Rice and Spice

Rating:
Summary: Diverse, wonderful one-dish meals.
Review: This book if full of excellent vegetarian (suprisingly!) one-dish meals. The author's tastes run along my own lines. In this book you'll find recipes that come from Japanese, Indonesian, Indian and Thai roots as well as American eclectic innovations. The author has included main dish, soup and dessert recipes.

I'm not a vegetarian, but have been pleasantly surprised at how satisfying the dishes are. I never thought that vegetarian dishes could be so good. Rice is, of course, the common thread that ties all of the collected recipes together and the author has devoted the first chapter of the book to educating the reader about the different types of rice and how to prepare rice in a foolproof manner.

What I loved about the book is the way I changed my eating habits by getting hooked on the simplicity of the one-dish meals contained within, the flavors of the dishes (incredible) and the way I felt after eating (full, but not stuffed = more energetic).

This is my current favorite cookbook.
