Baking with Whole Grains: Recipes, Tips, and Tricks for Baking Cookies, Cakes, Scones, Pies, Pizza, Breads, and More! Hardcover – October 6, 2015

I will be honest and say that I didn't buy this book for myself - I bought it for my wife. That said, she expressed absolute elation when I gave it to her. As she perused the recipes, she earmarked several that she wanted to try right away... and she did! And, as a consumer of these baked goods, I can vouch for their deliciousness. I have since taken time to flip through the pages, and feel that this book is put together very well, with excellent photography; and although I do not bake, the recipes appear to be quite descriptive and seemingly easy to follow. Who knows, maybe I'll give one a try in the future, and will update my review with the results!

I use her whole wheat recipe and I add quinoa, blackstrap molasses, Bragg brewer yeast, flax seed, dried cranberries and sunflower seeds. Her recipe for coco cookies that I make sugar free are deadly. Her potato whole wheat dough she uses for Hamburger and hot dog buns and yeast coffee cakes.

I like baking, and I like knowing I’m using the best techniques and the most nutritious flours for the different products I bake. This book has it all! Besides an impressive variety of delicious recipes, there are invaluable tips before each section that are written in a very practical and understandable manner that are worthwhile for both the experienced and inexperienced baker. This is more than a cookbook. It is filled with inspiring wisdom. I will be giving this book to a number of friends and family as gifts this holiday season.

A great book if you want to use some whole grains in your baking. Most of the recipes also call for all purpose white flour as well. I prefer all whole grains but can't fault the recipes if you want to start whole grain baking slowly. They are easily put together and taste great.

Buyer beware. The title should be: Baking with Whole Wheat. I just cracked open this book. It is written by a woman who grows and grinds her own wheat. The vast majority of recipes call for a combination of whole wheat bread flour, whole wheat pastry flour and all purpose (white wheat) flour. One for buckwheat. A few call for spelt. Beyond that, there is little here for anyone looking for alternatives to all wheat. Further, all ingredients are listed by volume v. weight. I wasn't interested in expanding my pantry to include an array of wheat products so this book is of no use to me. If you are, the recipes sound promising (I haven't tested any of them).

I love the concept of this book. I've actually read a bit of history about this author through her daughters blog and through another money saving blog I read. This book is well thought out and easy to understand. I love the hominess of it. It inspires me to keep trying on my baking!!!!

If you want to better understand the intricacies of whole wheat and how to incorporate it into your baking, this book is for you! Make sure to try the waffles---they're fabulous!

at first glance thru it was disappointed but then spent some time in it and tried a couple of recipes and love it.

I really like this cookbook. I've tried 3 or 4 of the recipes and there are many more that are earmarked for future baking projects. Everything turned out well although the end product sometimes looks different from the photos. Everything was appreciated by a health conscious husband and my two cookie monsters. Happy to add a bit of nutritional value to my baking obsession. The Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies were maybe some of the most tasty cookies I've ever made. The treats have a "healthier" taste than ones made with just white flour but they are still delicious.

Its an interesting book of American recipes with no glossary explaining the difference between American baking terms and those used in the UK. several of the ingredients are not readily available in the UK so have to ordered online which makes baking expensive. However, there are a lot of interestting recipes and other info so well worth the purchase.
