Description: No longer the sustenance of vegetarians only, beans are the new best friend of every American who has recognized that they can be as zesty and exciting as they are nutritious and earthy. Beans are low in fat, loaded with protein, and are an excellent replacement for meat for the great taste and texture they provide. They are also a fabulous complement to meat for nonvegetarians. Beans are flexible, too: They can be everyday staples or the stars of sophisticated meals. In Full of Beans, Brooke Dojny provides 75 recipes to delight legume lovers as well as anyone else who appreciates a good meal. American classics include Low Country Hoppin' John, Burgundy Street Red Beans 'n' Rice, and Classic Texas Pot Beans with Pico de Gallo.
