Bold Beans: recipes to get your pulse racing

Great recipes. Most of them are vegetarian, but a certain amount (20%) are meat and seafood based.

We have been really enjoying this book, exploring different kinds of bean recipes. The recipes are really easy to follow and beautifully photographed. At least one of my friends has bought the book based on pictures of food we created following Bold Beans.

This cookbook is full of bean cooking wisdom and great, different & interesting recipies.

I like that the aren't just one cuisine and that they all look easy to prepare. It's been kind of hot here so I tried the recipe for the beans with ricotta and hazelnut pesto. It was really good. Will be trying more recipes when it cools off.

I’ve always been a bean lover but after seeing some of these recipes on Instagram I had to buy this book. At first glance some of the recipes appear meh but after having made them I can assure you they are anything but. Every recipe I’ve tried I’ve absolutely loved. This book takes beans to the next level and I will be recommending it to everyone I meet. The recipes are super unique but also incredibly accessible and delicious.

I freely admit to being a fan of the products, won’t use any other beans now, so when the recipe book came out I was really keen to cook from it and had my fingers firmly crossed that it would deliver. And I needn’t have worried . Alluring recipes, not off putting in their complexity and just reading them let alone cooking them made me drool. They deliver in every way - accessible, sensible instructions- with substitute suggestions for not using Bold Beans - which I felt was very noble of the author, and beautifully illustrated. Nothing faffy, just reliable, delicious recipes that encourage anyone to cook. Faultless

This is a book full of recipes that I found accessible, lots of very appetising meals and with beans at the heart it helps form part of a varied and healthy diet. I have already recommended it to a number of friends.

I'm a cookbook obsessive and can honestly say that I LOVE this book. Usually I flick through a new cookbook and earmark the standout recipes that I want to try first. With Bold Beans I quickly gave up on this because I wanted to make them all. I started simple with the Crispy Garlic Roasted Butter Beans and have been steadily ticking off the rest of the book since. All of the recipes read well and are super easy to follow. Next up for me is the Persian-Style Herby Chickpeas. Or the Kimchi + Black Bean Quesadillas. Or, or, or.....The photos are beautiful and the book itself feels well made.Buy this book. You won't regret it.

I haven't as yet cooked anything from the book. I bought one of the mentioned bean products from a store and it certainly tasted different to the Italian tinned beans I normally buy. Looking forward to cooking some of the recipes when I get the time to decide what I want to try.
