The Bean Cookbook: Creative Recipes for Every Meal of the Day

The Bean Cookbook presents 100 vegetarian recipes featuring beans and legumes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. The book includes stunning photography on every other page and covers a wide variety of pulses, from common varieties like black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, red lentils, split peas, and chickpeas to less common types such as adzuki beans, mung beans, scarlet runners, and pigeon peas. Vegan options are included throughout, along with suggestions for substituting one pulse for another in recipes. Beans, chickpeas, dried peas, and lentils are shelf-stable, economical, and nutritious, providing protein, fiber, and micronutrients. Drawing on culinary traditions from around the world, author Tami Hardeman offers recipes that range from Curried Mungo Bean Avocado Toast and White Bean Coconut Curry to Flourless Black Bean Brownies. The dishes are designed to be easy to make, high in protein, affordable, and flavorful.
