While I certainly enjoy the cake portion of a slice of cake or a cupcake, I’m really in it for the buttercream. That thick, sugary frosting brings the sweetest finishing touch to these desserts. There are a few different styles of buttercream, but no matter which one you make, be sure to avoid these mistakes.

Fudge was always one of those sweet confections I could leave or take — it just didn’t jump out at me. But load it with sprinkles and a taste reminiscent of my childhood birthday cakes, and I can’t take my hands off. It’s a dessert mash-up of the very best kind.

I talk a lot about fat on this blog—body fat, healthy fat, harmful fat—so when I came across Romy Dollé’s book Good Fat, Bad Fat, I was more than intrigued. The only problem was, it was written in German. So my team and I at Primal Blueprint Publishing collaborated with Romy and scientific consultant Torsten Albers, MD, to give you the English version of Good Fat, Bad Fat…and today’s release day!

In a nutshell, Good Fat, Bad Fat educates readers on all aspects of dietary fat, and dispels all the “fat phobia” misinformation promoted by the mainstream.

In Good Fat, Bad Fat, you’ll learn how to:

• Break through your resistance to eating fat and gain a clear understanding of the health benefits of good fat
• Increase fat intake with nutritious fats
• Eliminate bad fats from your diet
• Enjoy 70 delicious, perfectly balanced macronutrient recipes
• Stay motivated with inspirational success stories, easy-to-understand summaries of scientific studies, psychological insights, and relatable personal anecdotes

It’s actually Romy’s second book with us. We published Fruit Belly last year, which is a four-day step-by-step plan to eliminate the digestive distress and health problems resulting from weight loss diets featuring large amounts of fruit, salad, and low-fat dairy products. If you battle fruit belly, it’s a must-read.

RÖSTI WITH FRIED EGG

Servings: 3 – 4

Ingredients:

• 1.8 lb (800 g) sweet potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
• 4 eggs
• 4 egg whites
• 2 tbsp (30 m) coconut flour
• 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
• Pinch of pepper
• 1 onion, peeled and chopped (optional)
• 3.5 oz (100 g) fried bacon, cut into cubes or strips (optional)
• 5 tbsp (74 ml) clarified butter

Preparation:

• Place the grated sweet potatoes with egg whites, coconut flour, and salt into a bowl; mix well
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tbsp (30 ml) clarified butter on medium-high
• If you want to add onion and/or fried bacon, fry them in the clarified butter until soft
• Spread the potatoes evenly over the onions and press down slightly
• Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan, and cook for about 10 minutes
• Place a large, shallow dish on the potatoes and turn the pan over; this will put the fried side of the rösti on the plate facing up
• Pour the remaining clarified butter into the pan, then let the non-fried side of the hash browns slide off the plate into the pan. Fry again for 5 – 10 minutes
• In a separate pan, fry the whole eggs
• When finished, place whole eggs and bacon atop hash browns; add pepper and serve

Serving suggestions:

Instead of a big rösti, divide the grated potatoes into three or four servings to share.

That’s it for today! I hope you love the book. And I look forward to hearing everyone’s feedback.

Forget the woodsy, folksy engagement photos of yesterday, and welcome the new trendy thing: engagement photos taken in your favorite warehouse-style grocery store. Nothing says romance like giant vacuum-packed slabs of meat and packs of toilet paper large enough to TP an entire town.

Strawberry shortcake is the ambassador of summer, showing off juicy berries like jewels. It’s usually a humble dessert built on a biscuit, but here we turn it into a towering showstopper of cake, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries. Yet it brings drama without fuss; this is layer cake the easy way.

The next time you make a batch of chicken thighs, do yourself a favor and roast them in coconut oil. I know, I know — the “coconut oil can do everything” trope is starting to get old, but believe me when I say, in this case, it will truly give you outrageously good results.
