Customer Reviews

great grains!

love the format/design of the book. and the recipes that i've tried so far have worked out great. the masa biscuits have already assumed a regular spot in my repetoire. the barley blueberry muffins are great too. can't wait to try more of them.

Beautiful book with great recipes

This is a great book with really interesting recipes. The photographs are beautiful and make you want to try the recipes. There's a good introduction to each grain and enough variety of recipes that there's a bread for just about everyone. My only disappointment is that almost all the recipes require at least some white flour.

The Pleasure of Whole Grain Breads

This books has excellent recipes in it and is a must for anybody with a bread machine. This is an excellent introduction to a new baker looking to work with whole grains. I am sending it as a gift to others. It's beautiful as well as fun to use.
