Throughout
its history, Boston has been linked to beans. Surely the
lowly legume is not the sort of association city forefathers
would have sought when striving to cast their city's mark in
the New World. But find each other they did -- as evidenced
by the names Beantown, Boston baked beans, Beanpot Hockey Tourney
and the Boston bean pot, among others.
It hasn't
been until the 1900s, however, with its emphasis on healthy
eating, that the homey image of a bubbling pot of beans has
gained cache. Beans are of the moment, the very definition
of what our food should be about -- carbohydrate and fiber rich.
The fondue pots and huge electric skillets of earlier eras have
been replaced by the traditional stoneware bean pot, the most
potent image your kitchen can display to show that you are eating
"right" for our times."
This super
popular cookbook, written by Merilyn DeVos, multiplies many
