Wow! What a book!

This book has everything you need to convert from plain white flour to luscious whole grains with lots of flavor, vitamins and fiber. Unless you tell your family that you've changed to something healthier, they'll never know. I love it because this book covers breads, desserts, main dishes and everything in between. Well worth the money.

Try the Brownies

There's still a lot of recipes that use regular flour, but there are some gems that are completely whole grain! This book is a good intro to whole grain cooking and the art of soaking grains (some recipes are started the day before). I love it and have made the whole grain cookies and brownies and will be trying several more recipes shortly.

A baker's trusty sidekick!

It's not only an education - it's a sidekick that helps you into new and great baking adventures: whole wheat and yeast breads - the best.

Love this book

Excellent cook book. Very informative and instructional. Great illustrations and tips. I have tried several of the recipes with great results. The chewy chocolate chip cookies are delicious! I wish the table of contents listed the names of the recipes in addition to the categories, but that would be my only criticism of the book. Recommended for those who love to bake.

Essential for the corn allergic

Not only are the descriptions of flour types and baking methods well worthwhile for anyone, but for those of you who are corn allergic, you may already know that King Arthur flours are the only corn-free flours that are not exorbitantly expensive.

Since those of us with corn allergy wouldn't dare to consume any baked good we didn't make ourselves, this book is on the level of Baking Bible for us!

Just substitute baking powder with part cream of tartar and baking soda, or use Featherweight brand baking powder, and you're all set!
