I like to eat rice, so I'm always looking for new ways to use it in recipes, and this book provides some useful tips and ideas.

It starts with an introduction on different sorts of rice (I admit I didn't know all of them) and different ways to cook rice. This was certainly a useful section for me. The recipes looked great too, there is a lot of variation between different kinds of dishes, but I haven't yet any of them so I can't comment on their quality. However, they look good. As always, I would have loved to see more pictures.

I am certainly planning to make some of the recipes soon!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!… (más)

*** I RECEIVED THIS BOOK FREE FROM GOODREADS FIRST READS ***

I needed this book. My first attempt at cooking rice has prevented me from trying again so I need a little help and inspiration. (Did you know that rice is a lot like Gremlins?? I swear they multiply when hit with water....) Some of the recipes in this book might be a bit too advanced for me, so as a novice, I'll be starting with some of the more basic ones. And wholy moley there are a lot of types of rice! The book has beautiful pictures though. (I like having something to compare my dishes to. Ya know, kind of as a "NAILED IT" moments...)… (más)

"Pimp My Rice" by Nisha Katona

My Thoughts...

What a interesting array of rice recipes with short introductions, information and photos. The reader will find recipes from around the world...soups, noddles, salads to name a few. I liked how this author was able to show one how to explore a foreign cuisine for a traditional recipe to a modern twist with even showing what can be done with 'leftover rice.' You will find easy to follow recipes with photos that comes from all over the world and even desserts made with chili, ginger and mango crumble ...wow, now that sounds interesting! What a lovely way to explore some real interesting and filling recipes.

If you are a rice lover be ready for some fantastic recipes of what all you can do with RICE!… (más)
