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.

Have to say I have always loved Bob's Red Mill products (the ones that I have tried anyway) and the cookbook is even better then I had expected. I have tired more then a few of the recipes and they are outstanding. The only thing I would forewarn people about is that if they are needing a picture with the recipes you will not find them in this cookbook. But I have to say I love it!!

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!

I bought this cookbook to learn more about cooking with different grains. I'm happy to see that most of the recipes are "do-able," with common ingredients that I would normally have on hand (or could easily substitute). There's also "basic instructions" for many of the grains, which is helpful. I'm looking forward to trying out a recipe with my family this evening.

This is a very basic cookbook with no pictures. What the book does offer is recipes that incorporate Bob's Red Mill products and that is why I bought the book. Would I recommend the book? I would make the recommendation to go onto Bob's Red Mill web site and look up the desired recipe.

Discovered this cook book while I was on a book tour in Quincy, WA. Some of the women served a few of the recipes and I was hooked. So far, I've made the cranberry bean soup and the almond cake.........both were exceptional. I also like the fact that any of the ingredients I need can be ordered and shipped from Bob's Red Mill...........this cook book is a definite keeper and one that I'll be using often!

I have always been aware of my diet, try to eat healthy, and this cookbook has opened soooooo many new doors. Have tried just a few recipes - never thought to try barley for breakfast. OMG with some red raspberries & almond milk just yummy.

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