_The Save-Your-Life-Diet High-Fiber Cookbook_ was written by David and Barbara Reuben in the mid-70's. I don't even know if it is still in print. It contains some spectacular recipes and some ho-hum ones. Here is one of the former, as adapted by my father and then by me: 1 Tbsp. olive oil 5 cloves minced garlic 1 Spanish onion, chopped 1 bell pepper, chopped 1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced 2 tomatoes, chopped 2 cups chicken or turkey stock 2 tsp. ground cumin (or use more, if you like cumin a lot) 2 tsp. dried oregano 1 bay leaf 1 cup whole wheat berries Salt to taste Saute garlic, onions, pepper, and mushrooms a couple of minutes. Add tomato and saute a little more. Add everything else and boil at least 40 minutes, until the wheat berries are a pleasant chewy consistency. It's best to make this the night before cooking the bird. Roast it breast- down; the juice soaks into the breast. You can turn it upside-down to brown the breast, but only at the end of the roasting.
