A Whole Grain Baking Bible August 8, 2010 Tessa Arias (Arizona) I was given this book for my birthday in March after adding it to my Amazon wishlist. I've been slowly and steadily eliminating refined flour from my usual diet but had been having a difficult time with desserts and homemade breads. So when I saw this book at Barnes & Noble and after flipping through just a few pages and seeing a recipe I would want to make on each and every page, I knew I had to have it. $35 is a steep price for a whim purchase so I decided to go home and check here at Amazon. Not surprisingly, its about $10 less here AND with super saver shipping.
First impressions: When I first flipped through this book at the store I was amazed by how many delicious sounding treats were on each page. Whole Wheat Chocolate Croissants? Is that possible?! The geniuses at the King Arthur Flour Test Kitchens have developed a massive 544-page whole-grain baking bible. Cookbook perfection here.
Pros: There are SO many recipes I look forward to making from this book. The book is well-organized and each recipe is detailed and easy to follow. Useful tips and facts of techniques, cuisines, and ingredients are provided as well as nutritional information and multiple variations for many recipes. So far I've made the whole-grain Double Chocolate Brownies and they were amazing.
Cons: Tucked away in the middle of the book there are only about 15 pages of photos. I love food photography and think that it is a definite inspiration when looking through a cookbook. Luckily, the sheer volume of amazing recipes and useful information makes up for the lack of photos.
Cookbook, where have you been all my life?? July 30, 2010 mustang (CT) Just received this book and immediately tried the Blueberry Buckle recipe. Oh my goodness, it's even better than the ol' tried-and-true recipe I've been using for years. Simply delicious. I even substituted Splenda for most of the white sugar. I've tried replacing white flour with whole wheat in my baking recipes and could never get good end results. Now, with this cookbook I won't have to struggle anymore. All the recipes look yummy. I can't wait for the cool weather so I can start baking up a storm! Thank you King Arthur.
I'll never go back to all white flour baking again! July 22, 2010 Tes (Philadelphia) I've been baking whole grain yeast bread for years but this book led me to explore whole grain cakes, cookies and pastries. It's been both a revelation and a marvelous resource. Some of the recipes I follow faithfully ( pie crusts, sponge cakes, and brownies MMMMMMMMarvelous) others I use as a point of departure (quick breads.)
Ridiculously good! July 2, 2010 M. Ford I just delivered a plate of blueberry buckle to a professional kitchen full of chefs, and they devoured it in minutes. I got hugs and kisses and thanks. The recipes in this book are just wonderful!!
Excellent recipes - could be more helpful June 21, 2010 K. M. Smi (PHILADELPHIA, PA, US) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Let me start with the positives - every recipe I've tried (about a dozen so far) has worked well and the baked goods from raisin bars to waffles and muffins have been delicious. My problems with the books are not huge but I do find a couple of aspects annoying. As with many King Arthur recipes, I frequently feel like I'm reading a sales pitch for an ingredient that only King Arthur sells. I'd like to see more substitutes. I'd also like to see more complete information. For example - I just made the peanut butter chocolate chip spelt waffles which were yummy. The recipes says to let the batter stand for ten minutes. I want to know is - ten minutes a minimum? Can I make the batter the night before? Make it and go for a walk? Or is ten minutes it? I've baked a long time but I'm new to whole grain baking and don't know spelt flour well yet - that kind of info would be really helpful. I'd also like to know more about substitutions. In the Q&A, the authors basically tell you not to make substitutions - just bake ten or so recipes from every section, but if I buy 3 pounds of spelt or dark rye flour for a recipe and end up using only a half cup, I'd really appreciate knowing where I can use up the rest of the flour.
As I said the recipes are great, so far, but I'd like for the authors to be a little more considerate of the new whole grain baker who doesn't want to end up with 20 different kinds of flours in the cupboard!
