Whereas The Flavor Bible had 5 pages dedicated to all the
beans (notably black
beans, cannellini, fava, flageolet, green
beans, kidney, lima, navy, pinto, red, white) plus another page for chickpeas, The Vegetarian Flavor Bible has 15 pages for all the
beans (in addition to the above, it also
includes adzuki
beans, anasazi, cranberry / borlotti, fermented black
beans,
gigante, french green
beans, long
beans, mung
beans, soy
beans / edamame) and chickpeas have almost 2 pages now.
Meze selections — appetizers in Greek cuisine —
include mouthwatering enticers such as Grilled Mediterranean Octopus served with
gigante bean puree; addictive lightly fried Zucchini Chips accompanied by tzatziki; and Feta Sticks — feta cheese wrapped in phyllo dough, fried then drizzled with honey and sesame seeds.
