Cookbooks I Just Could Not Live Without

Posted on

12 Comments

When I visit my family we spend most of our time in the kitchen cooking, that’s how we catch up on what is going on in our lives. Our conversations are mingled with interceptions of how much sugar to pour in, how to better slice the runner beans, how many times one should soak and rinse the rice before cooking (3 times is the correct answer) and a whole load of food related comments that come up as we prepare, cook and bake.

This is all very lovely but I find myself at a slight disadvantage... my sister is a Chef who had her own restaurant for over 15 years and my mum’s cooking is so legendary that wedding planners have asked for her recipes. Even my brother’s girlfriend Veronica is an accomplished cook, despite being a strict vegetarian she knows how to gut fish and make a good chicken soup for her daughter. I try my best to impress them but despite my best efforts I don’t quite cut the mustard!

Instead of envying their amazing cooking skills I’m trying to learn from them, so I always take my notepad when I visit. Over the years have put together a nice selection of dishes and techniques, I usually adapt the recipes to better suit my style of eating, such as substituting flours with starch free versions and some potatoes with other root vegetables.

Instead of relying on cook books I rather learn those who’s food I like the taste of. However there are a couple of books I just could not live with:

200_

The Art of Eating Well by Hemsley & Hemsley – My number one book for inspiration, this new way of eating has really improved my health and changed the way I look at many different kinds of foods. For example, I would never now eat nuts without pre-soaking them so that they are easily digested.

Jamie Oliver – The Return of Naked Chef - I’m not a good baker at all, so when it comes to desserts for a dinner party I know I can trust Jamie’s recipes.... because they ALWAYS work!

Deliciously Ella – Really cute and easy recipes... I also use this mainly for inspiration.

    For years, I struggled with the debilitating effects of a herpes virus infection. The outbreaks were not only painful but often seemed to coincide with times when I was feeling under the weather. Each episode brought with it an array of blisters and sores that made everyday activities uncomfortable and left me feeling frustrated and hopeless. Despite trying several medications like Valtrex and acyclovir, I found that while they helped manage my symptoms, they didn?t offer a true cure. My doctor informed me that there was no permanent solution for the herpes virus, but I couldn't shake the feeling that there had to be something out there that could help me. My belief in natural remedies, inspired by my admiration for Dr. Sebi, led me to dive deeper into the world of holistic health. It was during this search that I met someone who had experienced drastic improvement through a natural approach. She spoke highly of Dr. Utu and his herbal cures, claiming that he had completely cured her of the herpes virus within just four weeks of treatment. Intrigued but cautious, I decided to reach out to Dr. Utu. The experience was surprisingly uplifting. From our first conversation, I felt supported and heard. I learned more about his herbal remedies and how they worked to strengthen the body?s immune system and promote overall healing. With newfound hope, I ordered Dr. Utu?s herbal cure and began the treatment process. As the days turned into weeks, I began to notice a significant change. The frequency and severity of my outbreaks started to decrease, and I felt more in control of my health than I had in years. By the end of the fourth week, the transformation was undeniable. For the first time in a long time, I felt free from the constraints of the virus! Today, I am proud to say that I have been fully cured, no longer burdened by painful outbreaks or ever-present anxiety about my condition. My journey has taught me the importance of exploring alternative approaches to health and well-being, alongside conventional medicine. If you?re struggling with herpes or any similar health issues, I encourage you not to lose hope. I can guarantee that Dr. Utu Herpes Herbal Cleanser works for everyone with any type of herpes virus infection, I assure you will not waste your time and never regret knowing Dr Utu.

    Some patients with HERPES are been enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not a cure. I have been with the virus since 2015 until I was introduced by a blogger who also narrated her story online on how she was cured of Genital Herpes after using Dr Utu Herbal Cure. It's over a year now and some months since I was delivered from Herpes. All thanks to God for using this Great African herbalist to heal me. I promised to keep saying good about Dr Utu. Feel free to share Your problems with him and don?t forget to tell him that Benjy did refer you to Him. Thanks. Write him on his direct Email [email protected] He deals with all sexually transmitted diseases.

    LOVE SPELL TESTIMONY Thank you so much DOCTOR ODUNGA for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am writing this wonderful testimony in respect of this man. He made all my wishes come true. My boyfriend and i dated for more than 3 years and although we had had so many quarrels but we never thought of a break up. One day, he called me over the phone telling me how he is tired of the relationship and cannot see anywhere that we are heading to. Months have passed and my boyfriend did not contact me anymore and i did not hear from him anymore and his cell phone was disconnected. I knew i need to seek for help because of the so much love i have for him. I contacted this great spell caster because i have never contacted anyone before and i tell you that after a week of contact, my ex boyfriend called me and asked to see me and the next morning, he wore a ring on my finger.

    Natural cures for herpes have been in existence before the first Olympian threw a disc or ran a race. Modern Medicine came in like a conquering hero and all the old remedies were soon forgotten and swept under the rug. It wasn't until someone investigated all the possibilities and combinations of ancient remedies that many of the natural cures became popular.I am Ben woods, I was herpes patient for two year and have taken different prescription of drugs or medicine but there was no cure i became very sick with series of outbreaks and frustrated also, Until my friend saw and read a testimony of a lady on this blog on who was cured of herpes by prescriptions from Nature Care Health Clinic, We contacted them through their email @ [email protected] They replied us and explained to us in details about herpes in general and from the informations we provided, they were able to provide natural supplements for my condition, this natural supplements was produced by them and was sent to my address , i used them as prescribed by the doctor and to my surprise, this herbal formula worked like magic , in less than 3 weeks i noticed a great improvement just like the doctor told us and in less than a month and 2weeks i was totally cured from herpes.
