Summary: Super book - demystifies beans and rice!
Review: I'm a returning student and eating out was one of the things I had to give up to survive on my smaller budget. This cookbook helps because I can make meals that I like better than most restaurant food with little fuss and cheap ingredients. The recipes are easy to follow and the introductory content helped me understand the basics of bean preparation so I don't have to rely on over-priced, high-sodium content canned beans!

Summary: Info on Beans
Review: Regarding the "fart" comment earlier - beans have fiber, which moves waste out, avoiding cancers and other intestinal problems. There is actually less gas if people eat enough fiber regularly. Most people don't, so that is what causes gas in the system.Combining beans and peas (also called legumes) with any kind of seed grain(whole wheat, rice, sesame, corn) results in complete protein. Adding a little dairy like yogurt to the mix, and you have all the possible amino acids. Peanuts, oddly, also are part of the legume family.

Summary: A great book
Review: There are many good bean books on the market, but this one is perhaps a cut above the rest. The recipes are easy, delicious, and plentiful. A great addition to your bean book collection, or the only one you'll want if you are creating one.
