From the Author
We can't believe we're still cooking CONSTANTLY from both Easy Beans and More Easy Beans. We have many favorites but a few of them are Tortilla Stack, Black Bean Brushettas, Tuscany Lentil Salad and Kidney Bean Asiago soup. We guess it keeps selling and selling because of the great variety of recipes - appetizers, soups, salads, side and main dishes.

About the Author
Trish Ross and Jacquie Trafford both enjoyed successful careers before turning their attention to bean cooking. For nearly fifteen years they have studied and researched the world of beans from preparation and nutritional aspects, to exploring unique recipes from around the world. Their first book, Easy Beans first hit the market in 1994 and has been reprinted many times. They decided to publish a second book because people wanted even more recipes, ones to include an even greater variety of beans and a wider range of Ingredients. The authors named it More Easy Beans! Since then a 2nd edition of Easy Beans with nutritional analysis and 20 more new recipes has been printed. They have made bean cookery a healthy choice for today's busy cook.

Customer Reviews

I never thought bean dishes could be this tasty
I have never been a bean lover but am a vegetarian. So when I discovered More Easy Beans and found so many great recipes, especially for appetizers, I was hooked. I truly believe this is the best bean book I have ever used. Some recipes call for meat, but of course, everyone has a friend who likes red meat. What I really found helpful was the recipes all use a can of beans or allow you to make the beans from scratch. All the recipes I have tried are right on with the cooking times. Other books I have used produce bean mush at the end. I highly recommend More Easy Beans.

Great recipes -- From the Exotic to the Everyday
Who knew beans were so versatile? This lively cookbook also provides a wealth of information on bean nutrition, varieties, preparation and availability. I consult it for exciting potluck appetizer recipes like creamy frijole dip and black bean tarts, exotic salads like white bean crab salad and adzuki fruit salad as well as everyday main courses such as chili (for which there are five variations) and wraps.

The recipes are usually quick, the directions are straightforward and the results are tasty and nutritious. This would be a great gift for the health conscious and vegetarians on your gift list!
