Have you tried cooking with essential oils? Many pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils can be safely used in cooking and provide amazing flavor! Because essential oils are much more concentrated than the herbs or plants they are derived from, you don’t need to use very much to get the same flavor. There are many cookbooks that are focused on cooking with essential oils to help you learn how much essential oil you should add to your recipes.
The cookbook Everyday Recipes for Everyday Health: Healthy Cooking with Essential Oils by David L. Keeling & Natalie E. Mazzullo is a great place to get started with using essential oils in your food. This cookbook contains over 130 recipes for beverages; weight management shakes; appetizers, soups, salads, side dishes, sauces, and main dishes using beef, chicken, fish, pork, and vegetables; and desserts.
The authors of Everyday Recipes for Everyday Health, David Keeling and Natalie Mazzullo, are both passionate about cooking and healthy eating. They are avid users of essential oils and love incorporating the oils into the food they serve their friends, family, and catering clients. They developed this cookbook so that others could experience how easy it is to cook healthy meals infused with the goodness of pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils.
