This review is from: Boutique Bean Pot: Exciting Bean Varieties in Superb (Paperback)

The book is well written and has good information about beans in general, but I was looking for a book with a lot of good recipes for bean stews, baked beans, bean soups, etc. It did have a number of recipes, but they were a bit odd and not really the type I wanted. They did look very healthful, though.

This review is from: Boutique Bean Pot: Exciting Bean Varieties in Superb (Paperback)

I agree with the previous reviewer, but would rate it a little higher. I've had the book for years and just never got into using it until recently (with the economy, beans are looking pretty good). Some of the recipes are pretty bizarre and not very appealing, but others are really delicious. The main tip is to feel free to substitute a more common bean, adjust the recipe to accommodate canned beans if you want, and you'll find some interesting and tasty new ways to prepare beans. Pick it up used for almost nothing.
