Vaguely remember seeing a biscuit/cookie recipe for amaranth in the Super Natural Cooking book. Good luck!

Shaun – Very impressed you are able to let someone take over most of the cooking. I’m such a kitchen bully. Will definitely check out that recipe. Thanks. :)

Part of it is because I have moved home this year so don’t do most of the cooking. It’s only for this year as I work on my thesis, though. I do, however, have a great fondness for bulgur. Claudia Roden’s “(New) Book of Middle Eastern Food” has incredible recipes for many applications of bulgur. I have posted a recipe on my blog about one recipe from this book, if you’re interested:

Love your barley risotto…warms the heart and soul. Must have been lovely on a day of snowfall.

I’ve also been trying to branch out and cook with different kinds of grains. I made farro for the first time the other day and it was delicious. It reminded me a lot of barley. I’ll bet it would be great in your recipe. I think I’ll try it with the rest of it.

I bought a bag of amaranth too. I’ve no clue what to do with it, but it looks very pretty!

There are so many other grains to try, aren’t there? Thanks for reminding us of that.

Patricia – I’m on a huge pesto kick at the moment too. Must be an epidemic!

Gloria – I understood you perfectly! :)

I’m on a pesto vibe right now, so this would be the perfect lunch for me!

I have made a rissoto using farrow and it was really lovely. The farrow has a nutty bite to it. Sitting here having some Tom Yummish Soup for lunch. I just love your recipe for it. Put chicken in it this time rather than Parwns. Thanks for the lovely recipes!!!
