Bean by Bean: More Than 175 Recipes for Fresh Beans, Dried Beans, Cool Beans, Hot Beans, Savory Beans, even Sweet Beans! Review: This book is all you really need to learn how to cook a huge variety of interesting beans - The author has had a life long interest in Beans and it shows! The recipes are interesting, delicious, and many types from Basic to fancy and lots of variety. A lot of commenters noted the author can be overly wordy and imaginative which is strange for a cookbook. If you don’t like it skip the chapters in the beginning- I feel her recipe intros are very good at describing the unique features of each recipe, as well as encouraging and enticing to make you want to try new things. I have several books on just beans and this is one of my top two favorites. There are no pictures, true, but I feel this book was written by a gifted writer, who is also a long time home chef, and her descriptions do more for me than a picture. Also I’m kind of glad there’s no pictures because this book is just full of great cooking instruction- more room for the important matters. I don’t think I’ll ever catch up to making all the recipes I want to try. It will take me years. And finally, her substitution suggestions are very good. A lot of common beans recipes include ham products. I’m pretty practiced at omitting ingredients and finding substitutes but when it comes to omitting the bacon or smoked pork I feel I’ve never managed to compensate for the lost flavor. This writer has some incredibly good ideas to work around that, and many of them too, and you won’t miss the ham one bit. I dont think she caters to any eating restriction too much- offering something for everyone and always great advice for dietary adaptations. Her substitution advice is the best I’ve ever seen, thorough, and you will certainly become a better life long cook learning from this author, not just picking up some good recipes. The last thing I’ll say about this book is that I love that she doesn’t have ton of recipes on how to “hide” beans by grinding them or mashing them. I have a lot of bean books, and for some reason many of them assume that may not like beans so you may have to sneak them into other foods like cookies or cheesecake. This book assumes you like beans me arent trying to fool anyone. Classic type of recipes where beans are the main focus. Review: Great recipes! - Great recipes and also an interesting book. The author is a vegetarian…I am NOT, but these recipes are great as written, with seasonings other than meat that give a whole new perspective. Good recipes, very well written! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #317,209 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #307 in Vegetable Cooking (Books) #454 in Cooking, Food & Wine Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (622) | | Dimensions | 8 x 1 x 9 inches | | Edition | 16323rd | | ISBN-10 | 0761132414 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0761132417 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 370 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2012 | | Publisher | Workman Pub Co | ## Images ![Bean by Bean: More Than 175 Recipes for Fresh Beans, Dried Beans, Cool Beans, Hot Beans, Savory Beans, even Sweet Beans! - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PfUxYp7lL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is all you really need to learn how to cook a huge variety of interesting beans *by S***E on March 7, 2022* The author has had a life long interest in Beans and it shows!

The author is a vegetarian…I am NOT, but these recipes are great as written, with seasonings other than meat that give a whole new perspective. Good recipes, very well written! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fantastic book for bean newbies and seasoned bean-lovers *by C***H on February 3, 2012* I've been cooking beans for 30 years because I've had to (they're cheap) and because I want to (I don't eat much meat, and I like their earthiness), and I know my way around a bean. Crescent Dragonwagon knocked me way far out of my usual orbit with her new book. Bean by Bean is full of great ideas for infusing beans with deep, satisfying, addictive flavor. I served the Syrian-Style Red Lentil Soup at an afternoon party, and a guest told me she stopped at the grocery on the way home to get the ingredients to make this soup for her family. Beans for company. Beans for both quick and slow dinners. Beans for dessert! I love this author's approach to ingredients: she grows many vegetables herself and shares information about beans as only a true gardener could. I love this author's approach with her reader: she wants to inspire, connect, and empower. After reading her thirteen (!) recipes for chili in this book, you will know for sure that she wants you to experiment beyond this book. In Bean by Bean, beans become a way to affirm how simple ingredients become a path of discovery and well-being. (Well bean! Ha!) I love this book. If you want to eat more beans, read this book. If you already eat a lot of beans, read this book!
