The Miller's Daughter is a cookbook at the forefront of the American heritage grain movement, featuring 80 delectable recipes and captivating, candid stories that celebrate community, agriculture, sustainability, and the importance of grains at every table.

Emma Zimmerman, alongside her father, Jeff, is a rebel and a dreamer on the outskirts of rural Phoenix. In a country dominated by corporate, homogenized grain farming, the daughter-father duo are champions of rare and nearly extinct varieties of ancient grains. The revival 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 demonstrate how grains can and should be incorporated into our daily meals to enhance their flavor and nutritional value.

Organized by grain (from farro to white sonora to red fife to corn, barley, durum, and rye), Emma's collection of recipes spans 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 many more.

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