This review is from: How to Live on Wheat (Paperback)

This is probably the definitive work on how to start with whole grains and
make bread and other grain based foods. The author includes essential
details about how to store grains, how to care for cast iron utensils, how
to make sourdough and sprouts, etc. that you don't see in a lot of other
books. The writing style is concise and very clear. The recipes are
flexible allowing you to adjust and substitute ingredients. It is amazing
how quickly pan bread can be made from scratch. And now I can make a $5
loaf of artisan bread with less than $1 of ingredients, and if I were
grinding my own wheat, I could do it for less than fifty cents worth of
ingredients!

This book has 105 organized and informative pages. It didn't take long to read it cover to cover. Some topics are: Different types of grains, selecting and storing wheat, protecting wheat, how much wheat to store, enhancing wheat based nutrition, sprouts, wheat grass, essene bread, sourdough, lots of recipes, pasta, dumplings, gluten, frybread, cast iron, and some really good resources. This book is a great value. I have not tried the recipes! Based on some of the reviews, I almost didn't buy it, but am glad I did.

The recipes are interesting and I look forward to trying them. The author completely overlooks wheat storage methods that have been used for 20 years such as mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. Aside from that point, it is a good book and worth the price. Not eating pricey, store bought, "sawdust tasting" bread is a real luxury :-)
