On the Pulse: Super easy, protein-packed recipes for lentils, beans and peas

Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback

Overview:
On the Pulse invites cooks of every level to rethink what dinner can be with lentils, beans and peas taking centre stage. Organised by colour, this vibrant collection guides you through a world of pulses—from the familiar chickpea and red lentil to the star turns of adzuki and edamame—so you can discover your next favourite recipe in moments. Georgina’s approach is practical, friendly and empowering: she demystifies varieties, explains health benefits, and shows you how best to use each pulse to maximise texture, nutrition and flavour. The book spans quick weeknight bowls to more elaborate centrepieces, all designed to be approachable without sacrificing taste. Expect clear, step-by-step instructions, essential swap ideas, and time-saving tips that help you cook with confidence, even on a busy schedule. Notable dishes include Green Falafel with Harissa Yogurt, Vietnamese Meatballs with Edamame Beans and Asian Broth, Broad Bean Pappardelle with Pancetta, and Black Bean Mississippi Mud Pie with Salted Caramel. With pulses at the heart of every recipe, this is a joyful invitation to diversify protein sources, enjoy seasonal ingredients, and feel inspired to cook more plant-forward meals.

What Makes This Book Stand Out:
Where pulses are often hiding in the background, On the Pulse puts them in the spotlight. The colour-coded structure makes it simple to browse by mood, ingredient, or cuisine, turning a pantry full of beans into a passport to flavour. The recipes blend classic comfort foods with contemporary twists, proving pulses can anchor breakfast, lunch, and dessert as confidently as dinner. Georgina pairs practical techniques with flavour-forward ideas, helping you soak, simmer to the right texture, and balance spices for bold yet approachable dishes. The book also doubles as a mini-culinary education, outlining health benefits of lentils, chickpeas, and beans, plus tips for substitutions and pantry planning. Whether you’re cooking for one or feeding a hungry family, this collection delivers reliability, nutrition and delight in every bite, inviting repeat experimentation and a genuine sense of achievement in the kitchen.

Who This Book Is Perfect For:
Perfect for plant-based cooks, flexitarians, and anyone seeking easy, protein-rich meals without sacrificing flavour. It’s ideal for busy households who want fast weeknight dinners, students stocking a healthy pantry, and new cooks building confidence with pulses. The bright, colour-coded layout makes navigation intuitive, while the mix of quick-range recipes and more ambitious dishes offers a scalable reading and cooking experience. Gift buyers will love a practical, inspirational book that introduces a new staple ingredient family, and pulse-curious readers will enjoy the broad culinary palette on offer.
