Coconut oil

I had a bad week last week when everything that could 'flare up' (arthritis, sinusitis, reflux, breathlessness, chest pain, fatigue, etc) did just that. So bought a book on 'Anti inflammation Diet'....any port in a storm. Think it's something I eat or a combination that starts these flare ups.
Thought I'd try the recipe for Zucchini Bread as we have a surfeit of courgettes. But the recipe calls for coconut oil and having bought it the label informs me it's 86.6g per 100g saturated fat. Doesn't sound very healthy to me.
Has anyone used this or have any advice to offer? hmm

Can we have the recipe for the brown rice and lentil nut loaf please?
Sounds yummy!

I made these Jamaican Veggie Patties yesterday, very yummy. I added turmeric and garum masala to the lentils and left out the corn, cabbage, allspice, carrots, thyme, coconut milk (but used the coconut oil). I added water to make it a sloppy mixture. It's probably now more Faye's Lentil Pasties than Jamaican Veggie Patties but they were delicious. I omitted the vinegar from the pastry too.

Hi I use Coconut Oil in all of my cooking which requires frying or heating at high temperatures. It gives a lovely taste and aroma to the food and is extremely healthy. My oil of choice definitely although a bit pricey and I had to search around to buy it and ended up sourcing it from a small health food shop in Colchester.

I don't think so
