For years we have been advised us to eat more oats for a healthy heart. Despite being exceptionally nourishing, oat has tended to be a rather ignored grain with most cooks venturing little further than muesli, porridge, flapjacks and oatcakes. This book now opens all kinds of new and tasty doors on the oats scene. With over 100 easy-to-follow, imaginative recipes - both new and the classics that have withstood the test of time - Oat Cuisine gives every cook opportunities for cooking and baking in bold and subtle ways. All of the recipes feature oats; including DIY breakfast flakes, soups and savoury dishes, and including oat pasta and much more. Each recipe is awarded between one and five heart symbols so that the reader can see at a glance how healthy the recipes are. For example oat and cashew ice cream gets only one heart while hot muesli is awarded five. The perfect, practical guide for a healthy, balanced diet that is great for the taste buds as well.
