Delicious recipes, mouth-watering photos, and fresh, creative tips on cooking with amaranth, quinoa, and more.
 
With more than 150 ideas for breakfast and brunch, appetizers and small bites, salads, main dishes and side dishes, sweets, snacks, sundry baked goods, and more, this refreshingly modern cookbook features recipes that include whole grains like barley, buckwheat, corn, oats, quinoa, and wheat. While some of these recipes happen to be vegetarian, some vegan, and some gluten free, all of them have one common characteristic: great flavor.
 
Featuring ingredients that are readily available at your grocery store, Whole Grains for a New Generation shows how easy, delicious, and exciting whole grain cooking can be.
 
Says author Liana Krissoff in the Introduction, “My cooking is inspired by all that’s flavorful, and I hope it serves as inspiration to you in turn.”

I'm the author of the IACP-award-nominated WHOLE GRAINS for a New Generation, and two other books in the series: CANNING for a New Generation and the new VEGETARIAN for a New Generation (which Amazon for some reason won't let me list a link to on my bibliography page.

For more about who I am, what I like to cook and eat and do, see my (extremely informal) little blog, Pie and Beer: pieandbeer.wordpress.com. And no, I have no idea why I named it Pie and Beer all those years ago, except for the fact that I love those two things, especially together.

    I've discovered cooking with grains only recently - and off I went buying quite a few books on the subject to get started. This one, so far, is the best I've seen. Ms. Krissoff gives a comprehensive overview, explores the subject vividly and, as a skilled writer, she also adds to your amusement. The recipe section is beautifully photographed, rich in variety and all instructions seem to be perfectly accurate: I've tried five or six preparations so far and always ended up with tasteful, satisfying meals.

    This is a wonderful book, with a great combination of recipes and reference. It's helped us explore a lot of new whole grains -- millet is delicious, who knew -- and eat more vegetarian. (Many, but not all, of the recipes in this book are vegetarian.) Particular highlights are the bulghur-black bean burgers, the kasha fish cakes, and the steak-and-farro salad. Even when I'm not cooking a recipe from this book, I use the whole grain overview in the beginning to select and cook grains for use in other recipes.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to New Grains and Recipes
    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I've used many but certainly enjoy seeing grains new to me, and new ways to fix all of them. Good recipes pair grains interestingly with other foods and new seasonings (new to me.) One star off which others may not agree with but for me the author's organization of what to do when wasn't quite the best fit for my thought processes. I am an old dog trying to teach myself new tricks though, so maybe this is my own perception. It's a great book and I'm very glad I got it, especially in partnership with a wonderful book on greens and a third book on beans that I bought all at the same time. I'm having a great time exploring them together.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great recipes & resources for the gluten-free cook
    Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This book is more than a recipe book, it's a whole grain primer that includes a roster of gluten-free grains (and how to substitute "regular" grains for similarly shaped gluten-free grains). My favorite recipe is the oat-crusted fish; the salads are refreshing, too. Liana includes Indian, Middle Eastern and other international cuisines, not to mention some of her family's recipes, which introduced me to new flavor palettes. I'd give this as a gift to anyone, but especially to my gluten-free friends.

    I have hundreds of cookbooks but this one of a handful that I turn to regularly. Not only are the recipes healthy, quick and easy to put together, they aren't all the same trendy ones you see in every cookbook. There is actually some thought and work put into them. Currently, I've been making the been the curried cauliflower and barely sweet granola on a weekly basis.

    Both Liana's books are tattered, dogeared and stained favorites on my shelf...

    I bought this book after several months experimenting with Canning for a New Generation. The recipes are fantastic, the pictures a pleasure to look at, and there are many ideas that will make eating a grain-rich diet easier. A warning: the recipes are at times complex and the grains not always easy to find at your local grocery store.

    Overall, I've really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to take their cooking experience a bit further.
