Customer Reviews

The best bean & grain cookbook in existence.

I pulled this one out of the library and then spent the next year and a half looking for it in all the used bookstores around. It is a great cookbook in general, and full of great recipes. The tea-poached plums with vanilla barley pudding is one my favorites. Definitely one of my most used cookbooks.

Informative and Useful

I took this book out of the library on a whim, but what I saw of it in the 3 weeks of the loan period persuaded me to buy it. It is chock full of information, both historical and uses, on pretty much any grain or bean I've ever heard of - and many that I haven't. It has a very well set out table for every grain and bean giving basic cooking instructions that I found very helpful, and it also contains a number of interesting recipes. Unfortunately, it is out of print, so I'm now hoping someone can find a copy for me!
