The recipe instructions tend toward the insanely detailed side of things -- even for familiar and "easy" grains like rice or corn grits. But I've found that to be more instructive in the long run, as it helps you get a sense for what's happening with the grains as they cook.
I've also started cooking rice in a ceramic donabe recently, and have been meaning to try some other grains in there as well. I asked Glenn Roberts from Anson Mills about that, and he informed me that pretty much any grain can be cooked in a donabe, provided that one gets the hydration right.
I will second the thank you for posting about this site. Wow, what a lot of work they put into it. I wish I could get their products...I just emailed them to see if they ship to Western Canada.
@ElsieD If you want an interesting salad, try Diana Henry's "Crazy Salad" from A Change of Appetite on page 230. It uses farro, lentils and chickpeas in a very flavourful dressing. Here is a picture....I had some feta kicking around so I put some on the salad.
