Glorious One-Pot Meals: A Revolutionary New Quick and Healthy Approach to Dutch-Oven Cooking
By Elizabeth Yarnell
Broadway - 2009
This is a new and clever approach to using the dutch oven. A complete meal is cooked in the pot - grains, meat and veggies. The recipes are spot on; the author has a real knack for mixing ingredients and this method allows the flavors to come out. Also, the author explains the technique so that you can create your own one pot meals too. These are healthy meals with whole grains and lots of veggies.
Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day: 100 New Recipes Featuring Whole Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, and Gluten-Free Ingredients
By Jeff Hertzberg MD, Zoe Francois, Mark Luinenburg
Thomas Dunne Books - 2009
I feel that this book goes a step further from their original Artisan Bread book and it is very welcome, since many people want to incorporate more whole grains in their diet.
Three things you will want to have before using this book are whole grain flour, rolled oats and vital wheat gluten.
The Top One Hundred Pasta Sauces
By Diane Seed, Robert Budwig
Ten Speed Press - 2004
I was quite surprised that 90% of the recipes in this book call for cream or marscapone (or both). I'm not a fat hater; I'm completely open to cream sauces but where's the variety here? How about more tomato sauces? The sauce I made thus far was quite good. I will continue to try the book here and there, it's just not the end-all pasta sauce book I would have imagined.
