cream of wheat berries with cranberries and cardamom

[Guest guest]

I may have posted this before.... (everything looks familiar lately.)

 

Idea! The AP article mentions Robin's idea -- to use a timer switch (the kind

I'd use to turn lights on at night).

 

" For dishes that require less cooking time, Robertson suggests plugging the slow

cooker into a timer switch, the sort that turns lamps on and off at preset

times. These inexpensive devices are available at most hardware stores.

 

" She cautions that timers should not be set for more than a two-hour delay;

uncooked food should not be left out longer. "

AP VEGETARIAN COOKING by J. M. Hirsch 2004-02-23

.... I was particularly drawn to a short chapter at the back of the book that

offers 13 recipes for warm cereals and breads that would be perfect for a snowy

Sunday morning with the newspaper.

 

Despite a love for hot whole-grain cereals packed with nuts and dried fruit, I’m

reluctant to make them. Most mornings it is because there is no time. On

weekends it is because cooking is the last thing I want to spend my morning

doing.

 

Robertson’s solution is to cook the grains overnight in a slow cooker so your

cereal is ready for when you rise.

 

Many of the recipes cook at low temperature and require about eight hours,

perfect for starting as you turn in.

 

For dishes that require less cooking time, Robertson suggests plugging the slow

cooker into a timer switch, the sort that turns lamps on and off at preset

times. These inexpensive devices are available at most hardware stores.

 

She cautions that timers should not be set for more than a two-hour delay;

uncooked food should not be left out longer.

 

Many of the whole grains called for in Robertson’s recipes can be purchased in

the bulk sections of grocers and natural food stores.
