Bean By Bean: A Cookbook: More than 175 Recipes for Fresh Beans, Dried Beans, Cool Beans, Hot Beans, Savory Beans, Even Sweet Beans!

Has there ever been a more liberal fixing than the bean? Down-home, yet haute, soul-satisfyingly generous, esteemed, adaptable profoundly delightful, restorative, and reasonable for sure, there's nothing a bean can't do—and nothing that Crescent Dragonwagon can't do with beans. From old companions like chickpeas and pintos to rediscovered legacy beans like rattler beans and teparies, from green beans and new shell beans to peanuts, lentils, and peas, Bean by Bean is the authoritative cookbook on beans. It's a 175 or more formula cornucopia flooding with data, kitchen astuteness, legend, stories, and a zing for good food and great occasions.

Think about the lentil, to take one model. Find it first in a tasty slather, Lentil Tapenade. At that point in about six soups, including Sahadi's Lebanese Lentil Soup with Spinach, Kerala-Style Dahl, and Crescent's Very, Very Best Lentil, Mushroom and Barley Soup. It at that point turns up in Marinated Lentils De Puy with Greens, Baked Beets, Oranges and Walnuts. In addition there's Jamaica Jerk-Style Lentil-Vegetable Patties, Ethiopian Lentil Stew, and Lentil-Celeriac Skillet Sauce. Do likewise for dark beans—from Tex-Mex Frijoles Dip to Feijoada Vegetariana to Maya's Magic Black Beans with Eggplant and Royal Rice. Or on the other hand shell beans—Newly Minted Puree of Fresh Favas, Baked Limas with Rosy Sour Cream, Edamame in a Pod. Without any end in sight—from starters and soups to many courses. Indeed, even sweets: Peanut Butter Cup Brownies and Red Bean Ice Cream.

This is an outstanding reference book for any cook who wants to explore the World (literally) of bean cookery.I just love beans. And so I loved reading a book by someone who loves beans even more than I do. Some readers may find the author's writing, which weaves in literary references from Jacob and Esau to Jack and his beanstalk--even L.L. Bean makes at least two appearances--ponderous or wordy, but I was amused: Ms. Dragonwagon's excitement about all things bean and her extensive research just spill out all over the pages. If this is not your cup of tea, it's easy enough to skim over the background info and occasional outburst of poem or song and get straight to the many, diverse, recipes and valuable tips: there are plenty of recipes here for everyone. I wish I had this book two decades ago, when I started cooking up a batch of beans weekly and eating them for lunch almost daily (heated in the office microwave!). The book is an excellent reference for such questions as which varieties of beans need to be soaked overnight; how to quick-soak; how to use your slow cooker or pressure-cook beans; and even covers dehydrated beans. Most of the recipes call for canned beans, giving the cook the choice of whether to begin with dried beans.-Mary C.

Best speciality cookbook I've ever owned. Recipes are diverse and delicious. Ingredients are sometimes exotic--but so are the flavors on your plate! I live in a small community and have found most ingredients locally; for a few items I've located an easy substitute on google. I have purchased this book for three other people who have loved it. I have been using the recipes for almost a year and each one is a new feast--not a remodel. I generally like straightforward cookbooks--"the facts and nothing but the facts." But in "Bean By Bean" you can take or leave the stories and histories. The recipes themselves are clear and not overly complicated. This cookbook has put much needed pizzaz in our kitchen. A fabulous cookbook. -Marycontary

Lots and Lots of great recipes for every palate. My go to book when I'm in the mood to cook something new.Easy to read and follow every day ingredients with a great twist to keep your cooking repertoire fresh!-1000kissesdeep
