Salute Sante' - to your health! _________________________________________________ Endorsements Our good friend, Loree Schubert, introduced my husband, Jerry, and me to the whole grains concept. I was interested from the "get go" and have always known that "we are what we eat." Since Jerry and I started going to Beverly’s classes, I have bought bread in an emergency only twice. We are genuinely hooked and glad of it. On average I bake 5 loaves a week but often twice that amount because my grandchildren love "Mimi’s" bread. That is really exciting because I know they are getting the health benefits of whole grain. Both Jerry and I attended the Basic Fundamentals class, and then every other class Bev has offered: Advanced & Holiday Breads, Drag Your Man, Whole Grain Pasta, Filled Pasta, French Bread & Soup, Pizza Rustica, Mexican Soups & Flatbreads, Rustic & Country Breads, Salads & Tea Breads and more. I have always loved baking bread, but this is as good as it gets when you know that you are making a difference in the health of everyone in the family. Although it has just been such a short time since we were introduced to Bare Essentials, I just can’t imagine making bread any other way. Jerry was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis a few years back, and it was so bad and debilitating it was taking over his life. A regimen of Prednizone and Sulfasalazine was prescribed. Severe side effects were experienced including "moon-face," water retention, and facial erethema. After several years of being utterly frustrated and with no positive results, he stopped taking all medication and at the insistence of a retired surgeon and good friend began taking Mannatech Supplements that Beverly also endorses. Later we learned of the whole grain classes and began baking and eating whole grain bread. Within 60 days he was experiencing virtually no symptoms of the disease nor has he had a recurrence or any sign of it since. His doctor is amazed that his bowel now appears completely normal. We are convinced that with the whole grains in our diet we will stay healthy and free of such ailments! Karolyn & Jerry Garland _________________________________________________ From amaranth to triticale, grains are widely recognized as a good source of fiber, carbohydrates and protein. It is Bev’s firm conviction that healthy food must, first and foremost, taste good. I have never attended a class or been a guest at Bev’s table without experiencing wholesome, mouth-watering foods. Grain of Truth shares her best recipes with you. It is a must! Debbie Leonard, M.S., R.D./L.D _________________________________________________ My wife's lifelong, intestinal illness was turned around the day she met and learned at Bev's hand. Now I share her knowledge with my own patients. Dr. Chris Meyer _________________________________________________ I have attended many of Bev’s classes for professional continuing education credits. Bev's impressive knowledge of the subject and her ability to convey it puts her in a league of her own. She is absolutely the "best of the best." Freda Schafer, L.D., R.D. _________________________________________________ I have lupus. My husband and I were planning my own funeral until our anniversary when he took me to Bev to be instructed on optimal health. I’m still here in working order enjoying my life and family! It doesn't get better than that. Tammy Bates _________________________________________________ Bev's notion is that food should be of gourmet quality - not taste "like tree bark" and that it can go across the menu although the daily bread is the cornerstone, the flagship item of our daily eating. I, as well as hundreds of people that Bev has taught, can attest that these "whole grain dishes" go seamlessly, gracefully, into meals without thought, without effort just due to a desire for the great tastes. Roberta Carter _________________________________________________ There is nothing at a grocery store that can rival this. These people push all boundaries. There's some fun stuff here that will have your friends talking. Ashley Parish, The Tulsa World _________________________________________________ Grain of Truth offers a new supply of creative ideas for healthy foods that are delicious. It takes cooking from being a chore to a hobby and form of entertainment. We especially appreciate the way the book explores different foods and ethnicity. Drs. Keith & Sharon Connell _________________________________________________ Every year I come all the way to Tulsa from Memphis, Tennessee, to glean the latest information from Bev on healthy, grain-based cooking. I love her newest recipes with hands-on instructions and nutrition tips. My whole famly reaps the benefits. Dale Hill, R.N., B.S.N _________________________________________________ Athletics is becoming increasingly more competitive, and more pressure to perform well is being applied. Nutrition plays a key roll in sports performance. Fatigue from lack of proper fuel defeats athletes more often than any competition. Complex carbohydrates like those found in Grain of Truth are the preferred fuel for the body during intense exercise. Christopher Doersam, Sports Medicine Olivete Nazarene College _________________________________________________ Does the term "whole grain kid food" sound like an oxymoron? Not to Beverly Prentice, a registered dietitian, mother of six, cooking teacher and owner of Bare Essentials, who is committed to the benefits of whole grain and healthy cooking that kids love. Parents notice the flavor; kids notice the texture. Treat your family to Prentice’s body-and-soul, satisfying recipes in Grain of Truth, Bev’s newest cookbook.
