Whole Grain Flour Power Cookbook
“Whole Grain Flour Power… Sharing the Secrets of Baking with Incredible Flavor, Nutrient -packed, Freshly Milled Flour” cookbook is a collection of customer favorites and “best sellers” from nine plus years of our very successful farmers market business here in Houston Texas, Bakers by Heart. The cookbook includes an in-depth look at the wonder of wheat and the decline in world health linked to commercially milled flour. The full-color cookbook has tools, tips, and techniques for new and experienced bakers, and over 90 recipes of a wide variety of sweet, savory, and simple breads, desserts, and a fun collection of tortillas, crackers, energy bars and more, all made with freshly milled flour.
The book reflects our passion for the unmatched flavor and nutrients found in freshly milled whole grain flour. That passion became our motivating force as we put our hearts into everything we baked! Customers became “regulars” and then became friends. We held baking classes for those who wanted to learn the skills of milling and baking for themselves and witnessed a growing consciousness of the importance of healthy eating choices for their families. The cookbook began at their request, and it has become our passion to share it with all “bakers by heart!”
Our full-color cookbook is designed to meet this demand by offering over 300 pages of insightful, easy-to-follow recipes, beautifully showcasing the end results.
We would also like to share the following editorial review from Peter Reinhart. We hope it will be helpful as you consider Whole Grain Flour Power.
Whole Grain Cookbook, by the mother/daughter team of Lounell and Marianne Claybourn, is a book from the heart and one that will touch yours as well. It is dedicated to the principle that freshly milled whole grain flour is far more delicious and nutritious than commercially milled flour. The proof is in the pudding, as the saying goes, and their book is chock full of easy to make recipes and delicious-looking photos of the many products that the Claybourn's have been selling successfully for years at local markets. Reading their story allows us to enter into a world that evokes wholesomeness and a yearning for both a nostalgic past as well as a hopeful future. It has been said that the future of bread can be found in its past, and the recipes and photos in this book transport our longings for that past into the present moment, evoking a renewed belief that, yes, this is what I want, what I've always wanted.
