Frequently asked questions about Books

What is the Ten Talents cookbook?

Ten Talents is a classic vegetarian and vegan cookbook built around whole plant foods, with no animal or dairy products or refined sugars. The 50th Anniversary Edition has 675 pages, over 1,000 recipes, 1,300 color photos and 21 chapters, from breads and gravies to sprouting, canning and meal planning. It's written for novice and experienced cooks alike. See Ten Talents Cookbook.

Do you have a whole-grain sourdough book?

Yes. Sourdough On The Rise by Cynthia Lair (181 pages) walks you through making your own starter from flour, water and warmth, then baking 30+ whole-grain sourdough recipes, from Danish rye seed bread and focaccia to English muffins and flapjacks. It pairs well with our bulk flours and grains. See Sourdough On The Rise.

Besides Ten Talents and Sourdough On The Rise, we carry An Avocado A Day by Lara Ferroni (187 pages, 70 recipes from savory to sweet, plus tips on picking and storing avocados). We also have Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis Balch, 6th edition, a large A-to-Z reference on vitamins, minerals and herbs. See An Avocado A Day.
