Greens and grains are abundant in vitamins and minerals and an invaluable source of protein and fiber. Best of all, they're utterly delicious! The forty-five recipes in this book combine a variety of grains with nutrient-rich greens like kale, chard, spinach, escarole, nettles, and collards in dishes for all occasions—many requiring only one pot!

Why would you choose kale over collards or barley over buckwheat? Here, food writer Watson highlights the unique characteristics of more than a dozen types of greens and grains. After sharing easy techniques that can help readers process a glut of either, she combines the two in soups, small plates, salads, and main dishes. Despite the occasional crumble of bacon, these easy and feel-good recipes (e.g., beet greens and barley borscht, chard quinoa terrine, wild rice salad with kale, pecans, and blueberries) are vegetarian-friendly. They also include refreshing preparations beyond boiling; quinoa, for example, is used as a breading agent, crunchy condiment, and cracker component. VERDICT This practical and colorful collection offers a wide variety for fans of leafy, grainy dishes, and like Liana Krissoff's Whole Grains for a New Generation, it's very accessible. For a more diet-focused take, try Patricia Green and Carolyn Hemming's Grain Power.
