Editorial Review:
Product Description:
From whole wheat, oats, and rice to farro, barley, and quinoa, no grain is left unturned in this compendium of more than 75 healthful recipes. There's a tasty dish for every meal of the day: Quick Skillet Flatbreads made with millet or teff for breakfast, or a hearty dinner entr e of lamb and rye berries braised in red wine. Even desserts get the whole-grain touch with such sweets as Chocolate-Chunk Buckwheat Cookies. A source list helps find the more unusual grains and a glossary describes each one in detail. The New Whole Grains Cookbook makes it easy to eat your grains and love them, too.

Rating:  - Liked this, but...
I borrowed this cookbook from my local library to try it out before buying it. I was impressed by the layout, the history of the grains presented, and the variety of recipes. There are a couple of caveats:
1) Aside from the whole grains (which I expected to have to search for), some of the ingredients are a little hard to find in the small town where I live. Fresh ginger root? Check. Miso? Er, what's that???? And, of the ingredients that are more common, some are rather expensive. Maple ... Read More
Rating:  - Woo hoo! Finally I have something to do with my whole grains!
The reasons in a nutshell to love this book:
1. I can generally find the ingredients in small town Iowa.
2. The recipes taste good, are simply created, and are pretty darned healthy.
3. The pictures are great, and the text is easy to read and informative.
4. I am no chef. I cook for three little girls and a husband, and all recipes I've tried from Robin's cookbook have definite positive approval ratings. (It's hard to please all the kids all at the same time.)

Rating:  - Recipes good but overly complicated, layout of book poor
I got this book the day it came out and I've probably used it twice. I'm of the feeling that you can't have enough recipes which make use of whole grains, especially the less common ones like quinoa, amaranth and farro. Yet when I feel like cooking whole grains, I find myself reaching for Rebecca Wood's "The Splendid Grain," which has, to my taste, better info and recipes and a much better layout. Don't get me wrong, I've liked what I've cooked from this book, but don't find it all that inspiring. ... Read More
Rating: - Robin Asbell's passion for whole grains is contagious!
As I paged through this just-released soft-covered cookbook, I realized many of Asbell's recipes were just what I was looking for - flavorful and healthful with long-lasting stick-to-your ribs satisfaction.
Robin Asbell makes it so simple to start experimenting with whole grains as her ingredient lists include products that are easy to find and her directions are uncomplicated and clear enough for all cooks to enjoy success. The creative photography and pleasant colors used throughout the book make ... Read More
Rating: - A beautiful cookbook with fantastic recipes
Robin Asbell has put together an amazing cookbook. The recipes are creative, enticing, healthy, and delicious. I have alrady bought four copies to give as gifts and am buying more.
