Title: Bean Cuisine – a culinary guide for the ecogourmet
Author: Beverly White
Publisher: Beacon Press, Boston
Publication date: 1977
Bought: Second-hand, but no idea where
Type: Ingredient-specific recipes
Pages: 144
Notes: This being an American book, the names for some of the types of bean differ to what we might expect in the UK, but usually both names are given.
Fabulously-named dishes: American Herbal Feast sounds as though it might not be too filling; Gentle Lentil Salad — have you ever met any aggressive lentils? No, me neither; Minnehaha baked beans. But there are a lot of very descriptive names in here.
Other useful information contained within: There’s a lot of useful information for people who are planning to use dried beans in their cookery, including how to soak them (and how long for), how to cook them in a pressure cooker and some tips for doing so if you don’t happen to have such an item available.
Where can I get a copy?: Plenty of copies available for not much money on Amazon
