There are at least a few beans recipes for everyone in this book, and for me there were so many I wanted to try that I decided to buy it after having it for weeks from the library. The recipes are very diverse, some with meat, some without, some with veggies, some without.
Even desserts, which I don't think I'll ever try but who knows? I've already changed my mashed potatoes recipe to a mashed white bean / potatoes recipe from this cookbook because I loved it. I'd never had bet on that.

For anyone who wishes to eat healthier, who would like to eat beans in delicious meals (including breakfast!), for those want to save some money and still eat well, and for the experienced as well as beginner (me!) cook.
The book is beautifully illustrated with easy to follow directions.

Why call a book devoted to grain-based recipes "Spilling the Beans"? Recipes were what you'd expect to find.
A good book but not enough stand-out recipes and many, many variations on recipes you've seen 100 other places. If I wanted to "sneak" legumes into more of my baking I would probably be more interested.
"Beans, beans...are good for your heart..." T.B.A. :D
Nice salads and hot side dishes.
