The Cayenne & Cocoa Companion: 100 Recipes and Remedies for Natural Living

The Cayenne & Cocoa Companion is a beautiful book of one hundred recipes and remedies for natural living. Cayenne is antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and is great for skin and hair. Cocoa is wonderful for circulation, blood sugar control, and is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. The author, Suzy Scherr, has written several books highlighting healthful ingredients. Not only do her recipes have health benefits, but they also look oh-so-delicious. Some of the recipes I will be trying are Nashville Hot Chicken, Spicy Beer Cheese (a creamy, tangy, rich, spicy sauce that sounds amazing), All-Purpose Cayenne Marinade, and Spicy Chocolate Cake with Mocha Buttercream (need I say more?). This book is also wonderful because Suzy includes healing treatments. For example, her Rejuvenating Elixir is loaded with antioxidants, contributes to a glowing complexion, and is very detoxifying. The Relief for Nasal Congestion is another concoction that I would love to try since several family members have allergies. This one is a simple one with hot water, apple cider vinegar, raw honey, and cayenne pepper. . From delicious recipes to simple remedies, this is a book that all families should have on their shelves
