 Not for Quick Lentils Jan 19, 2009
This review is only about the lentil recipes, which may or may not be your interest. When I bought Easy Beans, I was looking for varied ideas on cooking lentils, since they're healthy & quick: 20 minutes cooking. Easy Beans agrees in the overview on page 16, and then all but one of the lentil recipes take over 50 minutes. (Some bean recipes are faster, when they use canned beans.) Particularly disappointing when the subtitle promises "Fast...recipes." An alternative, Bean, Pea and Lentil Cookbook, is little better: most lentil recipes there take over 35 minutes.

tastes good Jun 07, 2008
Have tried a few recipes so far and they are nice. Only complaint is that "serves 4" really could be "serves 8", and some of the recipes would really only make enough food for two people to have dinner. Just pay attention to how much it calls for and then multiply or divide according to how much food you actually want to eat.

Great Bean Recipes May 26, 2008
A simple little book, no frills or pictures, but surprisingly useful. Divided into four main categories--soups, salads, entrees, and sides--each recipe features beans, peas, and/or lentils. Many of the recipes are vegetarian/vegan, as well as some good recipes incorporating meat. The recipes aren't fancy or gourmet, but they're easy to prepare, healthy, and above all, quite tasty. If the book had pictures and a few exciting/unusual recipes for balance, I would give it five stars. Recommended for:
--beginning cooks
--busy/time-pressed cooks
--anyone wanting or needing to incorporate more legumes into their diet

Easy Beans Apr 05, 2008
The recipes are very easy but I think maybe to simplistic. If you are not into cooking or not a good cook this is the book for you.

 Must love chili powder & green bell peppers Feb 27, 2008
If you like chili powder & green bell peppers you will like the main courses in this book. If you do not, I would find another cookbook.
