I have never been a bean lover but am a vegetarian. So when I discovered More Easy Beans and found so many great recipes, especially for appetizers, I was hooked. I truly believe this is the best bean book I have ever used. Some recipes call for meat, but of course, everyone has a friend who likes red meat. What I really found helpful was the recipes all use a can of beans or allow you to make the beans from scratch. All the recipes I have tried are right on with the cooking times. Other books I have used produce bean mush at the end. I highly recommend More Easy Beans.

Who knew beans were so versatile? This lively cookbook also provides a wealth of information on bean nutrition, varieties, preparation and availability. I consult it for exciting potluck appetizer recipes like creamy frijole dip and black bean tarts, exotic salads like white bean crab salad and adzuki fruit salad as well as everyday main courses such as chili (for which there are five variations) and wraps.

The recipes are usually quick, the directions are straightforward and the results are tasty and nutritious. This would be a great gift for the health conscious and vegetarians on your gift list!

I loved this book, I am on the weight watchers core plan and the recipes in this book are so easy to manipulate to fit into my diet as free food. I never go hungry and the recipes are so awesome. I recommend this book to everyone who loves beans and looking for a little variety on how to cook them. FANTASTIC! LOVE IT!

This is probably my favorite cookbook so far. The recipes are tasty, healthy and not too complicated. I already loved black beans and was happy to see many recipes which included them. The Lentil Mung Bean Soup has become a favorite at my house.
Definitly worth adding to your library!

This cookbook and its first one EASY BEANS are the 2 best cookbooks that I have ever used!!

Since family diet has turned mainly towards a vegetarian one, I have been searching for cookbooks that would be helpful in pursuing recipes along those lines. Although there are recipes that do contain meat, I have found it easy to substitute those ingredients with vegetarian replacements.

I LOVE beans. I'm one of those fortunate people who never has any side effects from them. ;-D
All my friends and family know I love beans, especially since I make Chile like once a week (I'm a lazy cook.) My sister-in-law gave this to me for Christmas and I've already worked through half, which is kinda impressive for me because there are a lot of recipes. I've loved almost every one, especially the kidney bean asiago soup!! So I was amazed that only a few people have written reviews. If you like flavorful, healthy, easy dishes, buy this book.
