Seaweed Books -The Seaweed Jelly-Diet Cookbook Guide

Filed under: Book — Tags: , , , — Clayten @ 4:31 pm

Canadian author Clayten Tylor has written his first book called ‘The Seaweed Jelly-Diet Cookbook Guide’ about his discoveries while experimenting with seaweed made into a jelly.

Utilizing his background in alchemy, with years of analyzing esoteric doctrine, Clayten deciphered the patent processing documents for seaweed extracts, (food additives for thickening and enhancing taste), and created unique new ways to make seaweed extracts – naturally. 

This book states that seaweed jelly could revolutionize the food industry because it improves the taste and texture of any recipe. Moreover, that it could help end world hunger because it is one of the most nutritious low-cost food sources on the planet. 

Combining his previous experience as a restauranteur, Clayten devoted several years in his search for the ‘perfect’ food. He prepared seaweed into a jelly and created over 80 recipes as examples of how to use seaweed as a delicious weight-loss and nutritional food additive. 

Clayten says, “At first, I hated the taste of seaweed. But when I prepared it to be almost tasteless and mixed it with other foods, it made every recipe more creamy and delicious – and all calorie-free. Seaweed jelly easily replaces butter, eggs, cream, or other high-fat ingredients, and alternatively, by freezing or blending the seaweed jelly with different bases, such as oil, milk, or sweetener, creates even yummier textures.” 

Although this book should be the fast-food industry ‘bible’, it also would appeal to the ‘gourmet’ in all of us. Moreover, for someone who just likes to cook, concerned about nutrition, or wants to lose weight, this book can change the way you eat, and turn you into an accomplished gourmet cook – and all that is required is an open mind…

Potato Salad with Seaweed Mayonnaise

Filed under: Recipes — Tags: , — Clayten @ 4:19 pm

Since the writing of the book, ‘The Seaweed Jelly-Diet Cookbook Guide”, I have been doing some additional experimenting using pureed kelp paste (see page #42) mixed with pre-made condiments, such as store bought mayonnaise and ketchup.

I started simply with just a seaweed mayonnaise spread – equal parts mayonnaise mixed with equal parts pureed seaweed paste. However, with the heat wave, in Vancouver this summer I have been making mostly cold dishes, such as potato salad.

Although up until now, I have never used the seaweed mayonnaise in anything but sandwiches, this potato salad recipe is incredible – you cannot even see or taste the seaweed – except that, it is the tastiest potato salad I have ever made.

4 boiled, chopped and cooled bakers potatoes
3-4 chopped and cooled hard-boiled eggs
¼ cup chopped raw red onion
¼ cup chopped raw celery
4 tablespoons mayonnaise (or more to taste)
4 tablespoons pureed kelp paste (See: Brown Seaweed Paste Recipe – Page #42)
Pinch dry mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Sprig of parsley
Pinch of paprika

Stir together the mayonnaise, seaweed paste, mustard, salt, and pepper. Add to the remaining ingredients. Press into a mold, turn out, garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of paprika. Enjoy!
