My husband and I have been on a healthy eating plan (so much nicer to say than “diet,” don’t you think?) since December 1, and two things we have seriously cut out or decreased are white flour and refined sugar. Against the Grain by Nancy Cain has been a godsend. Since this new plan, I’ve been experimenting with using natural sugars and whole- and ancient grains. This book is filled with so many wonderful recipes incorporating options for both. The book has many colorful tabs sticking out of the pages. I love the use of canola oil and also coconut oil. I’ve found an organic brand that is a combination of the two oils that is fantastic. I own a lot of whole-grain cookbooks, but Against the Grain is by far the most wide-ranging. I love this book!
