Beans are considered a basic staple in most kitchen cupboards, yet these humble foodstuffs have a very long history: there is evidence that beans have been eaten for 9,000 years. Whether dried, frozen or canned, beans have substantial nutritional and environmental benefits, and can easily be made into a wholesome, satisfying meal. From garbanzos to lentils, and from favas to soybeans, Beans: A Global History narrates the rich story of these small yet mighty edibles. 

Featuring historic and modern recipes that celebrate the wide variety of bean cuisines, this book chimes with the modern trend for healthy eating, and takes readers on a vivid journey through the gastronomical, botanical, cultural and political history of beans.

Industry Reviews

"Beans is the history you never knew you needed. It's thorough, a little gossipy, and a lot of fun. Many people have taken beans for granted but Morris gives them a deservedly royal treatment, and I imagine it would be hard not to find a passion for your legumes after reading this loving tribute."--Steve Sando, founder of Rancho Gordo and coauthor of Heirloom Beans
