Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann's The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook offers 250 timesaving, convenient, and healthy recipes for making everything from simple white rice to full-course meals. 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.

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. --Teresa Simanton

Echoing the complaints about the type color - Mom Central - Davis, CA USA
I love this cookbook. The recipes are not overly complicated, but they are good enough that I would happily serve them to company. The variety is tremendous. The breakfast foods alone make it worth the price, in my opinion. However, I hate to *read* this cookbook, because the type is so light in comparison to the page, that it's extremely difficult (and that's in my well-lighted kitchen!) I really have trouble with the orange type in particular. (The ingredients are generally given in orange type.) Plus, I worry that the type is going to fade even more over time. I like the book so much I've even thought about buying it for my Kindle, but Kindle has its own problems converting lists and graphs, so I've avoided doing that for now.

Tips for Cooking Alone

One of the greatest challenges of life is the fight alone in the kitchen. Grocery stores do not sell products for a person what to cook too hard. How can we ensure that no residual portions of food, but let food go? Here are tips on how to excel in the kitchen, but go alone.

Before you freeze meat and bagels. A person can not consume enough to prevent meat and bread in a week to it from destruction. However, these elements can freezePlanning needs time to thaw the meat before cooking. Even the bread does not taste as good as frozen, so it might be better to leave a bit 'for the first few days if it is fresh.

Another big step is to buy Tupperware. With Tupperware, you can cook large quantities and save some 'food for later. This process means you can have a large amount of time, because you only have to cook a couple of nights a week to save. Some foods work better than others whenchilled to try and test just to see what works best cook in large servings.

Finally, it is necessary to experiment without fear. If you are cooking alone, this is the time to put in disorder. Feel free to try, try different foods you might not normally, and how they are paid. As you interact with others, to impress them, when displaying a vast knowledge of cooking ingredients, and avoids the problems of disorder, if they are there with you.

ThisReviews not make you a master chef, but then get on the path to a boil, even when they are alone.
