Imagine having a love affair again! Yes, I was asked and I couldn't resist again. I started this year with this beautiful event and it's only fitting I end with it. When Susan dropped in a mail, I didn't take more than a second to say yes. After all love affairs are so much fun, especially when it is with legumes. Not a day passes without this being cooked at home.
But hey having said that I hope you will wear creative hat and dish out some interesting stuff.
Ok let me first get into what makes a legume, though many of you know and must have read about it a lot. They may be new folks to be briefed on!
A legume is a plant in the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae), or a fruit of these specific plants. Well-known legumes include alfalfa, clover, peas, beans, lentils, lupins, mesquite, carob, and peanuts. Fenugreek, Beans, lentils, peanuts, peas, and soybeans are some of the common legumes consumed by humans. Grain legumes are cultivated for their seeds, and are also called pulses. Grain legumes include beans, lentils, lupins, peas, and peanuts.
Though the French refer to any kind of vegetable when they mean légume, we are concentrating only on the pods.

So you have a wide choice to choose!
Then we have some exciting prizes offered by Susan (All prizes are awarded to one winner)
1) Selected and purchased by Susan: The Blogger Aid Cookbook
The Blogger Aid Cookbook is not just any cook book, but one in which the recipes have been contributed by food bloggers all over the world. More specifically, one hundred percent of the proceeds from the cookbook will go to the WFP’s School Meals Programme, which benefits an average of 22 million hungry children each year.
I am proud to have contributed something to the cookbook. And I happy that one of you will be a proud owner of this book.
2) Hurst Bean Box - A case of six bags of the winner's choice of Hurst Bean products, suitable for every diet, sponsored by Hurst Bean.
