Download or read book Rice and Spice Cookbook written by Aur Beck and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-23 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 8th, 2009 a derecho struck a terrible blow to Southern Illinois, knocking out power to many in the region for almost a week. Founder of Rice and Spice, Aur Beck, was one of the few people in town who DID have power. Armed with his trusty solar generator to power freezer and refrigeration storage, he and many others took their food to Gaia House and spent many nights eating dinner together. Once the power returned, people didn't want to stop meeting for dinner, and so Rice and Spice International Slow Foods dinner was born! This cookbook is a collection of recipes from those dinners.Review-First impression--very visually pleasing, this is a warm & friendly book that invites the reader to relax and really take a good look. At first I was a little rushed (as usual), but as I read the story of how R&S started, I found myself slowing down b/c the story was so interesting. The friendly graphics really made this more of an experience than just reading something. -The R&S posters and Gaia House event log pics were neat to look at, they create a sense of real history.-The recipes themselves are really interesting and exotic, and it's nice that they are organized by event/nationality so we can know where some of these come from. I never would have guessed collard greens had anything to do with Cinco de Mayo, and I would never have thought to try them in a soup with chickpeas.-Good timing on the inserts--just as I was starting to get really curious about some of these recipes, I came to page 20, where a description of the recipe is the first thing you see. It's not too "in your face" as it would be if you had these descriptions for every dish, as some of the dishes are self explanatory. Neat touch.-The pics of each event are heartwarming and really gives me a sense of familiarity, almost like I could be there myself. It makes the dishes seem like they could be cooked & enjoyed by anyone, even though they are exciting and exotic, and out-of-the-ordinary. -it's really neat how you guys used the metric and english measurements for those of us who don't know how much a gram or a ml really is. I'm sure the reverse is true for the rest of the world.Final take--each recipe was obviously given by individuals--making this a very unique and interesting book that I personally would be glad to own. It was a real pleasure to be able to see this before it comes out, especially since I have been hearing about it for a while now. The book reads like people are standing there talking to you, telling how to make this stuff step by step, but not in an overbearing way. The overall spirit of Rice & Spice definitely comes through in this book! It would also make a very unique gift for anyone who is curious and loves food, especially food with a story behind it.

Book excerpt: The chef behind the popular Mowgli Street Food cookbook shares over 100 global rice recipes to spice up your kitchen Across continents, rice is the dramatic centerpiece of the table and at the heart of life. In Pimp My Rice, food writer and chef Nisha Katona shares recipes from her home kitchen and around the globe, from Pimped Rice Piri Piri to Beefed-Up Bibimbap and even Black Rice & Coconut Sorbet. Showcasing a rainbow of types and explaining how to cook them perfectly every time, Nisha takes the fear out of the world’s greatest cereal killer. Nisha Katona is a rice evangelist. Why? It does not need peeling, it does not need soaking, it likes to be left to cook without a watchful gaze. It has an eternally long life, waiting long in dark cupboards, bidden to warm musky life when fridges are empty and potatoes are sullenly sprouting. Far from being an understudy, rice is the most virile, muscular weapons of mass construction in the busy working kitchen. Nisha, who runs a fantastically popular Curry Clinic on Twitter, is on a mission to demystify rice and to show the enormous breadth of rice recipes that can be created simply and quickly. As a second generation Indian, she shows how to marry different cuisines together, to create vibrant, exciting dishes. In other words, this is a book of pimped-up rice recipes.

Download or read book Soya and Spice written by Jo Marion Seow and published by Landmark Books Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2009 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My parents were my first cookery teachers and our little kitchen was my classroom. I, being the eldest, often pitched in to help with food preparation, eventually learning to cook at a fairly young age. The food of my childhood is humble and simple, yet hearty and wholesome. Some, like Hiang See Poong (Salted Black Bean Rice), Ang Zhao Mee Sua (Rice Wine Vermicelli Soup) and Fish Cake Rolls, you will not find in food centres or restaurants, others are much better tasting home-cooked versions of popular Teochew favourites such as Soon Kueh (Turnip Rice Cake), Braised Duck, Hae Chor (Prawn Balls), Lor Bak (Braised Belly Pork) and Oh Nee (Yam Pudding). Then there are also the Malayanised dishes of Hae Bee Hiahm (Spicy Prawn Floss), Hiahm Bak (Spicy Pork) and Assam Prawns. To these I have added a few of my own creations, including Roast Turmeric Chicken and Dory with Curry Leaves. In this book, I share with you the recipes for these dishes and many more passed down by my parents, uncles, aunts and grandparents. They are recipes which I have used countless of times in my own kitchen for my own family. We all have an emotional connection to food. Thus, I decided that I had to do more than just pass on our family recipes. I had to write of the times my grandparents and their children lived in, and when I was a little girl. So, I have written about food that evokes powerful memories – of sights, smell and tastes that can, in an instant, transport us to another time. I have invoked for you a past that is part of our children's inheritance. One of those rare folks who can draw on both science and tradition to explain the whys and how-tos of cooking, Jo Marion Seow's recipes are full of flavor and feeling. Whether you want to replicate her dishes or just gather fodder for social conversation, Jo's book is a delight. — Tan Shee Lah Soya and Spice is a cookbook after my own heart, full of reminiscences of her family and the past. Food history is hard to come by and when a writer such as Jo Marion Seow delivers it with such warmth and flavour, it is a treat. The food she writes about, mostly wholesome home cooking, also raise happy memories of the Teochew side of my family and I love her leisurely accounts of how to make well-loved dishes such as Teochew ap, Hae Chor and yes, Oh Nee, that sweet sticky yam dessert. — Sylvia Tan
