new cookbook

[Eva9]

I've just had a look at the new cookbook on line and was wondering:

the courgette and sprouts recipies
why is the carbo content of these so high. I thought courgettes and sprouts were "free" foods and can't see what else in the ingredients that would make them so high

Also I cannot find almond flour anywhere. Would blending ground almonds to dust make it into flour. And if I changed it for rice flour would the recipie work for a gluteen ?

Ground almonds are almond flour. You don't want to grind almonds too much as you get almond butter (like peanut butter, only almonds).

Almonds are good but they pack a lot of calories, 100gm are something like 700 KCal. Not recommended if you are attempting to lose weight.

My local asian 'superstore' has an aisle full of different flours all milled in different ways too. Many I haven't heard of but some of the names I do recognise are chickpea flour and mung bean flour. There's a list here: http://www.vegetarian-cooking-recipes-tips.com/list-of-grains.html
