"Millions suffer needlessly not knowing their chronic illnesses, digestive problems, headaches, autoimmune diseases, joint pain, weight gain, depression, fatigue and more are caused by eating a staple in our diet - a little pesky protein called gluten found in wheat, barley and rye. Leslie Cerier's new cookbook opens a world of food wonder and delight, making gluten free eating an inviting celebration of flavors, textures and colors. The side effect is weight loss, energy, and for many relief of serious chronic illnesses. For anyone who wants to celebrate food while getting healthy, and living lightly on the planet this cookbook is your guide."

"The perfect primer for getting acquainted with a wide range of lesser- known whole grains, whether you're following a gluten-free diet or not. The general information on how to cook grains to control texture and taste is invaluable, and the many recipes are creative and original."
-Cynthia Harriman, Director of Food and Nutrition Strategies for the Whole Grains Council and its parent organization, Oldways.

"With our health and the health of our planet in mind, Cerier has successfully created exquisite culinary sensations using grains, exotic rices, fruits, and vegetables."

You can gauge a people's overall condition by the quality of its food. Americans typically allow themselves ill-prepared, ill-presented, fast, neurotic, unhealthy, and tasteless food. Leslie Cerier's book offers imaginative ways to restore health and taste, providing practical information, great recipes, and a fresh vision of what eating could be.
