The Rancho Gordo Vegetarian Kitchen Collection, Volumes 1 & 2 (Steve Sando, Julia Newberry)

Both volumes of The Rancho Gordo Vegetarian Kitchen, packaged as a collectible set in an attractive slipcase. 

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

Because beans are the stars of the show, in both cookbooks, the recipes are organized by type of bean: white and light beans, medium-bodied beans, dark beans, and non-natives and grains. Throughout each book, you'll find simple, unfussy recipes for making the most of seasonal vegetables, Rancho Gordo products, and other pantry staples.
