The Flax Cookbook: Recipes and Strategies for Getting the Most from the Most Powerful Plant on the Planet - Softcover
Flaxseed has been around for centuries, but its pleasant flavor and unsurpassed health benefits have been largely overlooked until now. In The Flax Cookbook, nutritionist Elaine Magee introduces the reader to this extraordinary plant, explains why this rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and soluble fiber is essential to any diet, and shows how easily it can be incorporated into the foods we eat every day. Magee -- a regular contributor to Fitness, Parenting, and Cooking Light magazines -- offers 80 delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes that cover everything from muffins and power bars to entrees, desserts, and smoothies. Complete with sections on the history and properties of flax, the latest scientific findings on its health benefits, and 100 tips to help readers customize their own plan for adding flax to their diet, The Flax Cookbook is perfect for cooks looking to add some extra nutrition to the foods they love.

From Booklist:
Up until the past few years, flax was the concern of the clothier, not the cook. Everyone knew that flax produced linen. Then came the discovery of flaxseeds' benefits for good health. Elaine Magee's The Flax Cookbook lays out the nutritional arguments for consuming flaxseed: fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. One of the bases of the arguments for consuming more omega-3 fatty acids is that they block bad omega-6 fatty acids, which appear to be culprits in the onset of heart disease. And flaxseed provides both soluble and insoluble fiber, both of which have benefit. Because it's a crunchy little seed, flaxseed is particularly adaptable to bread recipes. Magee's flaxseed muffins get a boost of fruit and fiber both from a base of raisin bran in the batter and a bit of maple syrup that enhances the muffins' flavor. Her clever approach to basic flaxseed bread calls for choosing among twenty-plus ingredients as part of the bread's flavoring--apples, carrots, dates, peaches, pumpkin, and zucchini among them. Flaxseed also contributes to recipes as diverse as quiche, meatballs, artichoke dip, tacos, and spaghetti carbonara. Mark Knoblauch
