- One pot wonder heaven
The Bad:
-Recipes are just ok.
Details:
So far I've tried two recipes, and I'm not impressed. They weren't bad, but they weren't amazing.
When I try a new cookbook, I try to determine if I should if it's worth my time. I start with the recipes with subtle ingredients such as scallops, calamari, or any kind of white fish. The scallops in sherry-garlic sauce was just good to pretty good, but the calamari puttanesca was barely acceptable.
After two recipes, I stopped there. I wasn't floored by either of them. I'm going to shelve this one, or sell it used.

Summary: It's ok, but nothing special
Comment: There's a few good recipes, and many passable ones. The introduction and background info is very good, but there just isn't that much of it. The book sticks pretty much to toppings on plain rice, so it's nothing that you probably couldn't have gotten from a more expansive book.

Summary: Every one a winner -- and most in 30 minutes!
Comment: I have another book by Rick Rodgers, and I really liked it, so when I saw this one I thought I'd check it out. Five recipes into it I wanted to head to the kitchen and cook. Before this book, I didn't cook meals with rice very often. I do now. The recipes are not complicated, and I always have the ingredients in my kitchen. The recipes that say "Can be cooked in under 30 minutes" really CAN be cooked in under 30 minutes. I haven't encountered a dud recipe yet. All are delicious. Among my favorites are Shrimp and Green Beans with Peanut Sauce, Chicken and Asparagus with Mustard-Tarragon Sauce and Sirloin and Black Bean Chili (in under 30 minutes no less!). This book is a boon to all those of us who work a long stressful day, and then have to come home and cook.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Outstanding Simplicity and Clarity
Comment: An outstanding collection of simple meals with clearly described instructions. The Chicken and Asparagus with Mustard-Tarragon Sauce is one of my favorites. Rick Rodgers really delivers with this book full of 30 minute marvels.
Customer Rating:
Summary: OK
Comment: This cook book has great photos for every recipe and a good variety of foods. However, the emphasis is NOT on rice, but on different main entrees. Each recipe has suggestions for the rice to serve with the entree, but does not give detailed cooking directions for the rice. A disappointment.
