Great recipes, some simple

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2014

Oh wow. Great recipes, some simple, a great source of information in nutrition, and easy to follow. I love this one, and find it easy to stray from the recipes to throw in my own touches.

Some very interesting way to integrate beans (for better health) into a "normal" diet. The recipes should cut my budget and my cholesterol. Thanks

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2005

I ordered this book because I really like to cook and love legumes and my pressure cooker. Perhaps I should have looked elsewhere.

The recipes in here are nicely put together with the nutrition information and there is quite a bit of information on legumes. However, I found that there were too many Southwestern Chili type recipes for my taste. If you like to make chili and lots of Mexican and Southwestern inspired dishes this might be the cookbook for you. That is not to say that there aren't some Mediterranean and Caribbean inspired recipes but it just seems that the Tex-Mex and Southwestern flavors beat out the others.

Also, I happen to loathe margarine and avoid it at all costs. I love to cook and would much rather use less butter or a combination of canola oil and butter or olive oil or even an olive oil spray -- anything but margarine. Not only does this cookbook call for margarine specifically, but diet margarine. In the same vein I understand that the author is an M.S., R.D. but I really don't think there is a need to use Fat-Free Dressing for everything. I also didn't like that one of the recipes called for onion soup mix. I have never purchased onion soup mix and try my best not to purchase lots of processed foods. Thus, I get very uneasy when a cookbook uses these types of ingredients.

One more irksome tidbit was the fact that there weren't any recipes or mention of other beans such as the anasazi, adzuki, flageolet, cranberry to name a few.

This cookbook might not be the best cookbook for someone looking for a wider repertoire of legume recipes than your Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook can offer.

Beans Without the Farts

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2005

I found this book very useful and informative on preparing dishes with beans. It covers preparation for all beans you would find in your local supermarket.

One subject the book covers is gas. A lot of people find beans very tasty and filling but find the gas too embarassing if not repulsing to the point where they will never eat beans again. This book covers the topic and even tells you what to add to any bean recipe to alviate the problem without changing taste. I personnaly knew this could be done but wasn't totally sure until I bought the book. Although everybody's body is different, it worked for me.

The only reaon this book gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because although it talks about all beans and how to soak them, most of the recipes call for "canned beans," rather than cups of soaked beans that you would have prepared. This I found confusing at first. With a little common sense and reading however, you would know that 1 15oz can of kidney beans is the same as kidney beans you soaked and cooked.

a bit disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2013

Some good points...good information about beans and how to prepare; here and there a few interesting recipes.

Disappointment....probably 70+ % of recipes smack of southwest/mexican flavors and the baked beans recipes
not that great either. If I had know of the number of cumin, garlic, chili powder, etc. recipes I probably would not
have purchased.

Lovely Book for Using Canned Beans

Reviewed in Canada on June 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

This cookbook has many recipes and it is worth looking into if you wish to have access to a number of quick and easy recipes using beans. My only critique is that the recipes call for cans of beans and it does not provide equivalents for dried beans, or recipes/guidelines for cooking pulses/legumes from dry or from fresh (as in, grown in one's garden). I was disappointed with this since I wish to avoid buying canned foods.
