Editorial Reviews:
Andrea Chesman presents 366 creative and flavorful "natural gourmet" recipes using a wide variety of beans and grains, like basmati and jasmine rice, adzuki beans, amaranth, and quinoa. Organized by course and main ingredient, these dishes range from light and lively starters to hearty and soul-satisfying foods that stick to your ribs but not to your waistline. American favorites are well represented here, but adventurous cooks will be pleased to find ethnic cuisines dominating this mouthwatering collection, including such recipes as: * Spicy Vegetable Couscous * Pesto Pasta with Cranberry Beans * Smoky Black Bean Burritos * Jamaican-Style Rice and Peas This wonderful addition to our 366 Ways series features foods that are among the most versatile and healthful in the human diet, not to mention absolutely delicious. * Recipes are high in flavor, low in fat. * Each recipe includes a detailed nutritional analysis, which counts calories, fat, percentage of calories from fat, protein, fiber, sodium, and calcium. * Vegetarian dishes dominate the collection, but healthful variations include salmon, shrimp, and chicken.

Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: ho-hum Comment: The recipes are mostly healthy, but they're repetitive and uninspired. If I had looked at this book in a bookstore, I never would've bought it. Customer Rating: Summary: Not well organized Comment: This book is not a wower, but, it's ok. Make sure you read the recipes before going to the grocery store; you'll need to find different ingredients that I would bet is not in the average kitchen. Customer Rating: Summary: Nothing interesting Comment: This book was a real disappointment. There was a number of fringe ethnic dishes with poor taste appeal. Too many of the same types of recipes. Don't waste your time! Customer Rating: Summary: 366 Delicious Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, and Grains Comment: A very good, detailed book using these items. Perfect for when using emergency supplies. Lots of color pictures and easy recipes. Customer Rating: Summary: very thorough Comment: This book had great reviews. It is thorough. I haven't tried recipes yet but it's a great book.
