The front page shows various piles of beans in many colours.I am.more used to using some than others but since I have been experimenting with beanburgers I am more confident to move on.I am really pleased with the variety of recipes here.There are soups and salads, power bars (yes, even take away and wraps by the way), and stews.I am wonderfully surprised to see quiche, international dishes, lasagne and rice dishes too.The amount of recipes make this book so useful and it really is for all tastes. There are vegetarian, meat, egg, and fish - hot and cold - sweet and savoury, recipes - truly something to please everybody and, plenty of it.I think.this is a really economical way to feed the family but have them all enjoying meals. We do.All of these meals and snacks are really delicious!We find leftovers freeze well, and, we like to add other ingredients to make patties or burgers so this then becomes another way to make the most of our recipes

Basics were good - wanted more soup recipes

It became recently necessary for me to improve the nutrition value of my meals. Since I must do this while living on a fixed income, I have come to appreciate the lowly bean. Actually, both beans and rice. No more meat. except for fish. I've turned to an extremely healthy of beans, rice, various fruits and vegetables, and whole grains..Never mind the title. This woman author knows how to cook all sorts of legumes - even beans. This is just one of the recipe books I am reviewing for inspiration It's a good one.

No pictures. The recipes are not grouped in logical units.

Being an New Englander, I'm no stranger to beans. Yes, to many families up here, beans are still the Saturday night stable and you can attend at least 3 bean suppers in any area here in Maine on Saturday.I love all beans (except lentils) and am always looking for new ways to cook them. This morning I made the Mexican Scrambled Eggs and they were excellent. I'm looking forward to trying the Tuscan Sun Dried Tomato Soup and the Cannellini Bean Tuna SaladIf you are a bean lover, there is something here for every taste. Recommended

This small recipe book has about 70-75 pages of simple bean and legume recipes. The table of contents page listings do not match where you can find the recipes. Very ordinary book but it may have a few recipes you haven’t yet thought of. The “free gift” desserts book supposedly found on line does not exist.

You will be surprised in this book how may different beans and legumes there are.They are very good for you with a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals.And the other great thing is that they are good for losing weight as they leave you feeling full.Sarah has managed to supply lots of recipes including breakfasts,lots of soups,salads,main meals and side dishes.A very good read

I love lentils and beans and always looking for new recipes. This book explores using beans for recipes for breakfast, lunch, main meal and snacks. There are some veggie recipes and also an assortment of non veg recipes using a variety of meats.A recipe book to have in your collection

Unless you are American don't but this book! A lot of the ingredients are only to be found in USA; the language is American English. It is not worth the money!! Even if you are an American, there are better, more comprehensive, bean recipe books, to be found, that are only slightly more expensive.

Interesting book.
