In the end, most of us still want to spread a cookbook out on the kitchen counter, a rolling pin holding the binding open, grease splattering across recipes, and we also still want to curl up in bed, turning the pages and feeling the paperstock of a good cookbook. They line our bookshelves and top our refrigerators like art. While I can name at least fifty outstanding cookbooks published this year, I don't want to overwhelm you.

The grain is then cleaned to remove unwanted contaminants. The essence of puffing is to gelatinize the starch present in the grain in a hot pressure chamber and then suddenly release the pressure. This causes the grain to expand to several times it's original size. The pressure chamber is sometimes referred to as the "gun" and releasing the pressure is sometimes referred to as "firing the gun.
