These days, food and diets are scrutinized: GM Food, preservatives, additives, organic farming, allergies, intolerances, salt, and sugar. The list is long!


In our household, we’ve changed our diet to cure fatigue, depression, migraines, mood swings, asthma and ezcema. We got the idea of changing our diet (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free and Refined-Sugar-Free) after consulting a child psychiatrist and a naturopath. We also read the book “Gut and Psychology Syndrome” which provide detailed information about what’s going on in the digestive system and how food can affect mental health and the nervous system (including problems such as ADHD).


Several people expressed their interest in trying a similar diet but they didn’t know where to start and what to do. A few asked me to write a cookbook. So here I am, offering you the delicious secrets of our cure!

Gluten Free and Dairy Free (casein free) Chocolate Cookies




  • 1/2 cup nut butter (I used almond butter, it could be peanut butter, hazelnut butter, or other)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cut almond flour (I used ground almonds)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, or baking powder
Mix all ingredients. form cookies, and place them in a glass cooking pan or on a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper. Bake in the oven set at 350° F for about 11 minutes.

Makes 8 cookies.

This recipe is rich in (good) fat, and chocolate, but is not very sweet. We enjoyed them! They are moist and tender. If you prefer sweeter cookies, add more honey.
