“Sproutman’s Kitchen Garden Cookbook” is a great all-purpose book for anyone new to sprouts and sprouting and for the sprout vetran who is looking for more recipes and ideas. The tone is chatty and humourous. The book is a great read cover to cover, but it can also be read a section at a time, in any order.
I received this book as a gift and almost immediately I had trays and bags of sprouts in my kitchen. We’ve stopped putting lettuce on sandwiches and use various sprouts. Sprouts on salad, in stir-fry, in soup… I’ve tried several of the recipes with success. The sprout bread is really popular and so are the crunchy sprouts.
One word of caution: sprout bread has neither the flavour nor the texture of bakery bread. It is better. It is sweeter and more satisfying. It is also packed with nutrition. If you are expecting something close to regular bread, you will be disappointed. If you remember that what you are eating is something else entirely, you will love it.
I’m into raw foodism and have found various recipe books for a raw foodist. This book is the best recipe book I know. It’s very detailed, practical, and rich in contents. I also like the philosophy of the author: While it is good to increase the intake of raw foods, it’s not necessary that every mouthful of food contains enzyme. Sometimes it’s necessary to cook the food at a relatively low temperature. I’ve learned to make sprouted wheat bread from this book. It’s very easy and the bread is wonderfully nutritious and delicious.
I recommend this book highly to every one, raw foodist or not.
If you are interested in the health benefits of eating healthy bread without the allergens and toxins of flour and have become a fan of the “Ezekiel Bread” you will love this cookbook. It is easy, and fun to grow your own sprouts, and see fresh bread in 3 days! Variations are endless and I think Steve has done a wonderful job showing how simple the process is, and it is not intimidating in beginning your road to better health. Thanks to the Sproutman for this wealth of information – be sure to share some of your bread with friends (they won’t believe it’s sprouted grain!).
Finally, a recipe book that has wonderful live food recipes that are practical and simple enough to where kids can help. The ingredients are easy to obtain and with a little kitchen equipment (dehydrator and food processor), I can finally make my family something simple and delicious. This is the only book I have where I can actually use 100% of the recipes, not just a few. Not only is this book one of the best raw food “non cook” books out there, it is full of nutrition information and humor. It will keep you smiling!
WOW! I never knew you could do so much with sprouts! I bought this book thinking of all the great salads I was going to make. After reading through this cookbook, I now am looking forward to sprout breads, cookies, bagels, and more. There are also lots of recpies that don’t use sprouts, like seed cheese and yogurt, cashew vanilla malt (delicious!), and soups and dressings.
This book is well worth the low price.
