Kessinger Publishing is the place to find hundreds of thousands of rare and hard-to-find books with something of interest for everyone!
This short, charming little primer in wholegrain cookery was written in 1951 - long before healthy eating was a national obsession. Reprinted numerous times, it became a pioneer cookbook: one of the first to reintroduce the joys of wholegrain recipes to the American home cook. Vrest Orton and Mildred Ellen Orton, a husband-and-wife team who also operated a stone mill, a set of country stores, and a mail-order catalog, offer readers a simple, warm, and welcoming approach to such regional classics as Southern Johnnycake and Vermont Indian Pudding. Along the way, they offer an impassioned argument for wholegrains, as well as a witty critique of the refined, shelf-stable flours that had become so seductive to postwar cooks. Today, a new audience of readers is discovering that wholegrains are not only healthy, but tasty and comforting as well. The Ortons' delightful guide ranks as one of America's most important grain cookbooks; it both preceded the current health craze and remains true to its present concerns. "Cooking With Wholegrains" is sure to find a place in every natural-food kitchen.

Since its original publication in 1969 by Yankee, Inc., Vrest Orton's classic book on fireplace design has gone through numerous printings and has brought about a revival of the Rumford fireplace. The basic principles that Count Rumford set forth in 1795 describe the construction of a large shallow fireplace which does not smoke and which throws out much more heat than many of today's fireplaces which send too much of the heat up the chimney. This new edition contains some practical notes by Wally Leeds, a mason in Tunbridge, Vermont who builds Rumford fireplaces today.
This gem of recollection and poetry was published by Academy Books, Rutland, Vermont in 1979. The book includes a touching account of a 25 year friendship between Orton and Frost, several extraordinary photographs of Frost including the haunting portrait of 1955 by Clara Sipprell, and a selection of poetry by Vest Orton incorporating the ideas of Robert Frost in Orton's own unique poetic voice.
