Kill the Recipe is a cookbook and visual guidebook on the basics of radical beanmaking and plant-based eating, written by Mark Andrew Gravel and illustrated by Lucy Engelman.

It guides you through making a heady soup or stew, an earthy casserole, a velvety puree, a quick saute or a flavorful side, a cool salad, easy bean patties and crunchy roasted beans. It also teaches you how to make crispy bean fritters and bean pancakes as well as fix a quick pot in under 10 minutes.
