Just what makes coconut oil nature's perfect ingredient? It is a healthy, natural fat that works in harmony with the body. It is gluten-free and lactose-free. It contains no cholesterol and is free from additives. The current interest in healthy eating has woken up a growing number of people to the benefits of coconut oil. Deliciously Ella uses it both for cooking and as a beauty product whilst Dale Pinnock cooks only with either olive oil or coconut oil. More and more of us are picking up a jar from our local supermarket, but once we have that jar in our kitchens, are we really making the most of coconut oil in our cooking?
