Notes
Tip
Olive oil can be used sprinkled over salads, roast vegetables and more.
Tip
Use sesame oil in stir-frys to add flavour and boost the antioxidant offering. Simply slice your favourite vegetables, throw into a wok with some sesame oil and toss until just done. Serve with brown rice.
Tip
As the weather gets cooler, a great winter recipe is roasted vegetables. Simply toss cubed sweet potato with two to three tablespoons of coconut oil and bake in a moderate oven until soft and caramelised.
Tip
Butter can be used in almost any dish. Butter is a saturated fat, so it is important not to overdo it. A maximum of two tablespoons of butter per day is recommended.
Tip
Avocado oil is great for high temperature cooking as it has a very high smoking point. Use it in salad dressings or to sauté fish, chicken or roast vegetables.
Tip
Flaxseed oil has a nutty but sweet flavour. It should never be used in cooking, but rather added to cooked or raw foods. Flaxseed oil is delicious added to smoothies.
