Grain Bowls

Master the techniques of making your perfect grain bowl. Ancient grains are making their way back into the modern-day diet, which is great news for health-inspired home cocks. They have always been around, but now you can find bulgar wheat, freekeh, buckwheat, quinoas, rices, barley, farro, kamut, wheatberries, and spelt at your local market. Here are recipes for every appetite, including lighter fare such as salads, filling vegetarian (even vegan) meals, as well as heartier bowls and meat and seafood. There are one-pot recipes such as stews and risottos, as well as classic assembled grain bowls topped with dressings and sauces.
