Hang on to your pie plate—King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking will change the way every baker thinks about whole grains.

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! |

seriously! |
Wow! I have had this book in my hands for...well...since it came in the mail. I bake almost everyday, and I do love whole grains, in my bread that is. I have tried making cookies with whole wheat flour and hated the results. If I am going to have dessert I want it to be amazing! Well this book is full of amazing desserts and bread and everything you can think of to bake! SERIOUSLY, these people tested some recipes because every recipe I have tried is the best ever (and it's whole grain!) I have always wanted to be able to bake and feed my three kids my creations on a daily basis without ruining their health in the process. Now I can. This book is a dream come true! Even my husband, who is the pickiest eater on earth, by the way, scooped up a handfull of snickerdoodles and came back for more. I love the chewy oatmeal cookies, easiest 100%wholewheat bread, zuchini bread, dark and dangerous cinnamon rolls, and the snickerdoodles. The only recipe I had a little trouble with so far were the chewy chocolate chip cookies. I had to add a few more tablespoons of flour (I am high altitude) but even the flat ones got eaten up with no complaints!
One thing I would highly recommend for this book is a scale! All the recipies will turn out perfect everytime if you get a scale. It was well worth the $50! Anyway, if you are trying to get your family to eat more whole grains without compromising taste, BUY THIS BOOK!! |

Great flavor, texture, and nutritional value! |
I agree whole-heartedly with many other reviewers. This book is outstanding, in design and in content. As a vegetarian, it is important to me to know the protein content of my meals to make sure my family is eating a well-balanced diet. The nutritional value of whole grains for someone like me who LOVES to bake, is a dream come true.
I generally stick to easier items, and have had great success with the four quick breads I've tried (Blueberry Buckle Coffeecake, Pumpkin Bread, Banana Bread, and Peach Oatmeal Bread). I've also made the double chocolate cookies which turned out very well. I plan to try the overnight pizza crust this week. This book is a brilliant addition to my cookbook library, and well worth the shelf space. I keep my cookbooks to less than one dozen total, and this one has a guaranteed spot for life. |
