About Recipes From The Old Mill: Baking With Whole Grains
Product Description Simple grains yield rich breads that range from the mystically light to the substantially chewy. These breads offer incontestable food value and flavor; they will satisfy and delight those sensitive to nutritional concerns. The very act of bread baking itself provides a welcome diversion from the computer screen or office -- and a gratifying result, no matter one's other occupations! Two sisters, whose family has operated a mill for two generations producing stone-ground flours, bring these recipes from the family and neighbors in West Virginia. Here are more than 180 recipes for a multitude of breads, sweet rolls, international grain dishes, and desserts. Each recipe is explained in thorough detail for a novice as well as an experienced baker.Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Good Books and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of cookbooks, including books on juicing, grilling, baking, frying, home brewing and winemaking, slow cookers, and cast iron cooking. We’ve been successful with books on gluten-free cooking, vegetarian and vegan cooking, paleo, raw foods, and more. Our list includes French cooking, Swedish cooking, Austrian and German cooking, Cajun cooking, as well as books on jerky, canning and preserving, peanut butter, meatballs, oil and vinegar, bone broth, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home. From Publishers Weekly The authors are sisters who grew up near their family's stream-powered grist mill in West Virginia. Their collection of 170-plus healthful recipes using a variety of whole grains is also a meditation on the staff of life, both organic and spiritual. Five chapters on kinds of grain (Corn, Wheat, Rye, Buckwheat and Multi-Grain) offer selections of grain-specific recipes (e.g., Corn Chips and Roberta's Sourdough Rye loaves). Five more chapters expand on categories like Main Dishes and Desserts. Straightforward tips included at the end of recipes (e.g., ways to shape rolls and buns) are reassuringly helpful and are listed in the table of contents for easy reference. The range of recipes, especially for those using whole wheat flour, is extensive: 100% Whole Wheat French Bread, Whole Wheat Brownie Pie, Whole Wheat Tortillas. Recipes for using doughnut holes to make muffins or for throwing stale bread and aging cheese into a bread souffle articulate the authors' principles of good stewardship of the earth's resources. Pen-and-ink drawings add to the charm of this book, which will appeal to novice and veteran bakers. The authors make no mention of bread machines. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal The authors are sisters who grew up near an old grain mill, and Lind's husband is the miller there today. Both sisters have a background in home economics (Lind is a registered dietitian), and these are the recipes they have developed over the years. There are corn, wheat, rye, buckwheat, and multigrain breads, as well as some main dishes and desserts based on grains. Many old-fashioned breads are included, and the book has a nice, homey feel. A number of excellent books by artisan bakers have appeared in recent years, including Joe Ortiz's The Village Baker (LJ 12/92); with its sense of home and family, Recipes from the Old Mill has its own appeal.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
