Basic Cookbook, 2008-07-17
For anyone who puts food by, this cookbook is valuable. Beans, etc. store easily on the pantry shelf. This book illustrates ideas for cooking with those beans to vary the diet.
Don't judge this book by the cover., 2008-03-08
I saw this book out of the corner of my eye in the coffee table section of my local library. I'd just purchased several pounds of heirloom beans to make a chili recipe that turned out great. I'm cutting back on red meat so I was looking for a bean and grain cookbook to use up all those beans if nothing else. I checked out COOKING WITH BEANS,GRAINS, PULSES AND LEGUMES (CWBGP&L).
In addition to the lengthy title there are 53 more descriptive words of what you'll find inside on he cover of CWBGP&L. If that's not enough to sell you there are also 9 photos of various foodstuffs. This book was published in the UK. Maybe this is the way they do cookbook covers. In the US we generally thumb through books on subjects we're interested in or read reviews on Amazon.
Other than the cover which isn't very important in the total scheme of things, what's inside the book is outstanding.The photography is wonderful. It makes you want to try every recipe.There are 37 pages devoted to descriptions of all types of beans, grains, seeds, pasta, flour and noodles. You get everything from history to preventing flatulence! The recipes, like most cookbooks are divided into chapters for breakfast, appetizers, soups, salads, meat, bread, deserts, etc. CWBGP&L has 185 recipes. They cover a wide variety of ethnic dishes and cooking styles. You get everything from a very basic Jamaican Rice & Peas to more elaborate dishes like Buckwheat Noodles with Smoked Trout.
I'm not an expert cook. I found the recipes that I've tried so far to be doable for the average cook. If you don't have a large health food store nearby finding some of the beans, grains and other stuff could be a challenge. However, an internet search will find a vendor for all your recipe needs.
If you are looking for healthy, hearty, and fun recipes I recommend COOKING WITH BEANS,GRAINS, PULSES AND LEGUMES.
