Mom's Island Bakens is not only a recipe book, but also a course in how to cook and to alter recipes to your health specifications. Once you have learned these 50+ recipes, you will have not only a great daily diet, but also the ability to make up your own variations of a large selection of types of dishes and alter any recipe you find on the internet or otherwise into a healthy but very tasty version of your own that will serve your own dietary needs. The recipes that Martha Char Love has included are from her personal collection she has created over a 40-year span of time and that she over the years refined to be healthy versions for the gut and heart, reflecting modern knowledge about excellent nutrition and well-being.īest of all in this book, you will be given cooking tips throughout that will help you become a skilled and creative cook with gut and heart health in mind. I plan to have a special comment section on this blog for readers and cooks to share their cooking experiences with Mom's Island Bakens and i do hope you will return and share with us again.There are over 50 original recipes in Mom's Island Bakens and all are very delicious and healthy foods-many entire meals.

These three of course rule out the use of refined grains or sugars.I look forward to having you try out some of my recipes and will be interested to hear about your healthy cooking discoveries. So, while everyone's body is different (yes some people are allergic to wheat and to many other foods), there are a few things we all need to do for excellent health and three of these are what I am concentrating on in this cookbook and demonstrating how to alter food to accommodate without losing flavors: high nutrient density (making sure every bite you eat is as high as possible in nutrients) a balance of the pH acidic-alkaline levels (most diets are too alkaline) and keeping the glycemic index as low as possible. While not everyone seems to be allergic to wheat, we have experienced a need for balance in our diets.

In my family, most of the members have found that (despite some illnesses including cancer, as well as heart and gut issues) whole wheat is not an issue for us as long as it is used in very moderate amounts and it is organic (even sprouted is preferred). LInda, yes there are a number of recipes in Mom's Island Bakens using non-gluten flours, and many that I have suggested substituting my non-gluten flour blend recipe (on page 22) for whole wheat.
