    Grains

    Let's explore the possibilities of cooking grains that extend far beyond just rice. My recipes will guide you on how to transform pantry staples, such as   buckwheat, barley, and millet into delicious sides, mains, or even bread. I also offer the flexibility to choose between cooking the grains in an Instant Pot, on the classic stove top, or in the oven.
