This remarkable 64 page book begins by explaining what wheat is (along with other common grains), how to select it and store it, its nutritional qualities, even growing wheat sprouts. It then proceeds to teach you how to make bulgur and popped wheat.
There is a section on grinding wheat and the art of bread-making. (If you've never made bread, you'll really appreciate this!) How to make fluffier whole wheat bread, high protein bread and even whole wheat crackers. Making sourdough and starter, making primitive breads, as well as noodles, pasta and dumplings.
Included is an enlightening section on making gluten meat substitute ... how about a tasty Wheat Beefsteak?
John includes a list of essential tools and supplies and sources of grain mills. (Of course, you want to buy the Family Grain Mill, right? It's the only one still readily available during these troubled times.) Unfortunately, he leaves us out of the list of suppliers (shame, shame...), but, you've found us, so that's OK. Maybe you can call him and insist that we be included in the next printing.
The last page is a bibliography that lists 15 books on related subjects. It's a bit dated and some of the books may be out-of-print.
If you've ever talked to Phyllis or me, you know that we counsel against building a too-strict diet for your food storage. You can die--starve to death--surrounded by food that your body refuses to eat due to appetite fatigue (research it). But we believe you'll be well-pleased with this book. It's very informative and helpful in creative uses of wheat that may not be in your cookbook. And it ships from us so you'll get it quickly.
How to Live on Wheat sells for $6.00 and we charge $2.75 shipping/handling. It's a good investment. (To order online, go to our Shopping Cart.)
