Book Reviews of 366 Delicious Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, and Grains
Book Review: Have you had your rice today?
Summary: 5 Stars
In China, a popular greeting replacing "How are you?" is "Have you had your rice today?". The Chinese word for rice is the same as the word for food. In Thailand when you call your family to dinner you say, "Eat rice"; and in Japan the word for cooked rice is the same as the word for meal. Parents tell young Chinese girls who leave rice in their bowls that each grain of rice they leave represents a pock mark on the face of their future husbands. There are perhaps as many as 40,000 varieties of rice grown on every continent, except Antartica.
You will learn about many of these varieties of rice in the beginning chapters of this book, and you'll even learn how to make your own easy mixes. Combined with beans, rice dishes offer a perfect protein, without the saturated fat complementing our meat dishes. Rice is high in complex carbohydrates, contains almost no fat, is cholesterol free, and is low in salt.
On top of all the wonderful rice dishes found inside the cover of this beautiful book, you'll enjoy a wide variety of bean and grain recipes. This book is a must for any flexitarian, vegetarian, or vegan . . . and for anyone who wants to achieve a better diet. The recipes are easy to make, can be prepared ahead, and are delicious!
If the only rice in your pantry is Minute Rice, you are missing out . . . on flavor, nutrition, and eating pleasure. Expand your palate and buy this book! You and your health will be all the better for it.
