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.

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.

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.

I bought this cookbook a few years ago, read through it, fixed a couple of cookie and muffin recipes, then put it away. Recently I got it out again and cooked some entrees and they were incredible! I am stuffed at the moment from Eggplant Cassarole. It was so good I nearly couldn't stop eating. Last week we had red beans and rice, the week before Black-eyed Chicken. The recipes take a little more time because of the ingredients (dried beans, rice, etc.) but not a lot of work. But oh the taste -- it's totally worth it! My husband has raved about his leftovers lately. Highly recommended.

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.

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!

Just an OK book for the price. A good first book if you knew nothing about grains but not enough information for someone with a little more knowledge.

very good, lots of recipes for different types of grain and different preperations for them.great descriptions for what the grain is and how it's grown and why it is the way it is. recommended reading.

What a great book. Lots of useful information on being more self-sufficient, even stuff on harvesting your own wild rice!
Really liked the layout as well.

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.
