Oregon Hazelnut Country; the Food, the Drink, the Spirit--what a gorgeous, big book. I'm extremely impressed with how well it represents Oregon to the world--land of amazing beauty and bounty. The minute I opened this book for the first time, I knew that I had to own it. I've always loved Jan's fresh and exiting recipes and her colorful artwork in FOODDAY. This is a treasure. I am thrilled with it, can you tell?
(Please leave the full name of this book inside this review. I feel the last part of the title really best represents what the book is about. If seeing just the first part, I think folks might think it's just a hazelnut book...and if they don't especially care for them..it might be a turn off...and leave them thinking it's snoresville/just about hazelnut recipes. IT's SO MUCH MORE. You HAVE to go look at this book to see what I mean.) Thanks.

My husband who never used to cook (except once in awhile from Joy of Cooking) has a passion for this cookbook. He has to have it where he can find it at all times. Cute. :) I keep it on display just for him. (I have many, many cookbooks in my house...so this is really saying something!!)
I love the recipes in KA Whole Grain. I still can't get over that those cookies and brownies my husband makes from it have whole wheat in them. Amazing. He is so delighted that he takes the brownies to family parties; he takes them camping; he turns to this book every time he gets a craving for something wonderful and sweet.
Out of all the books I have and love (cookbook addict here) this is the ONE book I think EVERYBODY should own! No doubt about it! Start here. Actually COOK from it. You will not be sorry. I promise. If you doubt this, do a bit of searching around at online cooking forums, like Cooking Light's fantastic foodie chat forum. Raves just keep on coming in--FROM PEOPLE WHO BAKE--(not just enjoy reading it)--for this cookbook.
