Every time we crack open a coconut Oscar tells me he wants to drink the coconut “juice”, because he loves the juice! But when I give him the coconut water he won’t drink it because it tastes yuck!
Last time I decide to try making coconut milk and found a simple food processor recipe to follow on Always Order Dessert, which was very easy. The hardest part is getting the flesh out of the coconut. So of course Murphy’s law reigned and Oscar didn’t like that either. So I made a milkshake instead, with nashi and coconut – Success!
Nashi and Coconut Milkshake
We still had some coconut milk left over as well as the coconut pulp, so for dessert I made a crustless coconut pie, which is more like a baked coconut custard – very delicious. And the recipe was so easy – mix it all up in the food processor then bake. The idea for the recipe came from Spry Living, and I changed the flours (although still gluten-free) and replaced the sugar and vanilla with maple syrup. The recipe can be gluten-free if using gluten-free baking powder.
In other news, I’ve just created a new blog – Just Simply Food – for all my recipes that are not suitable for Oscar or are getting into the high chemical categories (that we are currently reintroducing). I want to keep Cooking for Oscar relevant to FAILSAFE and the RPAH Elimination diet, so have decided to start a new blog for anything that doesn’t fit that. The recipes will still be free of all the artificial nasties and you can follow by email subscription, Google + and Pinterest.

Ok. Thanks Sandra. 🙂
Fresh coconut is moderate in amines and salicylates. Factory processed coconut milk/cream and coconut oil is high in amines and salicylates. The home made coconut milk is a lot less processed than that from a factory, so would still be moderate.
Coconut is low in salicylates? I remember seeing coconut oil is high is salicylates. Am I right??
