Customer Reviews

Interesting... should have been tested first
This is a pretty good source of information regarding cooking with... well, beans and rice, enough that it's worth two stars. However, the editing is hideous, there were several moments when the recipe directions were unclear (many things are simply assumed) and overall it seemed as if none of the recipes were actually tested by Ms. Layton. If you are already familiar with cooking, especially cooking from scratch, this might be a good book to get, especially if you have time for "trial and error". If you are short on either time or experience, better look elsewhere.

Old Favorites Found New Recipes Enjoyed!
For the past five years I have been searching for good recipes that use beans, rice, or both together. When I got this recipe book I found an old favorite (that I lost) that uses rice, broccoli,mushrooms, chicken,and cream/mushroom soup. I will use brown basmati instead of white long grain now. I also found two or three very good recipes that use red, pinto, or black beans with rice. Over time beans and rice has become a family staple. . .this is an excellant recipe book. I would recommend this little recipe book to the beginner. . .very good on the "how- to's," and the essentials.

Great Recipe Book to have..
This is a great recipe book to have on hand. It has allot of information, and a large variety of recipes in it.
