This review is from: Rice Cooker Creations With Debra Murray (Hardcover)

Purchased this while buying the Wolfgang Puck rice cooker. The rice cooker is the single button cook/warm type with a lid that snaps closed and has a seal. The recipes are for that type of cooker so I don't know how it would work for fuzzy logic types. The recipes are easy to fix and the ingredients are easily found. I only wish it had more recipes in it. It does cover a variety of foods and tastes, including desserts. I like the fact that although limited, the more general approach to the recipes can be used as inspiration to create your own. Recipes include rice dishes (risotto too), bean dishes, stew beef, pasta meals, soups, dessert, etc.. There is even a chicken fettuccine recipe that uses frozen chicken.

Overly simple recipes calling for mostly canned ingredients. Wolfgang raved about these recipes on HSN, but after trying a few, I find it hard to believe he would ever eat anything prepared from this book. Having said that, if you like using canned foods and cake mixes, you'll enjoy these recipes.

We've had this rice cooker and the accompanying book for 6 months now. The book is really great. Delicious recipes. We've made a ton of the shrimp recipes - our college kids fight over the leftovers. Buy it.
