Summary

Grains have always played an important part in a healthy diet, but not everyone knows how to cook with them. Cookbook author Ghillie James not only discusses 21 different grains--heir provenance, nutritional benefit, and how best to cook them--but showcases 120 international recipes that celebrate them. Chapters include Breakfasts, Soups & Starters, Simple Sides & Salads, Substantial Salads, Main Courses, and Desserts & Drinks. Start the day with Breakfast Quinoa with Raisins and Honey, take Maki and California Rolls to work for lunch, bake some Lazy Zucchini & Sundried Tomato Cornbread over the weekend, create a feast of Fragrant Vegetable Biryani for friends, whip up a bulghur wheat Tabbouleh or Fennel Freekeh Pilav for a quick midweek dinner or indulge in a Polenta and Ricotta Berry Torte. Everyone should be eating more of these grains rather than relying on staples like pasta and this book is here to inspire and excite.
