium-bodied wine like a Malbec or Shiraz.

2 Tbsp tomato paste
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place cabbage head in a tall stock pot
of boiling water to cover.

put the cabbage in the bag and close it
with a twist tie; it makes it easier to
snag the cabbage with a meat fork and
get it out of the water when it's done.

4. Remove it from the stock pot and let it
cool and drain in a bowl or colander.

the petals on a flower until you get to
the small, tangled inner leaves.

free from the outer leaves and set it
aside for another use.

cabbage back up around the meat
filling.
14. To serve the stuffed head of cabbage,
cut wedges from it with a sharp knife.
NOTES:
Serves 4.
It's a bit messy, but you can eat the wedges like a big soft taco. Take the outer leaf off of
the taco before eating it, placing it on the plate to catch the meat that fell out. When
done with the main part, roll up the outer leaf with the dropped filling and eat that.

12.4 Pork Chops Simmered In Diced Tomatoes

Submitted by: zak_on_reddit
INGREDIENTS:
2 boneless pork chops (big ones)
1 can diced tomatoes
to zucchini chopped
green pepper chopped
8-10 mushrooms, sliced
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 large bay leaf (or 2 small)
1 large garlic cloves (or 2 small)
salt & pepper
hot, smoked paprika
splash of red wine or tequila
yams or cauliflower, mashed
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Put diced tomatoes, wine/tequila and all the spices/seasoning into a frying pan and
simmer low for a couple of minutes.
2. Don't simmer so much that it reduces down.
3. Add the pork chops & veggies to the pan and continue to simmer on low heat until the
chops are done.
4. It only takes about 5-10 minutes.
5. I like my pork chops with a whisper of pink or just past pink so they are tender.
6. If you simmer this too long the chops can get chewy.
7. I put just a pinch of the paprika into the mix, just enough to add smoky flavor to the
tomatoes.
NOTES:
Diced tomatoes: suggested brand is Muir Glen.

Zucchini/green pepper: be sure not to chop too small.
Mushrooms: can also halve or quarter them.
Basil/oregano/paprika: measurements approximate; measure to preferred taste.
Yams/cauliflower: you can also use red skinned potatoes (mashed) if you're not worried
about the carbs.
I love this meal in cooler weather.
It also pairs well with a medium-full bodied red like a Malbec or Shiraz.

12.6 Simple Creamy Mustard Pork Tenderloins

Submitted by: BruteEpaise
INGREDIENTS:
pork tenderloins
mustard seeds
your favorite mustard
35% whipping cream
Ghee
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Pre-heat your saut pan.

