Comfy Belly: Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet

 

Corrections

As with any book, Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet is a snapshot in time. I continue to learn and grow since writing this book so I’ll keep you up to date on any corrections or additions to the book.

  • Page 17: step 2 should say “Remove from heat and …”
  • Page 143: step 3 should include 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract from the ingredients list
  • Page 157: 1 teaspoon baking powder = 1/2 teaspoon baking soda + 1/2 teaspoon yogurt
  • Page 5, in the Notes section for Beans and other legumes: “Soak dried beans overnight, then rinse and drain before cooking.”
  • Page 4 & 5: Elaine and some SCD followers recommend avoiding canned vegetables and fruit. Some say there are safe brands that don’t contain additives. To be sure a canned or packaged food is SCD safe, check with the manufacturer.
  • Page 14, paragraph 3: “In general, you want to soak nuts and seeds until they’re softened. For SCD, soak all beans overnight.”
  • Page 15: Soak black beans overnight, soak lentils overnight
  • Page 62, in the ingredients list: “2 cups black beans that have been rinsed and soaked in 4 quarts of water overnight, then washed and drained”
  • Page 62, step 4 should read: Add the broth, honey, and beans and blend well. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat, loosely cover and simmer for about 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Add the red pepper about 30 minutes or so before the soup is finished cooking.

    Hi — thank you for your blog. Quick question — are there egg free recipes as well? I’m allergic to eggs and have had a hard time finding egg free recipes that are SCD compliant. Thank you!

      Yes, there are. On the right side of the site, go down to By recipe and click egg-free.
