Hiya Stig,
Welcome to cr0.
I can totally identify with what your saying about colds fella. I went a good 2 years without so much as a sneeze but then a copped a dose of proper flu before Crimbo, and it knocked me sideways.
Not knowing what your background is Stig but this site in the main, is dedicated to BIR (British Indian Restaurant) style cooking, which usually involves copious amounts of oil but, I'm sure you can adapt it to suit your diet.
Good luck matey, and feel free to ask any questions.
Ray

P.S, I'm from Manchester, so a few hours south of ya.
