Aloha Nu Certified Organic Coconut Flour, 32-Ounce Bag Review

I'll come right out and say that gluten free baking is a pain. We went gluten free about 2 years ago and about 75% of the baked goods recipes I have tried did not work out in texture or taste. Then I read somewhere about substituting coconut flour for up to 20% of the flour in regular recipes and wondered if it would work for gluten free. It does! It gives more lift to baked goods like muffins, and adds a slight nutty flavor. One thing to be aware of is that it is moisture happy. It soaks up liquid like kitty litter, so adding a little more water or oil or whatever liquid is in the recipe is helpful. It is also helpful to let the baked goods sit a day before consuming. I'm not sure why, but this has been the case with everything I have made. It tastes "eh" the first day, and fabulous the next.

Coconut Flour, the new low-carb, high-fiber, gluten-free alternative to wheat flour for baking and cooking. Coconut Flour is made from fresh organic coconut meat. The meat is dried and defatted and then finely ground into a powder very similar in consistency to wheat flour.

La Tourangelle Avocado Oil, 16.9-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) Review

I bought Avocado Oil specifically for two reasons: one, because it is very similar to olive oil in texture and smell, yet brings a new flavor component to my cooking, and secondly and most importantly for me . . . it has a much higher smoke/burn point than extra virgin olive oil--even higher than Canola oil, grapeseed oil and yes, even safflower oil. I've also read that it's just as healthy. The smoke point of avocado oil is somewhere north of 500F! Roughly 520F in fact. That's amazing, and gives me the versatility I need to quick-fire or sear virtually anything under high heat. La Tourangelle's Avocado Oil, one of the few I've tried, tastes great! Fresh and subtly aromatic.
Basically, this has been the cure to my burned olive oil blues. That's an especially nice thing, since I have a hyper-sensitive smoke detector and have little room for error when it comes to smoke. To sum it up, though I don't always cook with it (I still use olive oil for low and medium temperature cooking), I love having avocado oil close at hand, for those times when I need it. It actually won't replace your olive oil though, because it has a somewhat different flavor, but it is a flavor I love. Avocado oil is ingenious (and a somewhat new discovery), and La Tourangelle is a trusted producer of the finest of fine edible oils. I trust their brand for some other less well-known oils as well.
Highly and enthusiastically recommended--to the point that I'm trying to persuade my family and friends to start cooking with Avocado oil.
