Bean Cuisine

Beans! It's the answer to the riddle, "what's highly nutritious, inexpensive, satisfying, delicious, and easy to cook?" Putting more beans on the table provides fabulous opportunities for shifting our eating in healthier directions.

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we're ladling up three soups that showcase beans in one of their best roles - in hearty wintertime soups. Cooking beans is easier than you think. We show you several methods including a reintroduction to the magic of pressure cooking. Plus, answers to key bean questions!

Kevin Black, Chef - Blacksmith BBQ, Marietta

Kevin wanted to call this class "An Aphrodisiac Tasting", but because we like to guarantee that all of our recipes will work, we just couldn't do it. Tapas is Spanish for small bites.
