My Legume Love Affair - The Round-Up
They’re here! All 116 strong, and one of the most fantastic collections of creative and generous recipes I could ever be privileged to organize. Thank you all for your incredible participation. [Please contact me with any omissions or errors; I will correct them straight away.] The recipes have been generally categorized into sequential, typical courses, keeping in mind, though, that one person’s side dish may be another’s entrée. Heck, I’ve been known to make an entire meal out of appetizers alone.
I hope you find the arrangement helpful, but in navigating the various groupings, you will surely discover some amazing ideas and techniques not currently on your radar screens. Every single recipe is an avenue of delicious delight.
And for those pondering legumes’ natural proclivity to produce tummy complaints, here are some invaluable tips to include this important food group more often into our diets without too much grumbling.
Given how popular an event My Legume Love Affair has turned out to be, I will be running Volume II at some point in the spring. If the response to the next event proves as dramatic as this one, there is a possibility that I will run it on a monthly basis and include other food bloggers as guest hosts. These are decisions yet to be made with no particular timetable in mind. For now, let’s live and eat in the present!

Jeni – My vacation is just about over now. It’s taking me a week to answer all these sweet comments, a week to address all the other things that I sidelined while focusing on the round-up. Whew!

Lisa – Thanks. “Monsters are such interesting people…” : D
