by Elisabeth Dopp, Christian Willrich, Jorn Rebbe

Every year people are more and more conscious of their health. Many are eating better and exercising regularly. The diversity of exotic, yet nutritious foods from around the world readily available today means that eating healthy is more satisfying than ever. With Grains, the sixth book in Barron's series of cookbooks on healthy eating, an essential dietary component is featured in mouth-watering recipes. The dishes are delicious, often exotic, fun, easy to prepare and healthy. The flexi-bind book, which stays open to facilitate reading recipes while cooking, features over 50 easy-to-follow, tasty recipes and lush full-color photography. It begins with a short introduction explaining why grains are becoming increasingly popular, followed by five - Vital food - salads and side dishes
- With pizzazz! - light meals for the small appetite
- Gorgeous grain - from pot to pan
- Fire up the oven - hearty dishes from the oven
- So sweet - sweets with grains Each recipe is clearly laid out and includes information such nutritional value; "extra hints" like who best to serve the dish; whether it is a quick meal, and/or something a bit different; variations on the standard recipe; the cost; whether the dish can be prepared in advance; country of origin; and whether it is a light or heavy meal. Readers will find themselves not only preparing the dishes for guests on special occasions, but using the recipes everyday as well.
