(More customer reviews)First, there's some really good information on flaxseeds in this book and that's why I'm giving it four stars. Some of the muffin recipes sound good to me, but that's about it for the cookbook portion. Pancake syrup and light corn syrup are common ingredients used in baked goods. Most of the smoothie recipes call for ice cream or frozen yogurt (sounds like a milk shake to me). As for the rest of the recipes - just add 1/4 cup ground flaxseed to whatever you cook.
