    Most of the EYB recipe listings that I looked at did not include one or more of the recipe ingredients that are listed in the book.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chocolate-flecked farro banana bread

    • mllamas on November 07, 2023

      Banana flavor was subtle (because they were frozen and I drained off the liquid?) and the chocolate was strong. I didn't taste the spices much. But the texture was excellent, and I loved the spelt wheat flavor. Worth tinkering. I think this could easily become a go-to.

  • Farro coconut pudding

    • mllamas on November 13, 2023

      Tastes so much like rice pudding. I really loved this.

  • Mushroom & apple polenta with creamy Parmesan sauce

    • mllamas on November 13, 2023

      This was delicous, but the parmesan cream didn't really work - it ended up being very liquid with clumps of cheese. And the dish was very salty - that part is my fault I used a little too much better than bouillion.

  • Overnight oat bake with cherries and almonds

    • jennifer_vszvd1 on February 11, 2026

      Oats were still crunchier than we would prefer after 12 hours in fridge, so consider increasing fridge time before baking.

Publishers Text

The Miller's Daughter is a cookbook at the forefront of America's heritage grain movement with 80 glorious recipes and beautiful, candid stories that celebrate community, agriculture, sustainability, and the place of grains at every table.

Emma Zimmerman with her father, Jeff, is a rebel and a dreamer on the outskirts of rural Phoenix. In a country overrun by corporate, homogenized grain farming, the daughter-father team are champions of rare and near-extinct varieties of ancient grains. The rejuvenation of their business, Arizona's Hayden Flour Mills, is an unlikely tale of an underdog rising from the Wild West.

In The Miller's Daughter, Emma shares her stories of entrepreneurship and personal growth alongside stunning documentary photography. Her insights show readers how grains can and should be used to elevate our meals every day.

Organized by grain (from farro to white sonora to red fife to corn, barley, durum and rye), Emma's collection of recipes covers breakfast, sweet, savory and mains within each chapter. Think recipes for chickpea cookies, pink polenta with crispy pancetta, sprouted barley salad, farro crust tart, white sonora berry salad – and much more.

This is the true and captivating story of a mill restarted, of near-extinct grains rescued, and a whole host of nourishing dishes created and enjoyed along the way.
