About this course

Humans have been eating beans for thousands of years, with good reason. They are packed full of fibre, protein, and lots of other nutrients. On top of that they’re cheap and, once you know what you are doing, easy to make into tasty dishes.

If you’d like to get more beans in your diet, but are not sure how, this is the course for you.

Each week we’ll spotlight a different bean or pulse and help you to prepare them in different, delicious ways. From sauces to salads, chilli to crunchy snacks you’ll enjoy filling your tummy with gut friendly beans that not only taste delicious but are good for you too.

All of the recipes cooked on this course will be plant based however we’ll also be talking about how you can incorporate beans into meat based meals too.
