5 Stars lives up to its name
My boyfriend and I work six days a week, and dont get home ever before 6pm and sometimes we dont get home until 10pm. I bought this cookbook especially for our shortened dinner preparation time.

We pick recipes that have total times of 30 minutes or less. We do the small amount of chopping, gathering ingredients and pots before we leave for work (which takes all of 10 minutes). The recipes are very quick to assemble, most of the time is just waiting for the ingredients to cook in the pan/pot.

Some of the recipes require a few asian/mexican ingredients, but not as many as original cultural recipes! And the overwhelming majority dont require “exotic” ingredients at all!

Other reviewers have said the food is too “fancy”.. what’s fancy about sloppy joes, barbeque chicken, spahgetti with meat sauce, fried chicken, tacos, steak sandwiches, mac and cheese, pork/lamb chops? Last time I checked just about every american family eats something to that effect every night. There’s even a recipe for HAMBURGERS!

If you’re short on time, eat any of the above staple foods, and/or even want to be a little adventurous and try a simple Pad Thai or Hot and Sour soup, dont pass this book up.

The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook 250 No Fail Recipes for Pilafs Risottos Polenta Chilis Soups Porridges Puddings and More from Start to Finish in Your Rice Cooker




Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann’s The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook offers 250 timesaving, convenient, and healthy recipes for making everything from simple white rice to full-course meals. This cookbook proves the rice cooker–which tends to have a bad rap as a never-opened or oft-neglected wedding gift–can be surprisingly versatile: not only does it prepare your rice, it can be used for every dinner course–salad, soup, vegetable, entree, and even dessert.

There is a complete buying and cooking guide for the many rice varieties, as well as other whole grains such as barley, millet, wheat berry, and quinoa. Many of the recipes provide convenient alternative cooking methods for traditional dishes like Italian risottos (the Italian Sausage Risotto is wonderful). Hensperger and Kaufmann show the rice cooker can also work miracles for hot breakfast cereals and porridges with such recipes as Hot Fruited Oatmeal. Delightful main courses include Steamed Ginger Salmon and Asparagus in Black Bean Sauce, and the meal is done almost exclusively within the rice cooker for simple preparation and cleanup. The dessert section has many ideas beyond the expected Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding–the Poached Pears with Grand Marnier Custard Sauce is one elegant and sophisticated example. Both authors of this cookbook are seasoned food writers and this combined effort gives tasty, easy, and healthy recipes that will motivate you to use what has been, until now, an underutilized appliance. –Teresa Simanton

The price of this book is worth it solely for the Curried Butternut Squash soup with Candied Walnuts. Seriously. (Obviously there are a lot of other great recipes in here as well)
