Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
The bulk of these recipes are vegan dishes with a Caribbean/Latin American flavor, but there are some Middle Eastern, Greek, Italian, and French dishes, and a few recipes from Africa, India, America, and Asia.

"Solomon's recipes are truly imaginative." --Vegetarian Times

From Booklist
In the health-conscious 1990s, beans are playing a big role in the daily American diet. Low in fat, calories, and sodium and rich in fiber and nutrients, the bean fits perfectly into the new food pyramid. Solomon not only presents a compilation of low-fat, vegetarian bean dishes, he also makes beans fun. His introduction to basic bean cookery will help beginners turn out perfect dishes, and a bean glossary gives a good description of what, for example, a cow pea looks like and in what dishes the beans are commonly used. Each recipe is followed by the nutritional profile of one serving. Caroline Andrew

4.0 out of 5 stars Spicy and exciting, November 18, 1999
These recipes are spicy and exciting -- just the thing to prove that vegetarian food is ANYTHING but boring! I love spicy food but I truly hate dishes that are pure heat with no flavor. Not true of these dishes -- Jay's recipes literally sing with flavor. Wonderful fare!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kitchen Crutch, December 18, 2003
By A Customer
I've had this book for nearly 2 years and I use a recipe from it at least once a week. I love the wide range of cuisines presented - from Jambalaya to Sambar to Groundnut Stew to Pasta e Fagioli. I haven't tried a recipe, yet, that I didn't like.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great food with on-hand ingredients, October 6, 1997
By mrsg@yellowdog.com (United States) - See all my reviews
This book is great for the fall and winter time when you're craving hearty, healthy food with mostly ingredients you are apt to have in your cupboard. Mr. Solomon uses a lot of different beans, hot peppers, and squashes, in a variety of ways. A good addition to your cookbook shelf!

5.0 out of 5 stars versatile, flavorful, and good
Nice variety of unusual recipes. I found this book when I was looking for Anasazi bean recipes. The Anasazi bean chili I found is the very best veggie chili I have ever tried. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars My most used bean book
I've used this book for around 10 years. I own a number of bean cook books but this is the one I go back to over and over.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Lean for these Beans
Very few of these recipes are lean. Many recipes have up to 30 grams of fat. When I fix bean dishes, I want to improve my health not give myself a heart attack. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars This should be called "Lean Bland Cuisine"
Despite his generous use of herbs and spices, the four recipes I tried all tasted generic and dull.
