Beans & Rice (Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Library);

Hardcover 1994 book that looks like new rather than as listed. It is more than a bean and rice book. The spine is tight, pages clean and no markings, no tears. Total 108 pages with colorful front board and rear plus interior colorful pages. Recipes by Joanne Weir. The contents of this book include introduction to equipment; bean basics which tell the types of beans, how to prepare each; rice basics and basic recipes. Some recipes include: black bean salad with peppers and corn; soups & salads, main courses and side dishes; beef and rice cabbage rolls; Boston baked beans; three bean vegetarian chili; Hummus; Wildrice and mushroom soup; mixed bean salad with Balsamic Dressing; vegetable stock, chicken stock, tomato sauce, beef, veal or lamb stock, garlic mayonnaise, shellfish paellla, Brown rice Tabboulech and so much more. There is one indent imprint on the back of the board about half inch, under the first picture of the Minestrone with Pesto dish that you can see by holding up to a bright light. These are easy to make recipes with full page, full color photographs that shows how the finished dish will look. Some of these recipes would make Olive Garden jealous. A got to have cookbook for person who wants to be the best cook! Price is a great one too!
