3 Carob Chocolate (cacao-free) Healing food: Cacao butter Sea Salt Carob This recipe was completely accidental. My partner, Brad, has a great intolerance to cacao (which is very common for many people with gluten sensitivities), therefore any chocolate products are off the list for him. But, he misses chocolate. By pure experimentation, I ended up using cacao butter (which is acceptable to most people) and carob powder. The combination of cacao butter, carob powder, vanilla and cinnamon is surprisingly similar to chocolate. How to make Time to prepare: 10 minutes Time to refrigerate: 30 minutes Serves: 6 servings 1. Slowly melt he cacao butter but don t let it overheat till it starts to bubble (it will then fry the carob powder). Equipment: baking or chocolate mold, mixing bowl and a whisk 2. Pour to a mixing bowl and whisk in one tablespoon on carob powder at the time. If you add all the powder at once, it will clump up. 3. Finally, whisk in salt and vanilla extract. 4. The mixture should now be as thick as a melted conventional chocolate. Pour the mixture to a baking or chocolate mold and let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to harden. 5. Tips: You can use many creative variation of this recipe by adding various fruit and spices. The recipe I photographed uses cherries. Ingredients ½ cup cacao butter 8 tbsp carob powder 1 tsp vanilla extract pinch of fine sea salt

4 Fruit Bowl Jelly Healing food: Gelatin Ginger Coconut Milk How often can you say that a dessert can be healing? Well, this one can claim it for the gelatin it is based on. Time to prepare: 30 minutes Time to refrigerate: 4 hours Serves: 6-8 servings How to make Equipment: juicer (to juice oranges and ginger). Alternatively, use an orange squeezer and skip the ginger. Nutribullet would work, too blend and squeeze juice through a cheese cloth or coffee filter. 2. Warm the juice up in a pan, stirring constantly, until very warm to the touch. Do not bring to a boil. Remove pan from the heat and whisk in gelatin. Do it slowly and in stages. Too much gelatin at once will create lumps which are no fun to eat. Ingredients: Handful of strawberries, chopped 1 ripe banana or blackened plantain, cut to pieces handful of blueberries 4 figs, cut to quarters 3 oranges 1 inch ginger 2 tbsp gelatin 1 cup coconut milk 1. Juice oranges and ginger. 3. Combine all fruit and our warm orange juice (plus gelatin) in a serving bowl. 4. Cool for about 4 hours in the fridge. 5. Gently separate the jelly from the edges of the bowl, turn it upside down, give it a bit of a knock to get it to a serving plate. 6. Pour coconut milk over the main jelly formation or onto each individual serving bowl.

5 Coconut Milk Yogurt Healing food: Coconut Milk Probiotics Making your own dairy-free, probiotic-rich yogurt is easy and absolutely delicious. Top yogurt with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds. Time to prepare: 10 minutes Time to Culture: 6 8 hours Serves: 4 How to make 1. Equipment: saucepan, thermometer, mixing bowl, whisk, mason jar, yogurt maker. Gently heat one quart coconut milk to 110F or 43C. 2. Stir in ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon starter culture.
