About the book.
Following the Sunday Times bestselling Bold Beans: Recipes to Get Your Pulse Racing, chef and Bold Bean Co founder Amelia Christie-Miller returns with her much-anticipated second cookbook: Full of Beans.

Organised by types of beans, including butter beans, chickpeas and red kidney beans, recipes range from quick, satisfying lunches and weeknight dinners, through to showstopping feasts, all centred around beans. There are warming autumnal dishes such as Sausage and butter bean stew; Nduja beans with mozzarella and hot honey; and Sweet potato and peanut butter curry. Salads and soups include Black bean makhani with kachumber and a cosy chicken and white bean soup, as well as satisfying lunch ideas like Cheesy marmite beans on toast with pickled shallots. Showcasing how versatile and exciting beans can be, the book also includes double page spreads on traybakes and their ‘beanottos’ - where beans are used in replacement of rice. On a mission “to make you obsessed with beans, by giving you the best of beans”, Amelia founded Bold Bean Co aged just 27 in response to society’s food system issues. Beans, with their millions of varieties, can nourish growing populations as they’re packed with fibre and vitamins; they keep soils healthy as the crops are natural fertilisers that fix nitrogen in the earth; and they’re the original plant protein, making beans the most natural meat replacement there is. In line with her ambition to create resilient food systems for a more secure future, her recipes showcase their versatility and encourage more people to eat beans.

Amelia says: "The response to our first cookbook was about transformation. People were telling us how the book changed their entire relationship with beans, how it became an essential part of their journey toward more sustainable eating. They were gifting it to friends and family, converting the bean sceptics in their lives. That's when I knew we'd achieved something bigger than a cookbook - we'd created a movement. FULL OF BEANS continues that mission, giving people even more ways to see beans as the exciting, delicious solution to eating well for both our health and our planet."

‘Beans are quite simply one of the best foods you can eat, so get stuck in!’
