The book I specifically reviewing is "More than Breakfasts...with Blender Batter Baking & Allergy Alternatives." This book contains the "famous" recipe for blender batter pancakes, that our family loves. What is great about this recipe is that you can use fresh grains and you don't have to have a grain mill. Specific directions are given for use of different grains. You only need a good blender (Oscar ones works well) and your off.
We prepare the blender batter recipe the night before, so in the morning there is little we have to do. There are also other recipes for coffee cakes, crepes, muffins, and waffles, using the blender batter recipes. The procedure is so simple and the pancakes are so good! I recently got a box of pancake mix on sale because I was feeling a little lazy about making breakfast. After years of eating these recipes, the box pancakes had NO TASTE. Just bland! I was so disappointed with them. Plus they were not healthy for us.
This cookbook also has recipes for fruits, eggs, and homemade breakfast cereals. They give specific directions for many grains so even the beginner will feel confident. Each recipe has complete instructions that "talk" you through the entire process.
There are also chapters on Milk and Milk Alternatives, Planning for Breakfasts, Special Occasions, Menus, and my favorite: "A Window on Weight Management." There is also a chapter with Breakfast Menus with calorie counts and food exchanges for both him and her. Also included throughout are shorter articles on topics such as Apple Cider Vinegar, flaxseeds, and so much more.
This is such a great series for the veteran as well as the beginning chef. I love these cookbooks. The book I am reviewing I choose because mine was so worn out and stained, I wanted an updated clean version, LOL! There is a plastic cover to help with most spills.
