Rancho Gordo's Steve Sando and Julia Newberry share their recipes and secrets for foolproof mostly bean-based vegetarian cooking with over 60 recipes, plus tips and ideas to inspire you in your kitchen. 

Because beans are the stars of the show, the recipes are organized by type of bean: white and light beans, medium-bodied beans, dark beans, and non-natives and grains. In each chapter, you'll find simple, unfussy recipes like Fennel, Potato and White Bean Soup; Christmas Lima Bean and Roasted Cauliflower Salad; and Chili sin Carne.

The Rancho Gordo Vegetarian Kitchen, Volumes 1 and 2, are available individually or as a set in a slipcase. (The slipcase is not available as a stand-alone item.)

Hardbound, 160 pages with lavish photographs.
Published December 2017.

 

"Whether you're a strict vegetarian, someone looking to cut back on meat, or simply a fan of great, generous everyday food, The Rancho Gordo Vegetarian Kitchen is for you."

Thank you for a wonderful book

I purchased this book for a family member as I thought I had a sufficient collection of bean recipes. I perused this book prior to gifting, it was filled with so many tips and ideas I am now ordering one to add to my own cookbook collection.

Beautiful book

Fantastic recipes with a wide range of beans and a variety of different flavoured broths, stews, ragouts or dressings for salads.

The magic beans really are the star of show here - the ideas help you make them shine.

The RG Vegetarian Kitchen Cookbook

Just got this lovely book today, been reading it and markinig pages. What a game changer for me. I love beans, in any form, but am a bit new to the game so been searching for more recipes to add variety to our vegan menus. And boy is this book a treasure! The recipes are clear, with easily acquired ingredient (except pineapple vinegar! :)) Will be working through every recipe for the delicious variety and savory new tastes. Just love it.

Simple~Beautiful~Informative!

Beans and meat just seem to go together in many cookbooks and for a vegan, that's not great. I am thrilled to report that although this book is labeled "vegetarian," 85% of the recipes fit into a vegan or whole food plant based way of eating!
The book is broken down well into basic instructions, bean recipes (3 categories), and extra broth and condiment recipes. There are also some great intuitive "quick ideas."
I can't wait to try these out with my big bean and posole purchase!

The Rancho Gordo Story

You Can Blame it All on the Dutch

I was shopping one August for tomatoes and, despite Napa being one of the world's most magnificent agricultural regions, all the tomatoes were from a hothouse in Holland! Worse, they were hard and pale pink instead of the ripe tomatoes I was craving. I started to grow my own tomatoes and this eventually led to beans.

My first harvested heirloom bean was Rio Zape. They were pretty and easy to grow but I had no idea what to expect when I cooked them. They were similar to the pintos I liked but there was so much more going on. Hints of chocolate and coffee mixed with an earthy texture made my head spin. I was blown away by Rio Zape and the other heirloom beans I was growing, but also really confused why they were such a big secret. I took the beans to the farmers market, organizing things on my kitchen table. Soon there was a warehouse, followed by more markets and mail order. It seems we had struck a nerve. People agreed that heirloom beans were worth saving, growing and cooking. Currently our warehouse, a retail shop, and offices are in Napa, California, and a stop here is part of many tours of the wine country. 

All of my agricultural pursuits have been based on being someone who likes to cook but gets frustrated by the lack of ingredients, especially those that are native to the Americas. One of the things that originally drew me to beans was the fact that they are indigenous to the Americas. It seems to me these indigenous ingredients should be familiar, if not common. American cuisine is re-inventing itself and I'd love to include ingredients, traditions and recipes from north and south of the border as part of the equation. I love the concept of The Americas. I feel as if it's just as important as the European heritage many of us share.
