4.0 out of 5 stars Great start with a new rice cooker!, October 8, 2005

This review is from: The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook: Delicious Flavors for Today's Easy-to-Use Rice Cookers (Paperback)

I'm glad I got this book at the same time as I bought my first rice cooker. There are 150 recipes for rice dishes, steaming vegetables, seafood, poultry and meat; plus tips on using a rice cooker, PLUS suggestions for adapting your existing recipes for use with the cooker (very helpful). The recipes are health-oriented, too!

Since there isn't much info shown for this book, here are the 10 chapter headings: Rice in Soups, Rice Side Dishes, Eggs & Cheese, Vegetables, Seafood, Poultry, Meats, Rice Salads, Breads & Stuffings, and Desserts.

Recipes I tried and liked, for example: Chicken & Sausage Risotto; Indonesian Fried Rice (nutty & spicy); Korean Honeyed Rice w Nuts (not a dessert, good w spicy foods); Hashed Brown Rice (I wouldn't have thought of that); Baked Peach & Rice Custard.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I thought, February 5, 2009

I needed a cookbook that would give me recipes to use my new rice cooker for more things than just rice. When I received this, it has many ways to cook different kinds of rice and many recipes just using already cooked rice. Just not exactly what I thought it would be.
