The Great Vegan Bean Book
Earlier this week, I’d posted a recipe for an Indian Chickpea Yogurt Salad from the new cookbook by Kathy Hester: The Great Vegan Bean Book. This book is full of lots of terrific recipes using different kinds of beans in innovative and delicious combinations. When Kathy put the word out for bloggers to help her by making recipes from the book, I was sure to join in, as I’d had a chance to see how creative and interesting these are. The recipes are vegan, with accommodation for soy-free diets and other options for adjusting them to fit more specialized tastes.
It’s really the range of recipes and the variety of tastes that makes this book a great meat-free protein guide. I have one copy from the publisher to give away to a reader on this site. This is a terrific resource for anyone who would like to broaden his or her diet to include more plant-based, animal-friendly foods.
The Rules (There have to be some of these, you know.)

I do not share these addresses with anyone, and they are only for the purpose of entering this giveaway.

Buon appetito!
