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.

Summary: I love this book
Comment: I love this book, it gives simple and wonderful ways to make your diet healthier by adding grains. It tells you about each type of grain, how to cook it, and then how to make it part of your regular fare. I love the new (to me) recipes for pancakes with whole grains.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in a healthier diet.

Summary: Wide-ranging, useful, and a pleasure to read.
Comment: A great guide for anyone who's ever stared longingly at all the gorgeous grains in the Whole Foods bulk section, and wondered what the heck to do with them. I wanted to incorporate more whole grains into my diet, but had no idea where to start. The discussions of each grain, recipe sections, and beautiful color photos here made it easy. Now I am buying amaranth, quinoa, and hulled barley and I know how to cook them!

Summary: Good stuff.
Comment: Lorna Sass, Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way (Clarkson Potter, 2006)

Interesting combination of cookbook and whole-foods guide, this opens with a lengthy section describing an imposing number of whole grains and what one can do with them, then gets to the recipes. You've seen most fo the recipes before in other configurations, but unless you're a hardcore foodie, you've probably never thought of making some of the substitutions here. I mean, who even knew a grain called Job's Tears existed? And that's one of the less obscure things you'll find here. Of course, there are also the basics, and there are plenty of recipes to cover those as well, but if you've ever wondered about the right way to incorporate, say, amaranth into a muffin recipe, this is the book for you. *** ½

Summary: Whole Grains for everyone...
Comment: Excellent book providing easy to understand information on a wide variety of grains in addition to delicious recipes. Lorna's method for cooking quinoa described in this book resulted in the best tasting & easiest quinoa I've ever made. I have most of her other books and use them constantly. "Cooking Under Pressure" is one of my favorites.
