      This recipe idea is great but proportions in the cookbook are all wrong - see notes (and pictures of what it's supposed to look like) in this blog post - we followed this blogger's feedback (way less millet, mash some of the beans, way more sweet potatoes) and it turned out great. http://tastespace.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/candle-cafes-paradise-casserole-with-black-beans-millet-and-cinnamon-miso-sweet-potato-mash/
