Everything you want to know about beans--plus good recipes
This book identifies all kinds of beans, gives their Latin names (handy since beans have so many different names), place of origin, and a brief history of their uses. Each is accompanied by a lovely drawing of the beans; some include drawings of the bean in the pod, fresh, and dried. The book is arranged by type of bean, with a variety of recipes for each.

Too big for its... erm... recipes.
Too much white space, pictorials, and section headings. The recipes are inventive, and helpful cutting-fat-n-calories tips are given, and I know way more about beans than I did before I owned it. BUT my cookbook shelf is high-priced book realty, and if one book is gonna take up a selfish inch-an-a-half, it'd better have heaps of recipes inside. This one doesn't!

Everything you want to know about beans--plus good recipes,
By Latin Music Lover "larosaboricua" (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bean Book (Hardcover)
This book identifies all kinds of beans, gives their Latin names (handy since beans have so many different names), place of origin, and a brief history of their uses. Each is accompanied by a lovely drawing of the beans; some include drawings of the bean in the pod, fresh, and dried. The book is arranged by type of bean, with a variety of recipes for each. Includes green beans, peas, soybeans, and snow peas. The recipes come from all over the world. Since the traditional recipes use olive oil, butter, and other fats liberally, the author provides a "lighter version" of each recipe. NOTE: This is NOT a vegetarian cookbook. There are many vegetarian recipes, but also plenty of recipes using meat and and animal fats.

Given as gift and got a lot of oo's & ah's .
"Gee I didn't know that", was the phrase of the day. "Who would write a book only about beans?" Great book. |
