Market Hall Foods is pleased to welcome Steve Sando, founder of Rancho Gordo heirloom bean company, for a book signing of his seventh cookbook, The Bean Book.
Few people know heirloom beans better than Steve Sando. In 2001, he founded cult-favorite bean company, Rancho Gordo in Napa, California, which focuses on heirloom varieties indigenous to the Americas. If you thought beans were boring, you don’t know Rancho Gordo. Their dedicated legion of legume lovers is renowned— the Rancho Gordo Bean Club has a waiting list of more than 20,000 names and their impressive roster of fans includes chef celebs like Thomas Keller and Marcella Hazan. Steve Sando’s latest cookbook, The Bean Book is a testament to why these legumes have inspired such fandom. A comprehensive guide to 50 heirloom varieties, it celebrates their unique flavors, colors, textures and versatility through beautiful photography and 100 recipes that highlight their deliciousness. If you enjoy eating beans, you need this book!
In honor of Steve Sando’s new book, the Market Hall Foods kitchen will be preparing two recipes from The Bean Book: Beans a la Veracruzana and White Bean & Anchovy Dip. These dishes will be featured on the Weekend Menu, which guests can purchase on the day of the event to enjoy at home.
