Meet Flavia Del Monte (pictured above).

She kinda has the perfect name for a book about flavorful cooking, eh?

I didn’t just randomly decide to interview Flavia. Nearly a decade ago, I actually met Flavia’s husband Vince Del Monte. Vince is well known in the fitness world as a go-to expert for skinny guys to build muscle (I believe when I met him he was going by the name “Skinny Guy’s Savior”), and he’s a guy who taught me a lot about how to do things like start a fitness website and write e-books.

So when I saw that his wife Flavia had written a cookbook, I figured I’d check it out, and it’s actually not your stereotypical cut-the-calories, fat-phobic, mumbo-jumbo. Instead, it’s actually jam-packed with some really delicious recipes and outside-the-box thinking. So in this episode, I interview Flavia about her book – which is entitled Flavalicious Cooking – and you’ll discover…

-How Flavia broke out of the stereotypical fitness model diet of salt and peppered tilapia, steamed broccoli and raw nuts…

-The versatility and benefits of coconut sugar as an alternative to regular sugar and artificial sweeteners…

-The difference between coconut butter and coconut oil

-How you can use coconut aminos as an alternative to soy sauce…

-How you can make sauces and soups thicker without using corn starch…

-How to use a microplane and why you should use one…

-How you can use your freezer to preserve your herbs…

-Flavia’s 3-3-3-3 recipe to cook a perfect steak…
