Wholesome Wholegrain Cooking

‘Wholesome Wholegrain Cooking‘ WWC is the very first monthly on-going food event on Lite Bite. And I am all excited to host WWC, where all that starts with wholegrain ends being wholesome.

There are loads of informative and delicious events going around the Food blogs, mine is another minuscule effort to peek into your kitchen and get some of your culinary treasures for Lite Bite’s dinning table.

I wanted to make WWC a theme based event, wherein each time the Wholegrain chosen will be generalized into a specific meal. Such as, wholewheat for breakfast, wholewheat for lunch, Cornmeal for breakfast, Cornmeal in lunch and so on. Which in turn might help easy browsing and categorizing the recipes.

Hope you all would like the event and love to share the table.

This is the event calendar for WWC for the year 2011. If you are interested in hosting the WWC in one of the open months, please drop me an email at;

sklitebite[at]yahoo[dot]in

Here’s how WWC works:

Participants should use the ‘Key’ ingredient listed in the WWC for that particular month for preparing any dish they wish.
Post your recipe on your blog during the event’ schedule dates.
Old entries which are re posted during the event schedule dates are allowed.
Only vegetarian recipes, eggs are ok.
No deep fried recipes please.
You must provide a link to this event announcement page and to the guest hosting the event.
The theme and the Key ingredient for WWC will be announced on the same weekend of the round-up, mostly during the first week of the following month.
I would appreciate if you use the above logo for your post, though not mandatory.
The round up of the events will be posted on this page, along side the host’ blog.

Make a meal using the ‘Key’ ingredient and blog about it, send an email with WWC in the subject line to the above mail ID with the following information:

Your name-
Name of the recipe-
Link to your post-
Picture of the recipe-

Points to ponder;

The event could be conceived as an ingredient based (wholewheat) or a theme based (wholewheat in baking/lunch) monthly activity by the respective host of that month.

Wholegrain: Whole grain is that versatile food which can transform any recipe into a filling and healthy meal. Wholegrain are the unprocessed grains in which all the three layers, bran, germ and the endosperm remain intact. While refined grain are devoid of bran & germ making them less nutritive food. More about Wholegrain here;

The Wholesome Wholegrain

WWC is to get more creative ideas from all quarters of culinary world to boost the nutrition in our meals. I hope it will be fun & informative as well to experiment and cook with various wholegrain and add a new dimension to our meal and that is good health.

Some of the most common wholegrain are here for reference;

Whole Wheat/Bulgar
Brown rice
Oats
Millet
Barley
Corn
Quinoa
Flax seeds
Rye
Amaranth
Spelt
Ragi or Finger Millet

I really like this idea. I am not sure if I can fit in here.As i am gluten free.Other than quinoa there are less chances of cooking anything with whole grain. Yeah,In that case brown rice is also included. I will come back to read the details.