Cut the tenderloins into 4-5 pieces.
Add ghee to the pan, once its hot.
Add the pork as soon as the ghee is melted.
Let the pork cook till there is a tasty caramel-colored crust on each side. (Cooking time
per side varies, but I'd say leave them untouched at least 3-4 minutes per side.)
6. Add the mustard seeds (they'll provide some texture later in your dish).
7. When you can smell the mustard scent from the seeds, add the cream.
8. Add enough cream to have your tenderloins sit in about half an inch of cream.
9. Lower the cooking temperature.
10. With a spoon make sure you 'deglaze' the bottom of your pan.
11. The cream will become light brown.
12. Add your favorite mustard, adding enough for your taste preference.
13. Mix the mustard with the cream, tasting often.
14. Cover the pan and finish cooking the pork to your taste preference.
15. Turn the meat often to infuse it with the flavors.
NOTES:
Serve with your favorite vegetables; sauted Brussels sprouts are awesome with this.
Make sure to add the some of the creamy sauce on top of your meat.
This dish is dangerously tasty when reheated.
Note that the fat in the sauce might separate a bit if microwaved to reheat.
13 G ARLIC
Closely related to the onion, chive, shallot, and leek, common garlic usage dates back over 6000
years, native to China. The garlic's bulb is the most commonly eaten, but the flowers and the
April-May 2012
105
leaves, although much less pungent, are also edible. The flavor and strength of garlic ranges
significantly according to how it is prepared.
Garlic also has a 'home remedy' history dating thousands of years back. Galen, a prominent
Roman physician, declared garlic as the 'cure-all' remedy. It is claimed that garlic helps prevent
heart disease and cancer. Countries where garlic is consumed in higher amounts, for traditional
reasons, have been found to have a lower prevalence of cancer (although correlation may not
imply causation). A Czech study found garlic supplementation reduced accumulation of
cholesterol on the vascular walls of animals. Garlic has also been used as an antiseptic during the
World Wars to prevent gangrene.
13.1 Kimchi
INGREDIENTS:
1 large Chinese or Napa cabbage
1 gallon of water
cup kosher salt
1 small head of garlic, peeled & finely minced
1 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled & minced
cup fish sauce (no sugar added)
cup chili paste
1 bunch green onions, sliced, including green parts
1 medium daikon radish, peeled and grated
1 large carrot, peeled and grated
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Slice the cabbage lengthwise in half; cut away the tough stem parts.
2. Chop roughly.
3. Dissolve the salt in the water in a large stock pot; place the cabbage in the water.
4. Place a plate on top, weighted if necessary, to keep the cabbage submerged.
5. Place on the counter for at least 2 hours, or up to 24.
6. Mix the remaining ingredients in a very large metal or glass mixing bowl.
7. Drain the cabbage; rinse, and squeeze it dry.
8. Add the cabbage to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
9. Pack the kimchi into two 2-quart, clean glass jars and cover tightly.
10. Allow the jars to stand for one to two days in a cool place, around room temperature, out
of the sun.
11. Check the kimchi each day for 1 to 2 days.
12. When the fermentation process has begun, the kimchi will bubble slightly, and should be
refrigerated. If not, let it stand another day.
April-May 2012
106
NOTES:
Servings: 32
Yields 4 quarts.
I do not recommend allowing it to sit on the counter for more than three days - refrigerate
the jars; they will still ferment.
Once refrigerated, the kimchi is ready to serve. It will keep for many weeks, and continue
to ferment and become sourer. If, at any point, it begins to smell bad, throw it away

NOTES:
Roasting garlic: ideally, you'll be doing this along with something else being roasted,
since that's a lot of gas or electricity to use for one little garlic head. The cooking
temperature is not set in stone; roasted garlic is pretty forgiving.
This can be a bit of a pain in a blender; keep at it, but don't overdo it-- it's not very
appealing when completely homogenized.
Makes 2 generous side servings.
13.3 Garlic Balsamic Crusted Pork Tenderloin

I've read a lot about using cauliflower in otherwise unexpected ways, including as a
substitute for mashed potatoes, but had yet to try it. And since nothing complements
mashed potatoes better than a lot of garlic, I decided to add garlic to the generic mashed
cauliflower recipe.

14 B ROCCOLI
Broccoli, a plant that comes from the cabbage family, was first introduced into the United States
by Italian immigrants but didn't become widely known until the 1920's.
Broccoli is high in vitamin C, as well as dietary fiber; it also contains multiple nutrients with
potent anti-cancer properties, such as diindolylmethane and small amounts of selenium.
Overcooking broccoli (when the broccoli has a mushy, limp consistency) can dramatically
eliminate these nutrients from the vegetable.

INGREDIENTS:
1 broccoli head, stem discarded
2-3 tsp kosher or sea salt, divided
favorite seasonings, to taste
Garnish (optional):
goat cheese, sliced thin
a few, whole walnuts
freshly ground pepper
olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In a large pot, bring water to a rapid boil.
2. Place the broccoli on its crown (with the stem toward the ceiling), hold at the center stem,
and slowly spin it clockwise while cutting the florets off, holding the knife at a 45 degree
angle.
3. Continue cutting the rest of the florets off from the center stem, discarding it.

