Product Description:
Thanks to the low-carb movement and the updated USDA food pyramid, we all know we should be eating more whole grains (the “good carbs”). But what exactly are whole grains? And how can we make them not only what we should eat, but what we really want to eat? In Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way, bestselling cookbook author Lorna Sass demystifies whole grains with a thorough grain-by-grain primer followed by more than 150 irresistible recipes.

In this extensive guide to the wide range of fantastic whole grains available–many of which are gluten-free–Sass introduces home cooks to dozens of grains, including amaranth, barley, buckwheat, hominy, popcorn, polenta, Job’s tears, millet, oats, quinoa, brown rice, red rice, black rice, rye, triticale, sorghum, teff, farro, grano, green wheat, kamut, spelt, wheat berries, and wild rice. She shares tips for buying and storing these grains as well as the best and simplest way to cook them.

And then there are the boldly flavored, contemporary recipes that will truly change the way you cook, covering soups, salads, main courses, and side dishes all the way to quick breads, cookies, and desserts, with a groundbreaking section on whole-grain baking outlining tempting, healthy options. Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way will delight carnivores and vegetarians alike with recipes such as Farro Salad with Prosciutto and Asparagus, Masa Harina–Beef Casserole, Posole with Pork and Chipotle, Millet with Gingered Beets and Orange, and Coconut–Black Rice Pudding.
This is the book America has been asking for: the definitive guide that will make it easy and delicious for us to incorporate healthful whole grains into our diets with innovative recipes for every meal of the day.

Life style change by Paulina Johnson
It is the best cook book about grains I have found! Fantastic ideas and great variety of recipes. My cooking has changed for better and my family diet as well. The best of all, is the idea of a grain bank in your freezer. It saves my time and helps me to vary the combinations.

Fantastic book.

Delicious recipes! by tanaleefive
This book contains many delicious recipes using a variety of grains. I especially like the quinoa and barley recipes; however, every recipe I have tried has been delicious. Also provides tips on the best way to cook the grains for the best results. This book contains recipes you wouldn’t necessarily find in a “Betty Crocker” type of cookbook (not that there is anything wrong with Betty Crocker), so if you are looking for a cookbook with a lot of delicious and different recipes…………this book is for you!

The reviews are spot-on! by Sairis M. Nunez
Lorna Sass manages to make whole grains as appealing as they are healthy.

I think this has a lot to do with the idea that she doesn’t just see them as a way to eat better, but truly enjoys them as sees them as an opportunity simply make delicious food. It’s refreshing to have a book about grains that doesn’t go out of its way to be healthy, sacrificing flavor along the way.

She provides tons of information on pretty much every grain you’ve heard of, and those you haven’t.

To top it off, she provides amazing recipes that are delicious, easy, and very adaptable. The polenta pancakes, and the roast chicken with prunes and bulgur pilaf are wonderful.

After looking at all the savory recipes, you would think that it couldn’t get any better, until you get to the breakfast/brunch recipes and the sweets. Pancakes that are by no means heavy, and Sass does not compromise by having white flour. They are 100% whole grain. Her oat scones are delicious, just packed with flavor. The cornmeal biscuits are one of my favorite recipes. They are not your typical biscuits, but they are amazing. Anise pignoli cookies, great. Oh, and do try the very healthful, but oh-so-delicious fruit and oar bars.

If you are at all interested in whole grains, don’t miss this book. And even if you are not, give this book a look simply because the recipes are just plain good.

A recovering sugar addict seeks delicious, healthy recipes by navyblue
Nearly two years ago, I decided to stop mixing up entire bowls of sugar cookie dough and calling that breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With the support of my husband and the apprehension of my three children, I stood in the pantry and threw out all of the processed junk we owned.

When I was finished, we had a few cans of tomatoes and that was it. I then purchased huge bags of all kinds of grains. Different kinds of wheat, spelt, Kamut, amaranth, buckwheat, and more. But I didn’t know what on earth to do with them.

For about a year, we ate a lot of brown rice, and I learned how to make bread from my freshly ground flours, but what to do with pounds upon pounds of all of those other types of grain?

I stumbled upon Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way while browsing for healthful cookbooks at a book store. I flipped through eagerly, would this help me use all of those grains and cook good-for-us, yet delicious foods for my family?

I didn’t buy it immediately, but went home to read reviews on Amazon. Encouraged, I purchased it and waited for it to arrive.

This book is fast becoming my go-to Food Bible. Every recipe I’ve tried, my family has adored. The directions are easy to understand, the suggested substitutions allow me to get more comfortable with the many different kinds of grains, and the results have all (so far) been wonderful.

My only complaint? I wish every recipe had a full color photograph. But other than that, this book is an absolute must for anyone desiring to eat more healthfully, or use up the fabulous grains pining away in their basement food storages.
