The Bean Bible: A Legumaniac's Guide to Lentils, Peas, and Every Edible Bean on the Planet! | 
pick4/5⭐ Very comprehensive. Every recipe starts with a brief description of the dish or often of the author's experience with those particular ingredients, solidifying her expertise & bringing a wonderful personal spin. The book is peppered with interesting facts, historical tidbits, & alternative methods. My only two criticisms are that some of the tidbits are overlaid with graphics, making them difficult to read, & the lack of recipe photos.
