Product Description
From Booklist
By now, the most curious of home chefs are well-versed in the how-tos of whipping up cupfuls of amaranth, fava beans, and quinoa. Lest any cooking fan has been closeted in a dark pantry for five or more years, health food advocate Chesman educates and adds to the vegetarian repertoire. Many of the recipes represent rather innovative first-of-their-kind dishes or almost infinite (and unusual) variations on a standard. Rice pudding, for instance, gets at least six new faces (vanilla yogurt and pina colada are two options). And fans of Japanese sushi will find it far easier to emulate chirashi sushi (vegetable-topped vinegared rice) than the original oriental meal. Nutritional analysis and attention paid to low-fat ingredients make this less of a carbohydrate-stuffing party. Barbara Jacobs

Super book - demystifies beans and rice!,
By
This review is from: 366 Delicious Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, and Grains (Paperback)
I'm a returning student and eating out was one of the things I had to give up to survive on my smaller budget. This cookbook helps because I can make meals that I like better than most restaurant food with little fuss and cheap ingredients. The recipes are easy to follow and the introductory content helped me understand the basics of bean preparation so I don't have to rely on over-priced, high-sodium content canned beans!

This review is from: 366 Delicious Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, and Grains (Paperback)
I like a cookbook with pictures. It makes the recipe appetizing and gives a busy housekeeper ideas to serve a nice looking dish to the family. Sometimes an illustration also makes an unclear direction more understandable.

This review is from: 366 Delicious Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, and Grains (Paperback)
I'm very fond of this book. I received it only a month ago, but I've already made quite a few things out of it and have plans for more. I asked for it for Christmas because I'm a vegetarian and my three staples are listed right in the title.The pluses of this book: (1) It has recipes for just beans, just grains, or just rice (with different veggies and spices), as well as some for beans with beans and grains/rice. (2) The recipes don't often call for exotic or hard-to-find ingredients. (3) Many recipes are easily modified so as to use whatever beans, grains, or veggies you have on hand. (4) Each recipe includes nutritional information, listing things like calories, fats, and protein per serving. The one minus I have is perhaps the occasional need to add depth to dishes, especially the soups. Some recipes call for large amounts of water (not soup stock). Although flavour is added by vegetables, chilis, and spices, it sometimes isn't enough with all the water involved. The same can sometimes be said about some rice and bean dishes. But in those cases it's only a matter of adding whatever your favourite stock or spice is to the recipe.
