Oil Protein Diet Cookbook as a GUIDE.
Having read all the Oil Protein Cookbook it is clear that is is intended as a guide to the use of Quark and Flax oil. How much of the diet you intend to use or administer to a sick person is up to you. If you are healthy or a sports person then many of the recipes can be used as healthy replacements for commercial products such a mayonnaise, ice creams, soups and dressings. The advice of what not to eat should not be overlooked as that in itself can stop a deterioration in health.

The making of OLEOLOX from garlic, coconut fat, flax oil and an onion makes a viable alternative to butter or margarine although it does not have the same taste. A single batch can last up to 2 weeks. After you have used it for some time going back to quality butter tastes strange so it is just a matter of what you get used to.

I have to agree that the translation from the German seems to be a problem but it does not undermine the recipes when used from the health point of view as only a few are complex. You choose how use the variations suggested. Best of luck with the diet.

A Book for Health
Sure there are some strange ingredients and recipes in the Oil Protein Coobook. However, if one is seeking excellent health and/or recovery from disease it pays to be a bit adventurous and open minded about food. Give it go even if it sounds and looks a bit odd! You never now, you might love the taste of it. Some ingredients are indeed a bit hard to find, but improvisations are always possible if you are flexible with the recipes. This is an excellent book. My father was dying of cancer and is still alive and well because of flax seed oil and Dr. Budwig's findings.

Obscure ingredients - not for British people!
This book has been translated from the original German - and it shows. Many of the recipes contain the author's own inventions - one a cereal made from cracked flax seed, honey and milk powder, and the other a fat made from coconut fat, onion, garlic and flax seed oil. This immediately put me off.

Most of the recipes just didn't inspire - though there is a nice-sounding icecream made from quark, flax seed oil, milk, honey and fruit, which I might try.

Apart from that, several recipes contained ingredients I'd never heard of - and I am not an unadventurous eater. No doubt there are some good ones in there, but so many that didn't interest me at all that I'd return the book if I could be bothered to!
