Discover the delights of cooking with whole grains.
U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend that adults consume at least three servings of whole grains every day. Fortunately, whole grains are delicious -- as enjoyed in the outstanding and healthy recipes found in Judith Finlayson's The Complete Whole Grains Cookbook.
The flavors of whole grains vary from earthy to nutty and sweet. All can be appetizing on their own, marry well with a wide variety of seasonings, and add taste and texture to any dish. They also provide a variety of benefits such as reduced risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity.
In this new book, Judith Finlayson includes whole grains from amaranth and buckwheat to Job's tears, quinoa and wild rice. There is information on each grain's origins along with its culinary and nutritional profile, buying and storage guidelines, and cooking methods.
Among the delicious and wholesome recipes:
Each recipe includes a complete nutritional analysis. With tips for preparation and extensive sidebars, The Complete Whole Grains Cookbook guarantees a delicious and nutritious meal.

This review is from: The Complete Whole Grains Cookbook: 150 Recipes for Healthy Living (Paperback)
Many times I've bought cookbooks thinking that I would make a lot of dishes out of it, but have actually used only one or two recipes before donating the book to charity. The Complete Whole Grains Cookbook is not like that.In fact, since purchasing my own copy I have bought three more to give to family and friends for their cookbook collections. At the beginning of the book the author gives a very detailed overview of all the grains she uses, as well as how to cook and store them, and their nutritional values. Each recipe has nutritional values listed as well, and in some cases, instructions on how to cook the dish using a slow cooker. There are recipes for all meals (not just breakfast)and the collection include delicious ways to cook, chicken, beef, pork, and vegetarian dishes. Although some of the ingredients may be unusual according to North American tastes, they are not obscure or difficult to find - and she does suggest viable substitutions in some cases. All in all, I highly recommend it.

This review is from: The Complete Whole Grains Cookbook: 150 Recipes for Healthy Living (Paperback)
I always looked at those "different" grains at the health/organic store, but never bought them because I wouldn't know how to prepare a good and delicious meal with them. Since I found this book, I'm no longer afraid of being adventurous because the recipes are amazing -- especially the barley salad!. What's better, they are extremely nutritious. I've been telling all my friends about it.
