On the Paris checklist...Oooo I wanna go to Biocoop! On the Paris checklist for sure. <br /><br />Okay, coconut oil: I definitely encourage you to read up on this stuff. Cherie Calbom, who's known for her juicing prowess, has written extensively about its charms, and health benefits. In short, its fatty acid chains can't be absorbed by the human digestive system, so it's often touted as a weight-loss aid, without any sketchy chemical sides (and with health-boosting bonuses, though I don't recall all the deets on those). But, it's controversial; some studies have shown that Americans who eat more coconut oil die of more heart attacks. I'm guessing they're not eating virgin coconut oil in the context of real-food cooking, though... and American heart attacks are kind of a dime a dozen. So, in my cursory research, this oil's pros (and proponents) outweigh its cons (and naysayers). And while I certainly recognize that butter is perhaps in the French tradition (which I wholly respect and admire) irreplaceable in baked goods, I like to experiment with substitutes, just for the fun of it. Looking forward to reading what you all come up with as you do the same! Enjoy the cookies. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for linking to me, French Cannes Cannes! xoAlt-Mamahttp://www.alt-mama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7709235756019978121.post-51758226244233656082012-01-14T10:56:09.806+01:002012-01-14T10:56:09.806+01:00really?
