"Sproutman's Kitchen Garden Cookbook" is a great all-purpose book for anyone new to sprouts and sprouting and for the sprout vetran who is looking for more recipes and ideas. The tone is chatty and humourous. The book is a great read cover to cover, but it can also be read a section at a time, in any order.
I received this book as a gift and almost immediately I had trays and bags of sprouts in my kitchen. We've stopped putting lettuce on sandwiches and use various sprouts. Sprouts on salad, in stir-fry, in soup... I've tried several of the recipes with success. The sprout bread is really popular and so are the crunchy sprouts.
One word of caution: sprout bread has neither the flavour nor the texture of bakery bread. It is better. It is sweeter and more satisfying. It is also packed with nutrition. If you are expecting something close to regular bread, you will be disappointed. If you remember that what you are eating is something else entirely, you will love it.

Sproutman's Kitchen Garden Cookbook: 250 flourless, Dairyless, Low Temperature, Low Fat, Low Salt, Living Food Vegetarian Recipes (Paperback)
I bought this book because I hate shopping from long lists of ingredients.Some of the ingedients may be hard to find at a regular grocery store(ie tandoori paste or certain fresh herbs).I made the roasted onions with carrot puree, which was delicious.Although the ingredients are few, the preparation may be extensive.This is not a "quick and easy" cookbook.I liked the menu suggestions, complete with fat and caloric information.It would've been nice to have the nutritional information on the same page as the recipes instead of near the index, but that's a minor point.I know I'm going to use this cookbook a lot.
