Greens + Grains: Recipes for Deliciously Healthful Meals

This is a wonderful cookbook. I was looking for a way to familiarize myself with all the grains available out there and incorporate them more into my diet. This had an excellent and unusual mix of recipes using various grains and greens together. The recipes were delicious and healthy. Some of my favorite: Chard, farro, fennel salad with lemon and feta; Corn, cilantro and farro salad with chili dressing and Wild rice salad with kale, pecans and blueberries. The berries really bring something special and refreshing to this salad. I loved the fact that she didn't drowned her salads in vinegar dressings.I also loved the cornmeal cakes stuffed with greens and served with fresh salsa. I recommend doubling the recipe as it only makes six or so small pancakes. You can have left-over corncakes for a savory breakfast. And the leek chicken soup with oats was fantastic. Who would have thought of adding steel-cut oats to soup would taste so good? It was a refreshing and hearty change from noodle soup. I added a little lemon juice to bring out the lemony favor of the sorrel. It was helpful as well that other greens with similar favor to sorrel are suggested by the author, as sorrel can be hard to come by.My only criticism, and it's a small one, is that I'd love to have had a photograph with each recipe. It's just helpful in allowing readers to envision what their finished dish should look like.I highly recommend this book for those looking to incorporate more grains and greens into your diet in healthy, delicious ways.

For an e-book, this isn't half bad. I'm always on the lookout for recipes to add to my collection and this definitely did the trick. It probably would have looked better on a color e-reader, but I read it on my Kindle Paperwhite, and it was just okay. Still, I suppose you could read it on a regular computer. I would have liked it if it included shopping lists for the meals, but I guess that's why they have services out there that can do that stuff for you. All in all, this was a good purchase.

I've enjoyed the recipes I've tried so far, but I can see that I won't fully utilize the whole cookbook. Some recipes try a little too hard to meet the theme of Greens + Grains. Overall though it'll be a nice resource for me as I try to increase my consumption of both greens and grains.

Although this book has lots of good recipes, it didn't fit in my cooking style. I did give it to a person I know eats like this. She loved it. So if you like lots of grains, try this one.

A great cookbook to kick off the new year! My family loves everything I've made from here, and the recipes are highly adaptable. The chicken with butternut squash, kale, and farro was a particular hit at our house. The recipes are healthy, but not oppressively so - you will not feel deprived!

The ultimate cookbook for those needing these indigents in their diet. As I am gluten/dairy free this cookbook has become a second Bible.
