Imagine fabulous bean recipes like 'Romano Bean Stew,' 'Buttered Beans with Red Peppers,' and 'Massimo's Shrimp and Beans.' These recipes are inventive, nutritious, and above all mouthwatering. The appealing variety of recipes could have you eating legumes every night. In Beans, Lentil and Tofu Gourmet you will also find appetizing lentil recipes like, 'Lentil with Saffron Scented Meat' and 'Lentil Soup Italian Style.' Any qualms you may have ever had about tofu, will be dispelled with these tofu recipes. 'Pea Tops with Pancetta' and 'Tofu, Braised Roasted Pork with Tofu and Green Onions,' and 'Curry Fried Tofu Soup with Vegetables and Udon Noodles' are recipes that are sure to please even the most tofu resistant palette.

Beans, Lentil and Tofu Gourmet offers more than 125 great recipes in combination with preparation hints , nutritional information and analysis. Legumes are the foundation of a sound, healthy diet. The USDA has pronounced soy (the basis for tofu) one of the healthiest foods currently available.

From the Editors of Robert Rose comes this collection of imaginative and delicious legume recipes. We bring you good health and great food.
