I am not a gourmet cook. I like recipes without exotic ingredients and complicated processes. But I also like food that tastes GOOD. This book has it covered! If you're looking for ways to get more coconut products into your diet, this book is the one to do it. I've bought a number of other books with that purpose in mind, but the recipes called for ingredients I'd never heard of and couldn't find even in health food stores. Just as Bruce Fife has made complicated concepts on nutrition easy to understand in his other books, so he has made cooking with coconut easy for those of us who are not skilled in culinary arts. Thank you, Bruce Fife.

Fans of coconut will find Coconut Lover's Cookbook by Bruce Fife to be a compelling little guide which packs in both sweet and savory recipes for use of the coconut, from healthy blender drinks to main courses, biscuits and breads, and desserts. No photos, but the easy dishes don't require them, while the range and variety of coconut dishes will delight coconut enthusiasts.

I wrote a review for his book, "cooking with coconut flour" and I had to write one for this book also. The recipes are great, easy to understand and even easier to prepare. I really enjoy his recipes and am looking foward to future cookbooks using coconut products, especially coconut flour. I love this way of eating and am happy to have recipes to make life that much easier for me.

I was looking for recipes using coconut flour. So I was disappointed that all the bakegoods used mostly whole wheat flour. There was not even one recipe using the coconut flour. I bought this book instead of the "cooking with coconut flour" because I thought it would have a mixture of recipes. The other recipes looked very good and I am looking forward to trying them.

I've only tried a few recipes so far but, they have turned out excellent. It's nice to find recipes that actually call for coconut flour and coconut oil-rather than trying to guess at what the substitution would be. Excellent source for those looking for a gleuten-free cookbook or those trying to incorporate more coconut into their eating lifestyle.

I have ordered this book in advance of the products that I need to start making some of the recipes in this book. The thing that stands out the most is that all the recipes have a bottom note to make the same recipe with less sugar and that is what is so exiting to me. I have ordered the coconut flour and have coconut milk in the frozen state so all I have to do now is to find some time to make these recipes. The mufffins are a good place to start because they are portable and can be eaten on the run. I have been diagnosed with diabetes and would like more of the foods that I can eat.

I love the Coconut Cook Book because it has so many quick, simple, easy-to-make recipes using coconut oil, coconut milk and coconut flakes. The best part is that coconut is so good for you and tastes wonderful.

Recipes are easy, delicious and healthy, even the reduced sugar ice cream. Can you imagine your mother telling you to eat your ice cream.

This book offers lots of tasty receipes of which I have tired a few with very good results. Who knew there were so many ways to incorporate coconut into one's daily diet. Also there are tips offered in each chapter which I found to be appropriate and helpful. This is a cookbook that I plan on keeping.

The book gives interesting information about the health benefits of using coconut oil in cooking and some very tasty recipies.
