Heirloom bean expert Steve Sando provides descriptions of the many varieties now available, from Scarlet ­Runners to the spotted Eye of the Tiger beans.

Some of the recipes are from the Rancho Gordo kitchens, some from top chefs like David Kinch of Manresa. Thomas Keller of French Laundry, Ad Hoc and Bouchon wrote the introduction.
