Yummy fun

This book is all about rice! The recipes are flavorful and different. No particular ethnic flavor preference in the dishes (there are a couple of paella dishes). One draw back to this book is not having all the tools necessary to make some of these dishes (like a paella pan), but most of the recipes are adaptable to other tools. The other draw back is not being able to quickly, easily and readily have all the ingredients necessary. The recipes take planning and a couple of trips to different grocery stores to find the necessary herbs, squash, etc. Fantastic photos and the wonderful risotto recipes make this book a must own for anyone that likes to do a bit of cooking and likes rice. A great book for those with wheat allergies or gluten intolerance! Mixed feelings on usefulness of this book for those with dairy and shellfish allergies/interolerances.

The Rice Bible

This attractive book combines the history of rice with some fabulous recipes. Full of color pictures that dot each page, you will find recipes from all parts of the 'rice' world, China, Japan, India, Korea, Thailand and so on. The recipes aren't too difficult and many are substantial enough to act as a meal on their own. If you love to cook and eat rice, make this your bible.
