About Grains as Mains

Cooking with grains is a flourishing global trend.

Grains as Mains is not a vegetarian cookbook, but the majority of the recipes are meat-free, with suggestions for "choosing your own protein" accompaniments.

With warm and evocative photography and step-by-step techniques, this book takes a fresh approach to cooking with century-old grains.
