  Note on the Chickpea, Peanut butter, Squash curry - delicious made exactly as is, soo moreish and hard not to eat it all. Rich and autumnal. Used squash but sweet potato would work fine.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Tomato soup with cheesy butter beans

  • katmagdunn on May 12, 2026

    This was really straight forward and a truly great tomato soup. The chilli kick is perfect and don’t skip the crispy butter beans

• One-pan chickpea, roasted grape + caramelised carrot with baked feta

  • katmagdunn on March 05, 2026

    This was delicious — both day of and the following day!!

• Borlotti beans con le sarde

  • saladdays on February 06, 2026

    Cooked this with chickpeas, the suggested alternative. It was delicious and will definitely be on my repeat list.à A

• Cacio e pepe borlotti beans

  • Bessp on March 12, 2026

    This ended up extremely salty, I'm not exactly sure why as I didn't add any extra. I made it with butter beans, because it's what I could find. I also added some crispy mild Italian sausage (which was not especially salty, I checked) on top for extra protein. It tasted very good, but the salt got a little overwhelming after the first few bites. If I make this again, I will drain and rinse the beans and perhaps use less cheese and more lemon.

• Carlin pea chaat

  • valderaa on March 02, 2026

    I made the green chutney, which was easy and delicious, and then served my RG beans and sauteed broccoli rabe with the accompaniments. I forgot to add the seasonings to the beans. I will do that next time but this was already full of flavor and texture. Will definitely make again.

• Crispy baked halloumi, carlin pea + orange salad

  • katmagdunn on March 08, 2026

    This is really nice but do make sure you season quite heavily; I used romaine since it’s all I had but some lightly roasted kale would have been ideal

• Chipotle red kidney beans + baked feta traybake

  • alex_oz7xpq on March 28, 2026

    Delicious, I added some leftover roasted tomatoes and served with avo and lime and yoghurt. Will make again

• 'Nduja beans, mozzarella + hot honey

  • gootenbeez on May 22, 2026

    This was a delicious. Had to substitute cannelli beans. I loved the bites of nduja and melted cheese. I'd add more kale next time. Maybe even make a double batch. The hot honey was a nice touch.

    Rave reviews from all who ate it. The combo of flavors is outstanding. Used Rancho Gordo Flora de Junio red beans.

• Cherry tomato, anchovy + white bean gratin

  • Alisonk on January 08, 2026

    This was delicious and perfect for a cold winter evening, I used a mix of white beans that I soaked then pressure cooked the day before, the anchovies add a lovely touch of seasoning

• Cold sesame black bean noodles

  • katmagdunn on May 28, 2026

    Really good — a standard idea but the black beans do add something. Adaptable to the veg you have, I used avocado, tomatoes and broccolini
