Amazon.com Review
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

5 out of 5 stars rice cooker cookbook   October 7, 2008
I purchased this book for my college son but like it so much that I want to buy one for myself. It has a lot of variety and healthy recipes that can easily be made in the rice cooker.


5 out of 5 stars Extremely useful book   September 30, 2008
Even if you aren't planning to make full meals or dishes, if you have a rice cooker and want to do more than rice, get this book. It is an invaluable quick reference for grain-to-water ratios and cooker settings for a huge range of grains and legumes. I've made steel cut oatmeal, millet, lentils, buckwheat, and barley - and it's turned out right, the first time, every time. Without the book I would have been guessing and experimenting and probably choking down a lot of not-quite-right food.

1 out of 5 stars If you've got money to spend on a LOT of fresh vegetables and fancy spices...   August 29, 2008

...this might be the cookbook for you. But then why would you be fixing your food in a rice cooker, anyway?

I bought this book looking for some simple but good recipes to use in my rice cooker. Instead, most recipes call for a lot of ingredients, including fresh, seasonal vegetables and expensive spices you're unlikely to stock in your pantry. Not to mention all of the dicing, slicing, pureeing, and grinding that goes into preparing these recipes. If you're going to put all of that effort into it, again, why would you use a rice cooker? Rice cookers are perfect for fast, easy meals! If you're like me, working full-time and looking for easy, affordable meals, this is not the cookbook for you.

It's also not a good investment unless you have two rice cookers: an expensive fuzzy logic and a cheap On/Off rice cooker. I have a fuzzy logic rice cooker and after buying the book, I discovered that three chapters are for On/Off or Steamer rice cookers. That's three whole chapters you can't use if you have a fuzzy logic rice cooker, including the only dessert and whole meal chapters in the book! If you don't have a fuzzy logic rice cooker, beware because there's at least one chapter that is almost entirely devote to fuzzy logic rice cookers, so no matter what you will find that huge portions of the book are worthless to you.

I don't see any good alternatives for rice cooker recipe cookbooks, so for now I'll stick to the Internet. I recommend you do the same.



5 out of 5 stars Great Cookbook   August 20, 2008

I have had this for a couple of months now and have tried many recipes. All good. Some fantastic!
I have no complaints but will say that I have an Z- induction cooker (lucky me) and the instructions that she gives to saute' in the cooker sometimes don't work out so well for me. It'll get real hot for about a minute and then go off and on, so it takes too long and then my cooker is too hot to reset to another setting. (which she suggest doing or let it finish in the cycle I'm sauteing in) It then won't work until it cools off for a couple of minutes. OR if I'm on the quick cook cycle for saute' for example, the cooker will go all the way through the cycle before the veggies are soft enough. If it's just an onion or garlic it's fine but more veggies don't work so well, and I'm just going to start using the pan for that step instead of the cooker. So I have to was a skillet. Big deal. Might just be my cooker I don't know.
This book is really a must have for anyone with a rice cooker. Love it!
