Product Description: The Oil Protein Diet CookbookBy Dr. Johanna BudwigContemporary nutritional science owes a great deal to Dr. Budwig's early discoveries on Fat Metabolism and Healing. This brilliant scientific mind has put together a wonderfully imaginative "cookbook" - a practical guide for the use of oils in daily meal preparation. Discover over 500 delicious meal possibilities using the healing powers of Flax Oil. Learn about "Good" fats and "Bad" fats - and the proper use of fats in daily cooking. Recipes for the young & young-at-heart, the convalescing, as well as the athlete. Create exciting & nutritious desserts for the whole family. Find out how Quark & Flax Seed Oil offers optimum strength & energy.
Health Straightforward and easy to follow. Based on vast experience of an accomplished researcher and experimenter. Not a fad, like so many other things to do with diet these days. Am using it for own persoanl and family use as well as for patients. Extremely valuable knowledge for anyone and everyone.
Valuable information in a poor package. I became quite interested in Dr. Budwig's work through research. My chemistry skills are pretty old, so I struggled mightily through her lectures embodied in the companion volume "Flas Oil As a True Aid ..." etc.
Now, this book is supposed to be a cookbook. The substantial value of the diet is the preparation of the flax-based key ingredients that are then replicated in every ensuing recipe.
What this book needed was a decent editor. It is a translation of work that was mainly done 60 years ago! One cannot go to Germany circa 1960 in order to implement the food plan, and so the editors needed to do just a little bit of work to make this relatively painless for implementation.
There is virtually NO decent editing work done here, and the references to Dr. Budwig's patented, offered products is not suitable. For instance, one of the key ingredients in these recipes is a "Muesli" carefully designed by Dr. Budwig. (One of her colleagues stated that he wished the beneficiaries of this diet - the users - all had a PhD in chemistry so they could understand the quality of Dr. Budwig's work.)
This Muesli ("Linomel") was once branded by Dr. Budwig, apparently, and the book references an 800 number to call. However, when you do call, they tell you that was a "misprint" in the book, and that they sell flax seed oil, and not "Linomel," Dr. Budwig's patented product.
The fact is, you will look in vain for what Linomel truly is, and therefore will have to go without it. Some internet sites tell you to simply use 4 teaspoons of freshly-ground flax seeds, and to eat them within 20 minutes. Others simply replace it with flax seed oil and cottage cheese, which, in the book, is called something else.
Therefore, when buying this book, be prepared to do a whole lot of head-scratching and web searching to get the basic ingredients down.
Also, be prepared to pay a fortune for your flax seed oil, as the cheapest it can be found, even buying bulk, is $12.50/qt. More likely you will be paying around $15 per cup!
Flax oil What could be better the information that will improve your health. For those who are not big fish eaters this is the answer.
Budwig Flax Oil cookbook review This book gives great ideas on how to use flax oil instead of other deadly oils in cooking.
