Grains for Every Season: A New Way with Whole Grains and Grain Flours by Martha Holmberg, Joshua McFadden
5.0
Yet another cookbook that I have preorder after thumbing through the digital arc from NetGalley.
I was more than impressed with how well this book is laid out, the beautiful photography, the recipes and the fact that it is filled with plenty of gluten-free grains. Yes there is a section on wheat, but there is also millet, brown rice, wild rice, buckwheat, corn, oats.... They all get their own section. What I love most, besides the delicious looking recipes, is the fact that each section talks about the grain itself. What it tastes like, the weight per cup, the water ratio. All of these small details put this book ahead of all the others I've seen. As someone who mills their own grain, having those weights per cup is invaluable to me, it saves me time from looking them up.
There are both sweet and savory dishes in here. Full meals, to sides, to appetizers, to dessert. Simple and easy to follow without super weird or difficult to source ingredients. Oh and a picture for each recipe which I love. If you're looking for a good introduction to whole grains and how to use them, then this is the book for you.
