Cooking!

Hi all, is there a good recipe book for endo cooking as I am blocking on food at the moment. Thank you.

Hi Anastasia17,

The endo diet is basically a gluten free vegan diet. I've found the following books that are not marketed as endometriosis friendly useful. Deliciously Ella Everyday is plant based and gluten free although she does use tamari (Japanese style soya sauce) in some recipes so it is not soya free. The refined sugar free desert section is v good in this book. Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's Much More Veg has inspiring vegan recipes for every vegetable you can think of and most recipes are wheat free or can easily be made gluten free. I'd also recommend checking out Dr Michael Greger's Nutrition Facts website and books. He doesn't specifically address endo but has the latest peer reviewed scientific data about anti inflammatory diet -which is what the endo diet is - and generally about eating to prevent disease.

Thank you Sakura22, I will definitely look at these books and websites. Both myself and my husband are adjusting my new diet to the family, like tonight, we had baked potatoes, salad (lettuce that I have grown in a big pot from the garden, I have done very little in terms of gardening this year), tuna sweetcorns and mayonnaise. I have discovered banana slush in a restaurant this weekend andwe have made some ice cream with mashed mango mixed with Koko yoghurt, so we are adapting. Thank you again.
