Book: “Whole Grains Every day, Every Way”
Author: Lorna Sass
Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way is an informative “how to” for the purchasing, storing, and cooking of over 14 different grains. This book isn’t for the hoity-toity food connoisseur, neither is it exclusively for those who wish to become one. Instead this book was written for the everyday Cook who realizes the importance of whole grains and has the urge for fresh idea and recipes! It is written simply and logically, beginning with a “profile” for each grain that notes it’s origin, method of processing, availability, and nutritional benefits.
The “At A Glance” charts are perhaps the most useful to the Cooker-Reader intending to apply the information. This easy- use format enables the reader to distinguish the particular form of grain they wish to cook (flour, kernel, red, black, hulled etc) and its accompanying traits: description and processing, availability and additional comments. Following this are more than 150 recipes ranging from salads and casseroles, to breakfasts and desserts. (Look out for future posts featuring some!)
The important and tip-bits that Ms. Sass provides are not overwhelming to the reader who is a serious cook or simply curious. She provides her audience with the basics while offering additional resources for more information. I highly suggest seeing if your library has it—that is what I did!
