Every recipe I have tried in this book has been terrific....even the most bean-shy individual will have to admit that beans can be tasty. I didn't have a great deal of experience cooking with beans and lentils, so I appreciated the cooking method section. I can honestly say that this is the best cookbook I have ever bought. Jill Frame (Indianapolis, IN, USA) A true legume lover's delight Now in a new and expanded second edition, Easy Beans: Fast And Delicious Bean, Pea, And Lentil Recipes has been enhanced with nutritional analysis and more than twenty new and delicious recipes. From Seafood Minestrone; Tapenade Baguette; and Texas Chicken Salad; to Quick Spicy Sausage Stew; Bean Counter's Medley; and Caribbean Rice, Easy Beans is a true legume lover's delight and a welcome addition to any kitchen cookbook collection! Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI, USA) Beans in California I have a bookcase full of cookery books, BUT, "Easy Beans" and "More Easy Beans" are two of my top favorites. All the recipes I have tried are delicious, and best of all for a busy professional, quick and easy to make when I come home tired at the end of the day. As an MD interested in nutrition, I can heartily recommend the recipes in these books for the good of your heart. Well done, authors! anonymous EASY BEANS - The best bean/pea/lentil cookbook ever! This wonderful book took all the mystery out of cooking with all types of beans, peas and lentils. The recipes are versatile, nutritious and extremely simple to prepare. The authors' blurb at the beginning of each recipe is informative and quite often humourous. The Leek & Lentil Soup (page 28) has now become a weekly favourite of both my family and co-workers!! And as a final added bonus, the binding lies flat on the counter for easy reading while cooking. What more could a busy chef ask for?! Kim Gillis (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) Thank-you, Easy Beans and More... As a fairly recently converted Vegetarian, I was thrilled to discover "Easy Beans", then, joy!!! "More Easy Beans". These 2 have become my most-used EVER cook books. I have wowed family and friends with various soups, dips, casseroles, chilis, etc. etc. etc. Thank-you so much. More More Beans please. L Stevens (Vancouver, BC, Canada) Best bean book in America I love beans but I didnt know how to cook them.I couldnt believe how easy it is to prepare them until I read this book. The section "Getting Started" explains everything simply. I had never heard of the quick soak---talk about FAST or you can use a can instead of starting from scratch which is great for when I get home from work. I recommend the MOROCCAN CHICKEN on page 75. It has been the hit of more college potlucks. Lots of recipes for vegetarians and the authors obviously love black beans---lots of recipes for them. Alan Penfold (Kamloops, B.C., Canada) "What a great cookbook. Easy is right. Fast is right." I have a lot of cookbooks, so I am choosy about which new ones I will buy. Yours jumped out and grabbed me." R.H. (Victoria, BC, Canada) "Your Easy Beans recipe book is one "Fa-bean-ulous" book!!" F.T.G (Orleans, Ontario, Canada) "It de-mystified the legume for me... and thanks to your deliciously easy recipes, I have been able to slowly introduce real beans to my family, and boy, do I feel better for it." K.G. (Scarborough, Ontario, Canada) Response from the Media: THE SUPREME BEAN There is growing evidence that a diet rich in beans is associated with good health. Beans are low in fat, high in fiber, packed with important nutrients and protective plant chemicals. Including them in your diet is easier than ever with Easy Beans by Trish Ross. Updated from the original bestseller published in 1994, the book is a collection of more than 100 fast, healthy and great-tasting recipes. You'll find appetizers, soups, salads and appealing main dishes as well as lots of nutritional information, cookingtips and practical ways to make beans a staple in your diet. - Canadian Living I own several bean specialty cookbooks and I must say this is the best in terms of ingredient availability, flexibility of recipes, and tastefulness. There is a nice variety of bean dishes. They are practical, easy to prepare, and palate pleasing. It is well organized, and the author speaks directly to the reader in a pleasant way. With the cost of animal protein sure to go up with the rising oil prices, beans are an excellent protein substitute. This should be in everyone’s cookbook library. We rated it five hearts for both its usefulness and its practicality. - Bob Spear, Publisher and Chief Reviewer, Heartland Reviews "This is a witty, literate and very down to earth guide to all things beanish. Recipes run the gamut from minestrone and lentil soups to chili, tabouli, curries, quiche and cassoulet. The selection is pleasingly inclusive with mainly, though not entirely, vegetarian offerings." - Tim Pawsey, Vancouver Courier "Very well laid out and good looking cookbook. You should be proud of yourselves. The black bean and rice salad looks beautiful and is wonderful." - Vicki Gabereau, CBC National Radio Show "Amusing, easy to read book... A welcome addition to any kitchen." - Victoria Times "Easy Beans is a book for the 'bean challenged' cook. Each recipe has notes on such things as cooking hints and serving suggestions. Good book to get to start trying bean cookery." - Kamloops News "Easy Beans is full of great recipes... We need more bean recipes, especially in this day where so many people are watching their health" - Nancy Edwards, The Daily News, Longview, WA "Easy Beans...is a paperback collection of more than 100 bean, pea and lentil recipes that not only look and taste great, but are also very healthy additions to your recipe file." - Susan Lockhart, Northern Wyoming Daily News "Consider the humble bean. This worthy cookbook is full of bean recipes that are easy to cook and serve." - Seattle Times
