I never knew that rice could be so exciting. ha.

The Amazing World of Rice. By Marie Simmons. Rated 4 1/2 stars, but from only 4 reviews at the present moment at Amazon; rated 3.44, from 9 ratings at GoodReads. Print list price N/A; regular(?) digital price $14.80; Kindle price now $0.99. HarperCollins e-books, publisher. 288 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-World-...+World+of+Rice.

Book Description
Today's market shelves are lined with unique varieties of rice from all over the world. Join noted cookbook author and Bon Appétit columnist Marie Simmons on a journey through the amazing world of rice -- from learning how to select the right type of rice for every dish to the best ways to prepare each kind.

From Publishers Weekly
Simmons, the author of a host of user-friendly cookbooks and the "Healthy Cooking" column in Bon Appetit, here puts to rest the stereotype of rice as a bland starch served alongside Asian food. For those who thought a rice cookbook could only be a treatise on 1950's-style rice salads or a primer on How to Boil Rice, this vibrant, multicultural collection of original recipes should come as a welcome treat. Simmons's range is broad: Black Bean Chipotle and Rice Soup with Cilantro Cream rubs shoulders with Lamb Kebabs on Persian-style golden rice, Curried Coconut Rice with Cauliflower, Butternut Squash, Green Beans, and Cashews, and Hoppin' John; she also concocts a vast array of risotto and paella variations. An intriguing rice glossary covers the relatively familiar territory of basmati, Arborio and jasmine and introduces readers to the more obscure Bomba, Camargue and Rosematta grains . . . . the book offers dazzling proof that rice will always be much more than a staple.

I noticed early in the day today (Saturday) that the price of the Kindle ebook had gone (back?) up to $16.99 (ack!). Oddly (to me, anyway), it's still 99 cents at Christianbook. That's at this moment; I don't know when it will go up. As we say in the South, "gittit wile da gittin iz goot."

Oh yeah, the ebook (ePub) at Christianbook is DRM-Protected.
