Spelt is a wonder grain. Its deep, nutty flavour and amazing
versatility make it a storecupboard essential, not to mention the
health benefits. With a broader spectrum of nutrients than modern
wheat, it is also easier to digest, lower GI and is known to aid
the prevention and treatment of various ailments and conditions.
The spelt revival is being championed by Roger Saul, the UK's
trusted expert, who grows organic spelt on his farm, Sharpham Park
in Somerset. For Roger, spelt is a passion, and he has spent years
experimenting. The welcome result is this definitive collection of
delicious, wholesome recipes with spelt at their heart. From loaves
and cakes full of flavour, to crisp, crumbly pastries, tarts and
biscuits, spelt opens up a whole new world of baking possibilities.
Try one of the wonderful breads, such as Walnut and Stilton Bread,
a hearty dinner such as Moroccan-Spiced Lamb Speltotto, or the
sweet indulgence of the Summer Raspberry Cake and join the ranks of
people choosing this go-to grain.
"Despite Canada's claim to be a gender equitable nation, militarism
continues to function in ways that protect inequality." -from the
Introduction Little has been done to examine, critique, and
challenge the ways ingrained societal ideas of militarism and
gender influence lifelong learning patterns and practices of
Canadians. Editor Nancy Taber and ten other contributors explore
reasons why Canadian educators should be concerned with how
learning, militarism, and gender intersect. Readers may be
surprised to discover how this reaches beyond the classroom into
the everyday lessons, attitudes, and habits that all Canadians are
taught, often without question. Pushing the boundaries of education
theory, research, and practice, this book will be of particular
interest to feminist, adult, and teacher educators and to scholars
and students of education, the military, and women's and gender
studies. Contributors: Mark Anthony Castrodale, Gillian L.
Fournier, Andrew Haddow, Cindy L. Hanson, Laura Lane, Jamie
Magnusson, Robert C. Mizzi, Shahrzad Mojab, Snezana Ratkovic, Roger
Saul, Nancy Taber.
