THE BENEVOLENT BEAN

by Ancel & Margaret Keys ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 23, 1967

The Keys are nutritionists and sponsor the salubrious virtues of the bean, indicating their low calorie, high protein, low fat value with each recipe. Their cookbook ranges from peasant to haute cuisine, features the bean in main and side dishes, sometimes in collaboration with meat and fish ....Bennett, former Maitre D' at the Mark Hopkins, offers a more complete book as promised (450 recipes) and while the recipes are international in origin, a good many of them are more plebeian. Beans, basically, are ""the poor man's meat"" and he extends their usefulness to dips and even a few desserts....Two books sprouting in one season seems gratuitous and we question whether there are going to be all these poverty suppers in the age of affluence.
