The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook
250 No-Fail Recipes for Pilafs, Risotto, Polenta, Chilis, Soups, Porridges, Puddings, and More, from Start to Finish in Your Rice CookerBy Beth Hensperger, Julie Kaufmann
Revised and updated edition of the best-selling rice cooker cookbook by the James Beard Book Award winner and “appliance book queen.”
Rice cookers are perfect for how we cook today: Versatile and convenient, they have one-button technology, don’t take up too much counter space, and are a breeze to clean. And they can do so much more than produce foolproof rice, beans, and grains. This new edition takes note of the whole-grain revolution in U.S. kitchens and offers recipes for a host of new (and rediscovered) grains, like quinoa, millet, couscous, kamut, and spelt, whose popularity is rising fast. It focuses on a wider variety of rices, too, with lots of ideas for red, black, basmati, jasmine, and Arborio rices, as well as partially milled white rice. The authors have also added a complete guide to the new rice cookers that have come to market.
