Today, on the Liz's Healthy Table podcast, we’re talking about pulses–dry beans and peas, lentils and chickpeas, soybeans and peanuts. I know. I know. This is the show you’ve all been waiting for. Right? Right! Pulses are versatile and yes, they can also be pretty exotic. They’re nutritious and KIDS LOVE THEM. At least that's been my experience and the experience of my guest, cookbook author and mom, Jenny Chandler. Jenny Chandler is a mom, a cooking instructor, author of four cookbooks including The Better Bean Cook Book and Great Food for Kids, and my go-to expert on pulses. In 2016, she served as the International Year of Pulses Special Ambassador for Europe, which may sound  fancy, but Jenny is one of the most down-to-earth chefs I’ve ever met. She’s from the UK, and we became fast friends last year when we met at a nutrition conference in Vienna. She was there to talk about, you guessed it, pulses. On the show, we offer a primer on cooking with pulses, explain why they're sustainable and nutritious, and we share two recipes from Great Food for Kids for Super-Speedy Bean and Tuna Salad and Indian Lentil and Tomato Dal. Jenny also talks about getting your kids into the kitchen to cook with you and ultimately, on their own. You can read the full show notes and access all the resources at www.lizshealthytable.com.
