New publication: Candida Can be Fun! (Rebecca Richardson)

Just received my copy of a new Candida recipe book, Candida Can be Fun!, written by Rebecca Richardson - a fellow Candida sufferer. I've only managed to have a quick flick through, but the recipes look great and very suited to my tastes, i.e. lots of Asian and one-pot kinds of meals. And best of all, she's a Brit! So, the ingredients are familiar and easy to source. I shall try out some of the recipes this week, and report back my findings as soon as possible. In the meantime, why not try out the free recipes on Rebecca's website?

Intriguing Ways to Add Zest to your Menus...!

Nothing to do with the anti-Candida diet, but everything to do with food, an American friend recently sent me a recipe book dating from 1961 and published by the The Chun King Corporation (manufacturer of (loosely) 'Oriental' foodstuffs). It's a wonderful document; it has fantastic kitsch appeal and ties in with my current research with is looking at Western images of post-1949 China.

Quite honestly the recipes sound revolting: Most are standard American fare, 'orientalised' by the liberal use of soy sauce and crushed noodles (???!!!). The colour photography makes the dishes look particularly repulsive.



Fancy any of these appetizing dishes?!!

I particularly like the 'For Men Only' section, bless 'em. ;)

It's all fun. :)
