4.0 out of 5 stars Basic beans., January 10, 2008

This review is from: a.77 Cooking with Dried Beans (Paperback)

This pamphlet is a basic guide to types of beans, how to prepare them, and then use them in recipes. For what it is--small pamphlet-- it is adequate. I would rate it 3.5 stars because it would have been nice to have more up-to-date info on bean usage, as well as more recipes.

This review is from: a.77 Cooking with Dried Beans (Paperback)

A little disappointed. I expected, and would like to have, a much larger book. Also, she says it's better to simmer beans in the oven, but all the recipes call for cooking on the stovetop. I wish she would have at least put in a paragraph about how to adapt the recipes for the oven. Apparently I'll have to experiment to figure it out. It contains good information, though, & I'm looking forward to using it.