10. Meanwhile, cut goat cheese into thin slices about thick.
a. To make this easier, hold the blade of the knife in the boiling broccoli water for a
few seconds to heat it up.
b. This will allow you to smoothly slice the cheese without it crumbling.
c. Set aside.
11. Test the doneness of the boiling broccoli with your knife by slicing through a few
broccoli florets that are floating on the surface against the side of the pot. If the knife
slices through the broccoli with some resistance, the broccoli is done. Do not overcook
or wait till the broccoli is mushy. The broccoli should be bright green. Do not cook
broccoli for more than 4 minutes total!
12. Drain the broccoli, reserving the broccoli water.
13. While the broccoli is still steaming and piping hot, put the florets into a blender. (Do not
overfill perform this step twice if your blender is small.)
14. Add some of the reserved broccoli water to the jar of the blender, depending on desired
consistency. (Do not overwater! Its easier to keep adding more water as you go.)
April-May 2012
113
15. Cover the blender and pulse the blender a few times to let the water settle down with the
mixture.
16. While still covered and holding your hand over the cover, blend on high.

a. Put a few almonds at the bottom-center of a soup bowl and offset-stack 2 slices of
goat cheese on top of the walnuts.
b. Grind freshly cracked pepper over the goat cheese.
c. Slowly pour the broccoli soup into the bowl to the side of the garnish in the center
of the bowl being careful not to pour it OVER the cheese-stack garnish. Do not
overfill the stacked cheese garnish should not be submerged.
d. Finish by drizzling a ring of a little bit of olive oil around the goat cheese (on the
soup part).
NOTES:
Broccoli selection: choose a dark green broccoli head where the florets are all nice and
tightly closed up.
Goat cheese: use a nice ash-rolled version.

15 O NION
Common onions are normally available in three colors: yellow, red, and white. Yellow onions
are full-flavored and are a reliable standby for cooking almost anything. Yellow onions turn a
rich, dark brown when cooked and give French onion soup its tangy sweet flavor. The red onion
is a good choice for fresh uses or in grilling and char-broiling. White onions are the traditional
onion used in classic Mexican cuisine. They have a golden color and sweet flavor when sauted.
In ancient Greece, athletes ate large quantities of onion because it was believed to lighten the
balance of blood. Roman gladiators were rubbed down with onion to firm up their muscles. In
the Middle Ages, onions were such an important food that people would pay their rent with
onions, and even give them as gifts. Doctors were known to prescribe onions to facilitate bowel
movements and erections, and also to relieve headaches, coughs, snakebite and hair loss.

16 A SPARAGUS
By around 20,000 BP, asparagus was being eaten near Aswan in Egypt. It has been used as a
vegetable and medicine, owing to its delicate flavor, diuretic properties, and more. It is pictured
as an offering on an Egyptian frieze dating to 3000 BC. Still in ancient times, it was known in
Syria and in Spain. Greeks and Romans ate it fresh when in season and dried the vegetable for
use in winter; Romans would even freeze it high in the Alps, for the Feast of Epicurius. Emperor
Augustus reserved the Asparagus Fleet for hauling the vegetable, and coined the expression
"faster than cooking asparagus" for quick action.
Asparagus is low in calories and is very low in sodium. It is a good source of vitamin B6,
calcium, magnesium and zinc, and a very good source of dietary fiber, protein, vitamin A,
vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin, rutin, niacin, folic acid, iron, phosphorus,
potassium, copper, manganese and selenium, as well as chromium, a trace mineral that enhances
the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells. The amino acid
asparagine gets its name from asparagus, as the asparagus plant is rich in this compound.

