Hello Zoe I hope things are well with you.No I wasnt thinking you was cooking with the concentrate just wanted to mention my experiance with the concentrate.I suppose use could use it for a substitute for coconut meat in baked goods.I must admit I dont cook much but love how coconut oil and concentrate enhance smoothies.I have yet to try anything besides the oil and concentrate.Im considering joining the discount club but will need to try some more of there products first.Jeff.
