This cookbook proves the rice cooker--which tends to have a bad rap as a never-opened or oft-neglected wedding gift--can be surprisingly versatile: not only does it prepare your rice, it can be used for every dinner course--salad, soup, vegetable, entree, and even dessert. <p> There is a complete buying and cooking guide for the many rice varieties, as well as other whole grains such as barley, millet, wheat berry, and quinoa. Many of the recipes provide convenient alternative cooking methods for traditional dishes like Italian risottos (the Italian Sausage Risotto is wonderful). Hensperger and Kaufmann show the rice cooker can also work miracles for hot breakfast cereals and porridges with such recipes as Hot Fruited Oatmeal. Delightful main courses include Steamed Ginger Salmon and Asparagus in Black Bean Sauce, and the meal is done almost exclusively within the rice cooker for simple preparation and cleanup. The dessert section has many ideas beyond the expected Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding--the Poached Pears with Grand Marnier Custard Sauce is one elegant and sophisticated example. Both authors of this cookbook are seasoned food writers and this combined effort gives tasty, easy, and healthy recipes that will motivate you to use what has been, until now, an underutilized appliance. <I>--Teresa Simanton</I> 1981329 2002 The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook : 250 No-Fail Recipes for Pilafs, Risottos, Polenta, Chilis, Soups, Porridges, Puddings and More, from Start to Finish in Your Rice Cooker total:38|5:9|4:19|3:8|2:2|1:0| 38 149 67 11 4 0 false false Wed Oct 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 19:27:25 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 14:49:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Aug 25 20:48:11 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 23:40:46 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon May 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 13:06:57 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 10:56:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Mar 01 10:34:50 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 10:36:11 -0800 2009 5 1 false false Mon Feb 16 18:21:18 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 18:22:06 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jun 10 14:30:48 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 21:10:49 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Nov 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Sep 28 09:55:23 -0700 2009 Tue Nov 03 18:51:10 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Aug 17 08:46:30 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 17 08:48:04 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Oct 01 11:37:04 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 11:37:47 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Nov 11 16:39:58 -0800 2007 Sun Nov 11 16:42:31 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 16 21:21:12 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 16 21:22:54 -0700 2008 yeah, I could eat this way!]]> 0 0 false false Mon Nov 23 00:48:50 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 00:48:50 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 13:02:54 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 13:02:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 28 12:29:14 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 12:29:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 27 23:44:39 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 23:44:41 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Sep 25 03:34:58 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 03:34:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 18 11:32:46 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 11:32:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 25 14:17:41 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 14:17:41 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 23 16:30:03 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 16:30:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 23 13:36:46 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 13:36:46 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=73666
