Einkorn: Recipes for Nature's Original Wheat by Carla Bartolucci

A few years ago, I heard about Einkorn for the first time.  A food blogger was "sold" on this grain and was singing the praises of the new-old type of wheat.  Although intrigued, I never tried it.  Now that my daughter has a gluten sensitivity and I have had the opportunity to read this book, einkorn is now on my shopping list.


In "Einkorn: Recipes for Nature's Original Wheat" by Carla Bartolucci, the author shares her daughter's severe sensitivity to current wheat and the positive differences changing to einkorn has made in her life.

In addition, this book give a ton of information how to use einkorn, the differences between it and current wheat, and lots of fabulous-looking recipes I can't wait to try including sourdough bread and slow-rise sticky buns.

"The Bones will Speak" by Carrie Stuart Parks

"Forensic artist Gwen Marcey has become the target of a serial killer who believes he's been appointed God's executioner..."

Prior to receiving "The Bones will Speak" by Carrie Stuart Parks to review, I had not read anything by this author.  But after seeing the high reviews the first book in the Gwen Marcey series had received ("A Cry from the Dust"), I immediately got my hands on a copy. 

Like the first book, I found myself really wanting to like it.  The idea of the story is really very good.  What I found for me, though, was the dialogue was tedious (more suited to a screenplay, I thought) and all the detail made for a very slow-moving read.

Mrs. Parks, I really appreciate your efforts and hope that you will continue to write.  I hope that you accept my comments in the spirit they are intended...
