The Homemade Flour Cookbook: The Home Cook's Guide to Milling Nutritious Flours and Creating Delicious Recipes with Every Grain, Legume, Nut, and Seed from A-Z

Great book

Excellent - as described!

An excellent book if you have no idea where to start. I love it.

This book has helped me in finding simple ways to eat better and healthier w/o complicating my life. I was surprised how easy it is to make just a cup or two of flour in my high power blender whenever I need a little. Rice flour or oat flour is a cinch to make in just seconds! Oat flour added to my dogs shampoo or to bath water works wonders on dry skin and feels so silky soft on the skin. Turns out that's pretty much the same thing as the expensive oat powders used to sooth skin & for relaxing bath times that are sold at specialty stores and pharmacies, & costs only pennies on the dollar by comparison. I've also found that I can use beans or lentils to make one ingredient only pastas and it's very simple, quick, trades empty carbs for fiber & protein, and saves a lot of money for people who buy those expensive specialty pastas. Makes pasta into a healthy meal! This book is an eye opener for me. While it may not have showed me how to make the things I do from my flours, it did open my eyes to all the possibilities and ease of doing it. It is full of ideas, written well, easy to use and understand, and opens the door to unlimited possibilities as it did for me. I eat healthier and save a lot of money on what would be considered gourmet foods and luxury bath items. I don't use all the fancy grains mentioned in the book, but you could. I've stuck to the rice, oat, bean, & lentil flours because of simplicity and ease of getting these from any grocery store out there, as well as saving money. If you wanted to use all the fancy flours, the sky's the limit, but not necessary to make a difference in your cooking and life. I'm not disappointed in this book. I also don't spend a lot of time cooking. Quick & simple is my motto! It was surprising to me that making my own flour for pasta, shampoo & bath water additives could be so cheap, fast, & easy! Love the book & well worth it! This is my own honest review. I didn't receive the book at any discount & wasn't asked to review it for any benefit to me.

So useful, full of pertinent information on easy to make flours from a w-i-d-e range food items, like coconut, beans, nuts, cereals, grains, etc. Each flour has individual recipes, the book is well put together, with some amazing photos of both the flours and the recipes.
