How I Cook

Hello, Gentle Readers -


I've often been asked to create a cook book. I've given this a lot of thought. It may be challenging to create a cook book when you refuse to measure!


I follow recipes. Sort of. But I realized my way of cooking is a little weird when I asked my daughter to help and I told her to smell the dish to see if it was seasoned correctly. She gave me a really strange look...


Here are a few basics which characterize my cooking.

• I use coconut oil 99.9% of the time when I cook
• I use more vegetables than anything
• I think almost everything is better with lots of onions in it
• I always saute onions, garlic, carrots, and celery to release their flavor, before adding anything else to them
• I love to cook fish, but hate over-cooked fish
• I learned from a gourmet cook that if you can make something with less ingredients, you're a better cook!

I don't believe being aware of cancer is the key to anything. I believe how you eat can make your body friendly toward, or hostile toward, the ultimate thief - cancer. Do your research. It will make you reach for Turmeric more often, like I do, and vegetable protein more often, like I do, and soy less often, like I do. 

Humans were made to drink water. So, do that. A lot. 

Eat fruit on an empty stomach, and ONLY on an empty stomach. Unless you enjoy indigestion or diarrhea. 

Experiment with raw food. Try eating vegetables you've only ever had cooked, raw, for a nice change. Just be bold. Do it. Chop 'em up, top 'em with some lemon juice or vinegar and olive oil, and go for it. 

I cook whole grains in vegetable or chicken broth. Always. 

I use only sea salt.

I like weird stuff like mung beans, fava beans, and quinoa. Add these to your shopping list, and live a little.

What I just had, though, required no cooking. You see, I feel that our commercial food supply is  bankrupt. We cook and eat food mostly for the enjoyment. The spices, like Turmeric, give it a nice anti-cancer and pro-health punch. To get the nutrition we need, I rely on nutrient-dense super foods which are live when you add water to them. 

I love to cook.

I love watching people eat what I cook.

I just know that it's social, fun, and satisfying - but not reliable as far as a source of all we need to thrive.

Stay healthy, my friends.
