How To Break In as a Mystery Shopper by Richard O. Mann Ever want to work as mystery shopper? Let a veteran of over 500 secret shops explain how you find shopping companies, sign up, and get assignments. Get paid to eat out, stay in hotels, and shop in almost every kind of store. It's fun! This no-nonsense, level-headed guide spells out the process for you. (This immediately downloadable e-book written by your friendly Bean Bible editor, Rich Mann, is part of the dynamite Dream Jobs To Go series.)
A Recipe by Richard Mann This is my personal chili recipe that I've been making for over 30 years. We served it at a church Christmas party last night. (We made a 16-recipe batch!) We got many, many raves and dozens of requests for the recipe, so I'm posting here for all to see. Check it out.
A Recipe by Linda Miller Here's a great Halloween recipe for a simple hand- and tummy-warming chili. In keeping with the season, it uses some slightly unusual ingredients, such as eye of newt and pureed wasp . (If you don't normally stock those sorts of things, we have some suggestions as to acceptable substitutes that you're more likely to have on hand.) It's all in good fun, so click on through and have a look at this whimsical recipe, which actually makes an interesting version of standard chili that uses pearl barley and celery.
A Recipe by Don Holt Don Holt, a long-time Cincinnati chili lover and cook, shares his unusual recipe for pork chili made with butternut squash, several kinds of beans, corn, and (shhh! this is secret...) chocolate and cinnamon. The next time the right kind of pork is on sale, I know what I'll be cooking! (Don will be back with the story of the regular Cincinnati Chili in the near future; stay tuned.)
A Recipe by Richard Mann Cincinnati Five-Way Chili is a traditional dish from that particular part of Ohio (and thus, this counts as one of our "50 States of Beans" entries--more about that in days to come). The "five ways" in the name mean that it has pasta, chili, cheese, onions, and beans. Come read about this interesting Ohio chili.

The Bean Book Roy F. Guste, Jr., former proprietor of Antoine's Restaurant in New Orleans and noted cookbook author, has put together this wonderful collection of recipes for bean dishes from around the world. Everything you can imagine is in here; the variety of recipes is amazing. It includes "light" versions and a full nutritional analysis of each recipe. How does Bourbon and Black Bean Pie sound? Highly recommended by Bean Bible!
Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook: Feasting with your Slow Cooker We usually feature bean cookbooks here, but this superb slow cooker (crock pot) cookbook has at least a hundred great bean recipes in it! My wife brought it home and I'm sold on it. The "Bean Main Dishes" section alone has 53 recipes. Recipes are short, simple, tasty, and don't use weird ingredients that you don't already have. And, while I'm excited about the bean recipes (the Sausage Bean Quickie will be the first one we try), the rest of the recipes also look wonderful. The cover says it's a "National #1 bestselling cookbook!" I believe it. Highly recommended by Bean Bible!
