Great Cookbook

I like that this cookbook explains and gives you tips on cooking with different grains. Like, I never knew that you weren't suppose to add salt to amaranth until it was done cooking. No wonder mine always took so long to cook! We have loved every recipe we've tried so much that I bought a cookbook for my mom, who liked it and bought one for my brother. I highly recommend this book!

Great source for excellen recipes

This book is full of great tasting recipes designed to keep you well-fed, nourished and healthy!

Tasty whole grains

I'm really liking this book. I always start my "whole grain cookbooks reviews" with a statement that I live about 5 minutes from the Bob's Red Mill headquarters and their amazing bulk section, so it doesn't come as a surprise that this book is on my bookshelf. I bought it alongside Bob's Red Mill Baking Book but this definitely gets more use. It has a good combination of vegetarian/vegan and meat recipes. I recently decided to become "at-home" vegetarian (I know it's sort of tongue-in-a-cheek kind of deal but... I'm not buying and cooking with meat at home, but I still eat meat outside the house) and this book has been an awesome help with its inventive recipes. Lately, I've been focusing on the whole grain salads (Basmati Vegetable Salad with Fragrant Vinaigrette is spectacular) and soups (Kasha Purifying Soup is my favorite so far). I've tried multiple other recipes, and each turned out tasty. I wasn't very succesful with the recipes from the "Sweets" section, though, but I've only tried 2 so far, so I'm not giving up on it just yet.
