I know what you are thinking. It's easy for someone who has been cooking for a number of years and not only loves cooking but does it to earn a living. Well, relax. This book is designed to help ease the burden of making the transition to a healthier, whole foods and grain foods - based diet, from introduction to grains to healthy grain recipes. What does whole grain mean anyway? This name refers to a seed's anatomical structure- the pericarp, endosperm and germ. So, any reference to whole grains means that the entire grain structure is being used; there has been no polishing, rolling, purling or stripping of seed. All the nutritive parts of the grain are intact for consumption. I hope these recipes will aid you on your journey towards a healthier way of eating.
