The Everyday Rice Cooker

For those who think a rice cooker is a one-hit wonder, it's time to think again. Lemon Chicken Soup with Orzo? Mixed Mushroom and Bulgur Risotto? Sausage and Broccoli Rabe with Farro? Yes, all can be made in a rice cooker! This practical cookbook details methods for prepar­ing basic grains and collects 85 soups, stews, salads, side dishes, and complete meals, including lots of options for vegetarians and pescatarians. And the information on how to use a rice cooker to its fullest advantage-from basic, no-frills models to high-tech fuzzy-logic machines-makes it easy to put satisfying, delicious meals on the weeknight dinner table with minimal effort and maximum speed.
