Amazon.com's customers give this great book a solid 5-star rating. Author Aliza Green has gathered recipes for all sorts of wonderful bean dishes, ranging from gourmet items such as Ravioli with Spring Greens Filling and Creamy White Bean and Sage Sauce (doesn't that sound good?) to simple fare such as Senate Bean Soup. The recipes are practical; ordinary folks can make them without having special equipment or exotic ingredients (mostly). Vegetarian recipes are clearly marked. This book is a winner.
Too Many Tomatoes, Squash, Beans, and Other Good Things: A Cookbook for When Your Garden Explodes
Available online at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0... . Although this is technically not a bean book, it provides plenty of help to the home gardener who grows beans. In separate chapters for each major type of home-grown vegetable, the author tells us what we need to know to use, cook, can, or otherwise preserve this bounty. (If you've ever grown tomatoes or zucchini, you know what a problem it can be to figure out what to do with them when they all ripen at the same time.) The book has been selling steadily for over ten years and remains one of the best-selling cookbooks on Amazon.
Magic Beans: 150 Delicious Recipes Featuring Nature's Low-Fat, Nutrient-Rich, Disease-Fighting Powerhouse Available online at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0... . Don't you love that title? The author is, of course, dead-on right; beans are low in fat and rich in nutrients, and they are highly effective disease fighters. That said, however, what about the rest of the book? The recipes are first class. Almost all of them look appetizing to me, most are fairly easy to make, and all feature wonderful, healthy beans--even the bread and muffins at the back of the book. Each recipe has full nutritional information. You're sure to find plenty of good cooking ideas here.
The Bean Book Available online at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0... Roy Guste, the former proprietor of Antoine's Restaurant in New Orleans and a noted cookbook author, has gathered wonderful bean recipes from around the world for this book, the most recent bean cookbook on the market. He provides a full nutritional analysis of each recipe as well as light versions of each. How does Bourbon and Black Bean Pie sound? |
