Thank you for your kind review! Honestly, we’re so pleased you’re enjoying the variety of recipes and finding the tips and swaps helpful – it’s great to hear they’re making a difference in your cooking.
“This is the 3rd book I've bought as a present because i think the recipes are brilliant. As someone who is trying to become vegetarian and have a healthier diet the bean recipes have been really helpful as they're cheap and easy to cook and tasty and filling too.”
Wow! Thank you so much. We’re incredibly touched that you’ve gifted the book not once, but three times! That’s SUCH a compliment. It’s amazing to hear the recipes have been helpful on your journey toward a more veggie diet. That’s exactly what we set out to do: make beans feel exciting + totally satisfying. So glad you’re finding the recipes a joy. Thanks again for all the love and support!
“Some very interesting recipes but, as yet, tried only a few. Have enjoyed those we have.
I assume most recipes are suitable for freezing if batch cooking- other than the obvious… but any advice on storage , including freezing, would be helpful .”
Hi David! SO glad you're enjoying the recipes - that's great to hear. Our content team work so hard to keep brilliant, delicious but simple recipes regularly coming out, so its great to hear they are being appreciated. And yes! You can store opened jars in the fridge for 3 days - however, if this is too quick you can definitely freeze your beans! I recommend defrosting your beans in the fridge - heating from frozen will cause the beans to go mushy! We also have a blog post rounding up some DELICIOUS batch cook bean recipes on our website, which again are easily freeze-able.
“The range of recipes is excellent. Living in a small town like Hertford it is quite a challenge to source a lot of the ingredients, but we embrace the challenge and are very keen to try many of the recipes; particularly as we try to reduce our red meat consumption in favour of vegetable alternatives! Well worth the money!”
Thank you so much Alan. We’re so happy to hear you’re enjoying the recipes! Totally get that sourcing some ingredients can be a bit tricky, especially in smaller towns. If there are specific recipes where ingredients are hard to find, feel free to drop us a message - we’re always happy to suggest easy swaps or alternatives that work just as well. And big love to you for leaning into more veg-led meals. We're so glad the beans are helping make that shift a little easier (and tastier!).
“These really are the tastiest beans I’ve ever had. I have to stop myself eating them straight out of the jar! The taste and texture are fantastic quality and hold together well during cooking. I have recommended them to all my friends and they agree with me that Bold Beans are the best.”
Thank you so much! We absolutely love hearing this! We’re thrilled that the flavour and texture are hitting the mark, and it means the world to us that you’re recommending our beans to your friends. Straight-from-the-jar snacking is always encouraged!
Ahh this makes us so happy to hear Helen! We’re thrilled the cookbook’s become a go-to in your kitchen. What's your fave recipe? Here’s to many more delicious beany meals!
“Have come across your website via Ottolenghi and am In New Zealand. Thrilled to see that I can get your book at the library here and I will be keen to get a copy once I have read it. I wish your beans were available here.... hope they will be one day!”
Thanks so much for your lovely message Debbie! We're thrilled you found us through Ottolenghi and that you can enjoy the book in New Zealand. Hopefully one day we’ll get the beans over to you too!
