Customer Reviews

Delightful, adaptable and TASTY!

I happened upon this book at a promotion in my local bookstore. Since my husband is a bean-a-holic, and the sample recipes the author had prepared were delicious, I decided to buy it. I've made half a dozen of the recipes so far, and I've been delighted with every one. I note that another reviewer complains that the recipes call for dry beans... well, you CAN use canned if necessary. And although Ms. Green tells you which sort of pots, etc, would be ideal, you can certainly use whatever cookware you have on hand. The black turtle bean pate with tequila is divine. I tasted Aliza Green's version at the book signing and promptly tried to make my own. Mine was *almost as good and was gobbled up by my guests... I *will try again! I hope you'll consider this book if you love beans and other legumes. It's a delight. And many recipes are vegetarian or have a vegetarian option, for those who don't eat meat. Enjoy, and as Ms. Green signed in my copy - Bean Appetit!
