I'm not sure what I'd expected from a book as broadly titled as "Cooking with Beans," but it was something other than this. When I think about cooking with beans, I'm surely not thinking about cooking with meat cooking with beans, but evidently Ms. Jones is. A vegetarian recipe book this is NOT. When the first ingredient in a 4-bean casserole is a half pound of bacon, there's trouble brewing in this kitchen.I was interested in the garbanzo bean-based chocolate cake, but even here, the first ingredient isn't cacao or even cacao, but 2 cups (yet) of chocolate chips. I'm looking for more natural, healthier, wiser recipes than these. They don't seem to be in there, and I've deleted this book from my electronic library already.