17 H ONEY
Honey bees transform nectar into honey by a process of regurgitation, and store it as a primary
food source in wax honeycombs inside the beehive. Beekeeping practices encourage
overproduction of honey so the excess can be taken from the colony.
The health benefits of honey like all foods depend on the quality of the honey. But in this
case, the situation is even more extreme, because the pollen that collects on the bees' legs as they
move from plant to plant is only as healthful and as diverse as those plants. In addition, the
processing of honey often removes many of the phytonutrients found in raw honey as it exists in
the hive. Raw honey, for example, contains small amounts of the same resins found in propolis.
Propolis, sometimes called "bee glue," is actually a complex mixture of resins and other
substances that honeybees use to seal the hive and make it safe from bacteria and other microorganisms.

18 L ARD /B UTTER /FAT

Fats consist of a wide group of compounds that are generally soluble in organic solvents and
generally insoluble in water. Chemically, fats are triglycerides, triesters of glycerol and any of
several fatty acids. Fats may be either solid or liquid at room temperature, depending on their
structure and composition.
Examples of edible animal fats are lard, fish oil, butter/ghee and whale blubber. They are
obtained from fats in the milk and meat, as well as from under the skin, of an animal. Examples
of edible plant fats include peanut, soya bean, sunflower, sesame, coconut and olive oils, and
cocoa butter.
Relatively few non-western diets are high in animal fat, though butter ghee is popular in India,
and animal fats are primary in the diet of the Intuit people, which are generally considered
healthier than the high animal fat western diets because of the presence of monounsaturated fats
and omega-3 fatty acids.

vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, magnesium, manganese, folate, betaine, iron, vitamin B2,
calcium, potassium, vitamin B6, folic acid, copper, protein, phosphorus, zinc, niacin, selenium
and omega-3 fatty acids. Recently, opioid peptides called rubiscolins have also been found in
spinach.
Depending on the variety, lettuce is a good source of vitamin A and potassium, with higher
concentrations of vitamin A found in darker green lettuces. It also provides some dietary fiber
(concentrated in the spine and ribs), carbohydrates, protein and a small amount of fat. With the
exception of the iceberg type, lettuce also provides some vitamin C, calcium, iron and copper,
with vitamins and minerals largely found in the leaf.

20 H ALIBUT /H ADDOCK /T ILAPIA

Halibut have historically been an important food source to Native Americans and Canadian First
Nations and continue to be a key element to many coastal subsistence economies.
Accommodating the competing interests of commercial, sport, and subsistence users is a
challenge.
The Atlantic population is so depleted through overfishing that it may be declared an endangered
species. According to Seafood Watch, consumers should avoid Atlantic halibut. Most halibut
eaten on the East coast of the United States are from the Pacific.
Tilapia have very low levels of mercury, as they are fast-growing, lean and short-lived, with a
primarily vegetarian diet, and so do not accumulate mercury found in prey. Feral tilapia,
however, may accumulate substantial quantities of mercury. Tilapia is low in saturated fat,
calories, carbohydrates and sodium, and is a good protein source. It also contains the
micronutrients phosphorus, niacin, selenium, vitamin B12 and potassium.
20.1 Thai Fish Cakes

INGREDIENTS:
lb white flesh fish
2 Tbsp coconut cream
2 Tbsp fish sauce
5 kaffir lime leaves
tsp chili powder
tsp ground cumin
tsp ground coriander
2 shallots
1 piece of ginger
4 garlic cloves
2 dried red chilies
(optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until you have a sticky paste.
2. Form into small round balls (I found it easiest to just take a tablespoon to scoop out balls
as it was very sticky).
3. Heat a generous amount of coconut oil in a frying pan and fry the fish paste.
4. Drain on paper towel to soak up extra oil.

1 batch Roasted Garlic Fauxtatoes (see 13.2 recipe)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place the frozen green beans and water or broth in an oven- and microwave-safe
casserole dish.
2. Microwave on high until thawed (about 3 minutes in my microwave; yours may vary).
3. Place the haddock fillets on top of the green beans and sprinkle evenly with the salt,
pepper, garlic powder, and dill weed.
4. Cover the casserole and microwave on high until the fish is just cooked through (2 1/2
minutes in my microwave).
