Review
'Easy beans, the best bean cookbook has a wide variety of bean dishes that are easy to prepare and tasty.' -- Bob Spear, Heartland Reviews, March 2005 *****

Here's a question for you: Aside from the barbecue, what is the most plentiful consumable at a cook-off - beer or beans?

I'm not sure which one it is, but right now let's talk about beans. Almost every book on barbecue includes recipes for beans, but until now I'd not come across a book that focused solely on the beans. Now there is "Easy Beans: Fast and Delicious Bean, Pea and Lentil Recipes" by Trish Ross ($12.95, Big Bean Publishing, 146 pp.), which is as outstanding a collection of beans information as I think anyone will find. Ross offers chapters of recipes on Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Main Dishes and Vegetables and Side Dishes; over 100 in all. Plus she adds plenty of other useful information, such as a nutritional chart, discussion on the different types of beans and preparation tips and techniques. All in all, this is a book you'll want to have on your bookshelf. --Doug Mosley from the National Barbecue News, Douglas, GA

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!

PURCHASE THIS BOOK!
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.

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?!
