Comments from satisfied customers: "Thank you so much for all you do. Bean flour has completely changed my way of cooking. I use white bean flour very often now. I had NEVER bought white beans in all the 18 1/2 years I've been married. I am SO happy with the instant soup I now make. So is my family. I have not used white (wheat) flour in a whole year!"

3.0 out of 5 stars Tasty and Simple Recipes -Great for Gluten Free, August 30, 2005

This review is from: Country Beans - 2nd Edition (Paperback)

This cookbook provides recipes for simple and tasty meals using dried beans that can be found in any grocery store. I have other bean cookbooks that call for exotic beans that are difficult to find. My only problem with this book is that half of the recipes call for bean flours that are not so easy to locate. Health and specialty food stores may have one or two types of bean flours such as soy but not all of them called for in this book. The only place I could find pinto bean flour (used in many of the recipes) was in online stores with high shipping charges. The author directs the reader to Bob's Red Mill in Oregon but their web site did not offer any bean flours which may not be available anymore. Because I really wanted to try many of the recipes and I was intrigued with using bean flours in cooking, I took the author's advice and bought a K-Tec Kitchen Mill to grind my beans at home. I am happy with it and I think the instant refried beans made with pinto bean flour is tasty and will be a money saver over time. The soups thickened with bean flours will also be a healthy and tasty way to eat. If you are not interested in searching for bean flours or grinding them at home you may want to look at other bean cookbooks before you purchase this one. Although, this cookbook would be helpful for those allergic to wheat because the recipes show how bean flours can replace products containing gluten.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow information, loads of great recipes, January 12, 1999

This review is from: Country Beans - 2nd Edition (Paperback)

Rita Bingham has included a lot of great recipes. I've learned a lot from her informational section on storing, grinding, soaking and preparing beans for different uses. I also appreciate her list of places that sell supplies.

This book is a great incentive to do more with beans than you ever thought possible. How to include them in everything from breakfast to main dishes to cookies and desserts. Also how to make tofu. A very inspiring book!
