Mother Grains: Recipes for the Grain Revolution

"Flour-dusted hands down, Mother Grains is my favorite cookbook of the year. Many of its recipes are favorites from Roxana Jullapat’s Friends & Family bakery in Los Angeles. All incorporate local and heirloom grains to maximize texture, nutrition and deliciousness – plus a bonus sense of virtue. Her Oatmeal Date Cookies, Baked Buckwheat Pancake, and Freekeh with Shiitake Mushrooms, Leeks, and Sugar Snap Peas have become staples in my home. But whether you opt for the barley, buckwheat, oat, sonora, sorghum, spelt, rice, or rye version of her chocolate chip cookies – all helpfully pictured – you’ll never want to revert to the standard all-purpose flour Toll House recipe again."
