Book Reviews of 366 Delicious Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, and Grains
Book Review: A great place to start
Summary: 4 Stars
I really, really recommend this cookbook despite a couple small issues I have with it.
Good points- great for ideas and inspiration. When I sit down to do meal planning, this cookbook it always on the my table. It has so many good ideas in it that I never get bored.
A few issues though- I disagree with the ratios of ingredients in the recipes. For example, the couscous salad has way to much couscous and not enough tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, etc. This is not a big problem- I just change according to my tastes. I'm just a little surprised I have to do this with so many of the recipes. The bigger issue is the portion size for the nutritional information. The portions are *huge*. Somebody flipping through this cookbook might be turned off by the high calorie count, not realizing that most people could not come close to eating that big a portion.
I do plan to give this cookbook to several people for holiday gifts this year, so obviously the good points certainly outweigh my minor issues!
