Product Description
Bring whole grains to the table in a flash.
We all know that we should be eating more whole grains, an essential foundation of any healthy diet. Making this goal a reality can be a challenge, though, especially on a weeknight. In Whole Grains for Busy People, Lorna Sass, author of the James Beard Award–winning book Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way, shows us how to do it—deliciously.
Lorna shares 125 tempting recipes that focus exclusively on quick-cooking whole grains—those that take 30 minutes or less to cook—and on the array of whole-grain products that are now easily found in grocery stores, from tortillas to pastas. Boost the nutrition of any meal with tasty, flavor-packed dishes such as Oat-Crusted Turkey Cutlets with Gingered Cranberry Relish; Barley with Mushrooms, Beef, and Dill Sour Cream; and Bulgur Salad with Tuna, Olives, and Feta. Even sweets get a healthy makeover with whole-grain ingredients so that anyone can feel good about indulging in treats such as Orange-Scented Chocolate Chip Cookies, Peach Blueberry Crumble, or Chocolate Pudding Pie.
Lorna guides readers through every step of cooking with whole grains, from reading the labels and selecting the best whole-grain products to using techniques that bring out the maximum flavors in the recipes. Rounded out with whole-grain quick-reference charts, advice on building a well-stocked pantry, suggestions for recipe variations, and a full-color photo insert, Whole Grains for Busy People is the only book home cooks need to make over their family’s diet—without spending their entire lives in the kitchen.

Flavor-packed, quick, and (by the way) very healthy!, Jan 23 2009
By Ravenous Fellow - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Whole Grains for Busy People: Fast, Flavor-Packed Meals and More for Everyone (Paperback)
Lorna Sass has a great track record as a writer of user-friendly, clear cookbooks full of tasty recipes. (Her WHOLE GRAINS EVERY DAY, EVERY WAY won a James Beard Award in 2007).
But most people think you have to slave over the proverbial hot stove to have whole grains in your diet. This book proves on every page that it just ain't so. Quick-cooking whole grains mean that dinner (or breakfast or lunch) can be on the table in a half hour or less. The titles of the dishes are enticing: Quinoa Paella With Chicken and Chorizo, Buckwheat With Cheddar and Pickled Jalapenos, Barley Cioppino, Lemon Poppy Seed Scones.
And if the idea of "healthy eating" strikes you as self-denying, turn to Lorna's recipe for Banana Coconut Pie. Her presentation is crystal-clear; the recipe directions are easy to follow and helpful; the book's layout makes the cooking easier.
If you've only just escaped from the world of white bread and processed foods, a wide-eyed wanderer in the world of whole grains, this cookbook makes it simple to get the best, freshest, and most nourishing products.
Even if you're not a busy person, this book will get satisfying and delicious food on the table in a flash. Now I'm going to stare happily at the photograph of Squash Bisque with Curried Popcorn -- had it for dinner last night!

Simple, straightforward and DELICIOUS recipes!, Feb 8 2009
By E. Baron - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Whole Grains for Busy People: Fast, Flavor-Packed Meals and More for Everyone (Paperback)
Lorna Sass's 'Whole Grains for Busy People' is quickly becoming one of my favorite cookbooks! I'm a big foodie and collector of cookbooks, however, many of them end up gathering dust on my bookshelf because I get frustrated with the mile-long ingredient list or the complicated directions. This is not the case with Ms. Sass's recipes. In the month or so since I've owned her new cookbook, I've used it every week. Not only are the recipes simple and healthful, but they're without a doubt delicious (which is, of course, the most important factor)! I recently made the chicken soft tacos with smoked paprika sourcream for a friend (a friend who usually cringes at anything healthful) and she LOVED them...so much so that she wanted the leftovers! Truly, this is a great and versatile cookbook.

Whole Grains for Busy People, Jan 5 2009
By Hinda Crewell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Whole Grains for Busy People: Fast, Flavor-Packed Meals and More for Everyone (Paperback)
I just finished reading Ms. Sass' new cookbook and know I will be enjoying it even more than her previous cookbooks. Although I'm presently retired, I'm still always looking for quick, easy and healthful recipes. My family loves whole grains and this book is the first I've seen that makes use of things I already have in my cupboard and allows for quick preparation. The book is informative and interesting and I look forward to trying more of these delicious sounding recipes.
