This encyclopedic guide to the many varieties of dried beans includes information on the history and culture of beans as a food source as well as giving details on harvesting and storing the bean... This description may be from another edition of this product.
An absolutely delightful book! If you are looking for something MORE than just bean recipes, if beans stir within you curiosity and adventure, you've come to the right place! The author devotes the first third of the book giving a history lesson, a botany lesson, an anthropology lesson, and even throws in some gorgeous photography. Of BEANS! And there are some mouth-watering recipes, too. I'm so glad I bought this book!
Great Stuff

The most detailed book on beans I have seen, from history, to growing, to cooking. Lovely detail in the book, the photos are magnificent, and the recipes are excellent too. Would like to have seen the temperatures used, in Celcius as well as Fareheit.
