Rating: Summary: great cookbook Review: I have been trying to cook using more whole foods and this cookbook is one of the best. It has great recipes and is a good read too. I bought another for my mother and she enjoys it as well. The oat flour pancakes and whole wheat soft pretzels are ones I make all the time. The whole wheat bagels were great. I have tried 2-3 dozen recipes so far and they are all great. I would also recommend "366 delicious ways to cook rice, beans and grains" by Andrea Chesman. I give it 5 stars as well.
Rating: Summary: GREAT grain book! Review: I have used this book over and over again.It has wonderful bread recipes,such as a malt one with raisins.The side dishes and salads are VERY easy to prepare,and none of the recipes require an umpteen number of ingredients!!Most of them take very little time to prepare,also.If you are into adding mroe grains to your diet,or expanding your repetoire of recipes,this is a great book.
Rating: Summary: Great, but something's missing... Review: I just got this book, looked it over and am really excited about it. Very unique recipes that I haven't seen anywhere. However, I was discouraged in one recipe, "Brown Rice Risotto," because it tells you to "dissolve yeast," but there's no yeast listed in the list of ingredients. I'm assuming I found the only recipe with a problem. All in all, I can't wait to make the recipes!

Rating: Summary: Not a Vegetarian Cookbook Review: I just got this cookbook. I am a vegetarian and thought that this would be a good book to use. I haven't tried any of the recipes, but in purusing it , it is very evident that it is not a book writen for vegetarians.
Rating: Summary: Easy to follow instructions Review: I tried a few recipes on Whole Wheat Breads and the dough comes out too wet to knead. Entree recipes are delicious and the variety is great. Maybe M.Anne Bumgarner needs to be more specific on how much time is required to mix flour with liquids to bring out the gluten in whole wheat flour. Thank you.
Rating: Summary: A good case for living in better health Review: This book has an expansive overview of different grains, their history, some familiar and some less known. Many may not be part of some peoples regular diet, yet this book inspires one to try them and provides good recipes in which to experiment and have fun. Bumgarner makes a great case to expand a readers menus in order to live a more healthy life with natural foods. She shows that solid research and lots of love went into the production of this book. Baking recipes may be difficult for wheat sensitive people.
