I don't use Dr. Pitcairn's recipes as yet, but I will if one of my dogs get sick or otherwise compromised with any ailment. He has some recipes to help get them back to health. I do however use his book as a guidline on neutrition and do my own recipes, and his book is an excellent book to refrence how to take care of any problems, health or otherwise that may come up. I'm not big on medication if there is a safe alternative that has no other side affect.
As for the steel cut oats, here is a site that may be of interest.
