5.0 out of 5 stars Too good to pass up!, May 12, 2000

This review is from: Vegetarian Rice Cuisine: From Pancakes to Paella, 125 Dishes from Around the World (Paperback)

Another fantastic book by author, Jay Solomon. I picked this one up, because I have celiac (gluten intolerance). Rice is one of the grains that I can eat so this book gets used quite frequently. Rice seems like a simple grain, but the diversity of recipes in this book make me want to eat rice every night! Some favorites are Sante Fe Posole Stew, Emily's Pepperoncini Rice Salad, Greek Spinach Pilaf, Champagne, Mushroom, and Spinach Risotto, Nasi Goreng, and Red Hot Lava Stir-Fry. A must have for any who wants or needs an alternative to breads and pastas!

I love rice and grains and before becoming a veggie I had a neat rice book - searched long and hard but finally found this vegetarian rice book and I love it! A few favorites are the Herb-scented lentil and rice salad and the Miami rice and Avocado salad. There are also great recipes for main dishes and they're from all sorts of ethnicities - middle eastern, creole, indian, italian, etc.I'm not very good at making risotto but there are a number of those recipes in here too.
