In my kitchen, you will find it in every possible form – oil, milk, water, freshly grated, desiccated, milk powder, coconut sugar, dry chunks, etc. It’s not only restricted to my kitchen; you will always find a bottle of coconut oil on my dressing table.

At some point when I was growing up my mom discovered chicken cacciatore and it quickly became on of her favorite dinners to make. Somehow, I don’t think I ever tried it though.
