If you don't cook with beans or rice at all, this might be a good starting point. There's plenty of good information in the introduction, nice pictures, and simple instructions. As someone who already uses both these ingredients regularly, I was a little disappointed. There really aren't many recipes I'm interested in trying. Too many of them were fritters, otherwise deep fried or soup recipes for my personal taste.

This book is beautifully presented and had good information on various types of beans. I was a bit disapointed with the recipies, after perusing the book I think there is probably only 1 that I will try

For anyone who puts food by, this cookbook is valuable. Beans, etc. store easily on the pantry shelf. This book illustrates ideas for cooking with those beans to vary the diet.
