About the Great Vegan Bean Book
With some of the coolest names ever—cannellini, cava, calypso—beans may just be nature’s perfect food. Packed with protein and with little or no fat, inexpensive and cruelty-free, tasty and with endless varieties, they’re also a vegan’s best friend. But what do you do with the heirloom beans you picked up at the market? How do you turn such a basic, simple food staple into exciting snacks and meals? The new book THE GREAT VEGAN BEAN BOOK [Fair Winds Press, July 2013] by Kathy Hester, spells it all out for you. It truly spills the beans on the versatile legume—from soaking times and cooking times, to what to purée and what to sauté. Not only that, but you’ll also get to try your hand at some of the tastiest, most innovative bean recipes in this lentil-filled land. From beanalicious burritos, to pretty-pea curry, to legume-laced blondies, you’ll be partying protein-style every meal of the day. Over 100 other easy recipes also include:
- Lemon Coconut Chickpea Muffins
- White Bean Gazpacho with Salsa Fresca
- Baked Arugula and Bean Flautas
- Solstice Beans with Pumpkin and Greens
- Inside-Out Enchilada Casserole
- Black-Eyed Pea Peanut Butter Pie
All recipes are vegan, and many are also soy- and gluten-free. Chapters include bean basics, breakfast and brunch recipes, snacks, soups and salads, on-the-go meals, lunch, dinner, and delicious and healthy bean-based desserts.
