Book of the week: The King Arthur Whole Grain Baking Book. OMG. I freaking love the flavor that whole grain flours bring to biscuits, cakes, and baked goods. For me, it's not so much a health thing as it is a love of the nutty flavor they impart. Although sure, added health doesn't hurt. The recipes in this book are solid, as I have come to expect from KA Flour. What I love best though is how it so clearly explains the art of baking with whole grain flours--how moisture, etc, need to be adjusted for best results. This is a great book if you want to give a go to whole grain baking.
