This is simply a flavour and aroma sensation! I stir this oil into soups or fry my favourite meats in it. It tastes great served on the side of your favourite meals for an extra boost! As it keeps really well, scale up the ingredients to make more.

Lucy & the family
A family story, rooted in gluten-free cooking

Lucy’s coeliac diagnosis changed the way the family cooked and ate. Reading labels, choosing ingredients carefully and preparing meals from scratch became second nature.

These recipes reflect our family’s love of natural, minimally processed ingredients and food to enjoy together, including recipes from our two coconut oil cookbooks.
