Whether it's maximizing flavor, saving money on home remedies, or
spicing up your beauty routine, Suzy Scherr finds the solution in a
quick trip to the kitchen. Cocoa powder and cayenne pepper are classic
flavor resources and they pack a host of holistic health benefits. Cocoa
is full of minerals like zinc and iron, skin-refreshing flavonoids, and
antidepressant properties. Meanwhile, cayenne pepper contains capsaicin,
which has been associated with boosting metabolism, lowering blood
pressure, and even relieving pain.
In The Cayenne & Cocoa Companion, Scherr treats you to tasty recipes
and DIY home fixes: Chicken Mole, Tabasco-Style Hot Sauce, Acne-Fighting
Face Masks, Back Soothing Balm, Cocoa Candles, Organic Garden Spray, and
more. No matter the craving or problem, Scherr delivers homespun advice
and simple sources of help found right in your pantry.
